• Appearance:
Reynaud Dubois has the presence of a weathered mountain—tall, broad-shouldered, and steady, with strength born from carrying others’ burdens. His dark brown skin is sun-worn and etched with the creases of wisdom, especially at the eyes. Salt-and-pepper dreadlocks frame a serious clean-shaven face. He favors loose linen or cotton clothing, often white or natural-toned, suitable for both ritual and daily labor. His movements are slow and deliberate, each one grounded. An easy smile speaks to his amiable, but firm nature.
