Appearance
Short salt-grey hair, wind-burnt and cropped close, framing a weathered face with dark brown eyes that have spent a lifetime reading water. He stands at average height, slim and sparing in every movement, the slow economy of a man who has hauled longlines since boyhood. A deep old scar runs along his left forearm and a chipped front tooth shows when the dry half-smile finally arrives. He comes to the waterline in worn oilskins and rubber boots, a fresh fish in hand for the rock.
