Appearance

He is smallish in height and has a delicately lithe build.  He appears to be very young.  He has long-lashed cobalt-violet eyes and velvety smooth alabaster skin.  He has nape-length, lush ebon-hazed purple hair and a stygian leather hat with a broad rim and crooked conical crown worn at a rakish angle.  He has a perfectly symmetrical, delicately featured face, an upturned nose and thin-tipped pointed ears.  He has lustrous smoky lilac glaze brushed onto his neatly squared fingernails.

Background

Described by his Illistim mother as a "generational disappointment", and his Vaalor father as "a source of perpetual dismay", Gwynek was not a great pupil during his childhood. His interests flitted, as did his attention. Thus, much of the expense spent on raising him to be an esteemed academic of Illistim, or an officer of the Crimson Legion in Vaalor, was done so in vain. Elemental magic and swordplay both drew his attention, but his refusal to adapt his intuitions to their teachings led to their constant exasperation. in his early adolescence, his parents withdrew all tutoring, and Gwynek tried to fill in the blanks on his own. In during the Feast of Immortals in 5119, Gwynek declared his interest in joining the Wizard's guild, which inspired the typical ridicule and teasing he'd come to expect from his parents.

So he left.

Speech and Demeanor

In his day to day, Gwynek rejects much of his Elven upbringing. He infrequently speaks elven, and much of his common vocabulary has been shaped by his time at sea with pirates and privateers, leading to a manner of speech that blends canting with the academia when he's in a sociable and bantering way. He does get anxious, morose, and after the events of the player driven storyline "Lost in the Mists," his mercurial aspect has intensified.
