Tozbek is a Thaylen ship captain whose striking eyebrows and jaw scar make him an unmistakable presence. He is married, and his wife handles the ship’s undertext while he tends to his duties, including writing a letter. He remains associated with the ship and its crew throughout his brief appearances.

Description

Tozbek is short and even-shouldered, with darkly tanned skin from working in the sun. His most striking feature is a pair of long white Thaylen eyebrows, each about a foot long and lifted into curious, spiked shapes like waving fans. A scar marks his jaw, and he wears a simple knit cap with a black coat fastened by silver buttons. His practical clothes and steady captain’s bearing give him a weathered, workmanlike presence.
