* Groomed short dark brown hair, full beard, bronze eyes, dark skin, 5'8", average build.

* Usually wears a doublet, trousers, and knee-length overcoat of dark earthen colors. Wears an ornate kaftan and sash for more formal occasions.

* Not a fighter, so typically unarmed; unskilled even if he has acquired a weapon.

Polyglot: Jelal's foremost skill is his fluency in many languages, and his ability to learn new languages quickly. He leverages this in a number of capacities between parties which may otherwise have difficulty communicating—primarily in the wider slave trade across Arethil.

Speechcraft: Talking is Jelal's business, and through much practice has he honed the subtle arts of the wordsmith, the rhetorician, the persuader. Using the register of speech best suited for his interlocutor, from the blunt and the streetwise to the eloquence of the silver-tongued, Jelal has his ways of convincing those who might lend him an ear.

Composure: Despite not being a warrior, Jelal has garnered a reputation for nerves of steel, suited for harrowing situations.

* Logical. In nearly all cases will give precedence to reason and rationality over emotion; often outwardly impassive in this regard.

* Dignified and stately to such an extent that many are left with the impression that he is a man of high birth from Amol-Kalit.

* Calculating. Likes to be at least one step ahead. Prefers plans to improvisation.

* Practical. Doesn't attach much sentimental value to people or things if they can be utilized to advance his goals. Usefulness is acknowledged and appreciated.

+ Big smoker, whether it's a tobacco pipe or hookah, but doesn't drink.

+ Nosy. Has been known to intercept couriers and read private letters for no other reason than curiosity.

+ Despite all the skills gained in his professions, terrible with women. Makes tactless and awkward romantic advances if on the rare occasion he has interest.

+ Despises animals. Nasty, noisy, foul creatures.

+ Likes to engage in scholarly chats on esoteric subjects, though this is often grating to the uneducated associates with whom he usually keeps company.
