Physical Characteristics

The largest and broadest of all the initiates, he is big, warm, and clumsy. He has a kind face and very dark brown eyes with thick eyebrows. He looks older than sixteen, especially because of his the roughness of his cheek which show that without shaving he would have a beard. He has a distinct sweet and fresh smell, like sage and lemongrass. To feel more like he belongs, he gets a tattoo of a spider. He is half a foot taller than Will and twice as broad. Everything about him is big; big nose, big lips, and big eyes. During his fights he is slow but powerful. During his first fight of Stage 1, he beats Will. He is not good at throwing knives and once the simulations begin in Stage 2, he screams and cries himself to sleep.
