Appearance
• Physical: Durkash is wiry and compact, built for speed and silence rather than raw strength. His charcoal skin is unusually dark, helping him blend into shadows. His eyes are amber and seem to glow in dim light. • Clothing: He wears mottled leathers that blend with forest and stone, with soft boots that make no sound. His cloak is woven from shadow-spider silk that seems to absorb light. • Distinguishing Marks: His eyes are his most distinctive feature, and he has ritual scars on his feet from a coming-of-age trial.

- Allies - The clan's military leaders value his intelligence, and several owe him their lives for warning of ambushes.

- Mannerisms: Rarely makes eye contact, constantly scans his surroundings, speaks in brief sentences
- Voice: Soft and raspy, as if he has forgotten how to speak at normal volume
