Vhalzun Rekk is a broad-shouldered githyanki with the hard, etched look of a blade that has been sharpened too many times and never allowed to rust. His yellow skin is marked with pale ritual scars that glimmer faintly in lamplight, and his bald scalp is lacquered with a thin sheen of warrior oil that makes him look almost polished. One shoulder slumps lower than the other from an old arena fracture, yet he moves with a predator's economy, every step measured as if he is still circling an opponent. He wears a cracked crimson champion's harness over layered training wraps, and the contradiction is striking: the armor is ceremonial, but the linen beneath is mended carefully by hand with neat, almost tender stitches. His left hand is missing two fingers, replaced by silver caps engraved with tally marks from old victories, and his stern face softens only when he watches a pupil improve.
