Coclès, the old gatekeeper, has served his post for nine years, during which time one eye went blind and the remaining good eye grew very weak. His poor vision prevents him from recognizing visitors, marking the passage of time and the toll of faithful service on an aging retainer.
Description
An elderly man with one completely blind eye, the remaining good eye having grown very weak and clouded over nine years of service. Weathered features and simple gatekeeper's clothing mark his station, his uncertain gaze reflecting his diminished vision.
