Excerpt

Slidar and his armour both look a little past their prime, smile lines and other wrinkles deeply writ into his face. He has wisps of thinning greyed hair, a well-trimmed moustache, and the sort of warm eyes and expression that put people at ease. He stands remarkably straight-backed for his age.
