  5. How old are you? - Early 20's
  6. Describe your physical appearance. - Silver scales. Built not too scrawny, but he has well-built upper body strength due to his smithing. Because of his experience with Bill the Bounty Hunter from Texas, there was a magical effect that gave him a luscious beard.
