He has slightly wider shoulders and his torso gently tapers to his thinner waist. He is so skinny that no one notices his muscles through his clothes, however, when he wears short sleeves the muscles in his arms are decently defined because he is skinny and keeps in shape. His skin is pretty smooth. He normally tries to stay out of the sun, so unless there is a scar his skin is fairly even without the sun damage that many fair skinned outdoor laborers have. He has many scars on his hands and forearms from practicing sparring to become competent at the many weapons and skills when he trained to become an assassin. He is ambidextrous, but he leans more toward his right. This has helped his muscles, so they aren’t as lop-sided like some people who have competence with weapons. Because not everyone that he comes across knows that he is ambidextrous, he likes to keep that as an ace up his sleeve.
He wears basic colors that everyone wears: greens, browns, grays, blacks, or whites. He likes to wear blue for nicer occasions. The other colors are more basic and better for being less noticeable or helping with camouflage. He wears soft-soled leather ankle-high boots. The soft soles help him to walk quietly.

His hands are smaller than the average male, and his fingers are long and slender reminiscent of an artist’s hand. He keeps his fingernails fairly short, so they don't get in the way, but he still has a nail because sometimes it is handy to be able to pick at something.
