Description

A man such as this with tall rugged good looks can seem to stand out in a crowd. Dark brown hair that is swept in a wave off this man's face and hanging just slightly into stormy blue eyes. Just around one side of his neck and almost hidden by any shirt he wears is a rather ugly looking scar that goes from the right side of his neck down into the buttons of any shirt he may wear. His usual clothes consist of an open collared button up shirt covered with a dark red vest and a pair of loose black pants. His shoes are simple leather loafers. There is never a tie or any sort of dress up on this man. He's always casual no matter where he is.
