You see Vellinos Ezumeus the Arcanum Chain.
He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
He appears to be ancient and tall. He has narrow deep black eyes and ebon skin. He has shoulder length, glossy black hair tipped with scarlet tendrils. He has an angular face and a hooked nose.
He has a series of horrible scars that resolve into strange, faintly luminescent runic patterns winding across the left side of his face.
He has a blinded left eye.
He is holding a twisted lore staff wrought with a spiral of razored black steel in his right hand.
He is wearing a thick leather eyepatch inset with a razern-ringed scarlet soulstone, a silver-twined whorled bloodstone pendant, a voluminous scarlet velvet longcoat slashed with ragged patterns of shadowy hues, a variety of sigil-engraved rings fashioned from pure urglaes, a heavy dark grey shirt lined with gleaming onyx buttons, a leather component's bag, a pair of deep black leather pants, and a pair of knee-high black leather boots.
Vellinos while attempting to bind the mana flows to him:
The figure appears to be bathed completely in the shadowy essence pouring down from the pillars like a torrent of water -- you can barely make it out within the haze of shadow, but you can hear him murmuring quietly as if in intense concentration. A single, pale crimson wisp of energy continually rises up from where the figure's left eye would be.
a cowled dark-robed man.
Mostly hidden in the folds of his robe, you can see faint features every now and again that paint him as an elf of Faendryl lineage. Between the shadows, dark golden eyes occasionally flash through, while the tips of the steel grey hair that hang low over his face only serve to cloak his face in further shadow. He holds a pale sephwir staff in one hand, while his robes are absolutely cluttered with bags and pouches. Nevertheless, he carries himself with an air of nearly royal dignity and elegance.
