Description
A young man with blond curly hair and blue eyes. A prominent scar runs from the corner of his mouth toward his mid-cheek, with other scars scattered across his chest and arms, including long white scars on his arms. He wears a golden band at his throat. In his final appearance, his severed head is mutilated, with one milky-white eye, a torn-away ear, a deformed nose, and patches of missing skin.
