Mark — Appearance

Reference art: mark.jpeg

Mark is a massive human, built like the butcher he is: broad through the chest and gut, thick-armed, standing with the easy confidence of a man who has never lost an argument with a carcass. His skin is light, gone ruddy at the face and forearms from the work. He is bald, with a gold gauge in one ear and a full dark beard long enough to braid, tied off with a purple band. His left arm carries a full sleeve of green tattoos — skulls, crossbones, and curling flourishes. One hand is wrapped in a work bandage.

He wears a butcher's working clothes: a white shirt with rolled sleeves under a stained brown leather apron, crossed brown suspenders, patched grey trousers tucked into knee wraps, and heavy boots. His belt and apron carry his trade — a green bottle in the chest pocket, a sharpening steel, knives — and an enormous cleaver hangs at his side. In the reference art he has a live pig tucked under one arm, a bottle in its snout, entirely at ease with the arrangement.

Canon notes: the cleaver in his hand now is the Cleaver of the Last Cut, which bonded to him in session 24 — he considers it a fine knife. He is also accompanied by a pale severed hand, charmed in Ravenloft's entry hall with the promise of a pedicure; it rides on his shoulder or scuttles nearby.
