Profile
Elan Einlhander is always looking toward the ground, never showing acknowledgment toward anyone else until the moment is ripe. While he is indeed half-elf, the only elven signs he shows are his ears, which have a slight point to them. Upon his person is a lengthy, jet-black coat that covers most of his body, the first three buttons are done up and close the top half of the coat. At the edge of each arm is a white folded cuff, roughly hands length and covers most of his hands, which are covered by black leather gloves. On each finger of the gloves is a solid band of brass, encircling his knuckles. Upon the top of the coat is a brilliant white collar, and quite large at that, it is flipped straight up and surrounds the whole lower half of his face, including in front of his mouth. Adorned all over this coat are several of what can only be belts, yes belts, up and down this coat. They are fastened around his arms, across his waist and torso, and hanging loosely from the bottom.
Elan wears large, black boots on his feet that seem to be five sizes to large, and well-polished for whatever reason he may have. His build is light with a slight lack of strength and defense, and his body seems to be made more in favor of speed and agility rather than power. In light of this speed preference, Elan wields a light-weight sword on his back, even though it's light of weight it is roughly five feet long and six or seven inches wide. The blade is a shade of clear, blue mithril, and the last inch of the sword's edge is coloured brilliant silver. It's hilt is wrapped in leather, showing bits of black on it's pointed ends, sticking both up and down. In the top center of the hilt is a fist-sized blood-red ruby fastened right into the hilt at the base of the blade. It clashes with the leather wrapping, so it's assumed that it's a gift from a loved one or else a special sign.
As you look into Elan's nearly gray eyes, although still slightly blue, you see a faint sadness, like he's lost a small piece of his soul but tries not to show it. A few strands of his otherwise vertical hair hang over his eyes, perhaps to hide them from the public. The rest of his dirty-blonde hair sticks up and hangs a little forward in large, solid locks, his hair adds roughly six inches to his actual height.
A mostly unrewarding life of blind nobility and heroism is how Einlhander exists. Caring not for his own safety, Elan will put the life of another person before his own and defend them at any cost. These methods of his have often times costed him dearly, but it doesn't matter to this noble half-elf, he travels the land in silence with this purpose. Many a time has Elan been beaten to within an inch of his life for the sake of a person in danger.
Elan is the only man to actually reside in the Tower of Art on a living basis, only leaving it's shadow to quest in the world a bit. Elan lives in the Tower for a few reasons, mostly because of sentiment, having come there early in his life and never having left for the longest time. It just feels like home. So it has come to be that Elan Einlhander calls the Tower of Art his home.
