Pillbox is a lead gnoll mercenary whose nerve falters when his attention fixes on Carl’s Ring of Divine Suffering. His voice cracks with fear, and later he watches Carl from a railing, first nodding down and then crying. The mercenary’s guarded, military presence gives way to visible emotion, leaving vulnerability more memorable than bravado.
Description
Corporal Pillbox is a male gnoll mercenary, a canine-humanoid figure whose specific fur color, facial features, and eye color are not described. He wears heavy armor, lending him a formidable, practical silhouette. A shaking finger is a distinctive detail, while his cracking voice suggests strain even when he is trying to maintain composure. His presence combines a mercenary’s martial bearing with unmistakable vulnerability.
