PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What is known
Brackle listens for changes in the windtowers around Windtower Yard: a loose fitting, an uneven turn, a sound that was not there yesterday. Branching horns and folded wing-limbs give the patient listener a forbidding outline. Brackle reports what needs inspecting rather than promising what caused it. A tower can make a great deal of noise without offering a useful explanation.

PHYSICAL RECORD
A presence before an explanation
- Silhouette
- Top-heavy and shrine-like: a broad crowned head, tapering face, then a suspended body flanked by long downward wing-forms. The outline reads almost like a hanging root mass or a stern mask with drapes.
- Scale
- Reads as larger than a person when encountered up close, mainly because of the breadth of the head and horn spread. The face occupies an unusually large share of the body’s visual importance, while the torso feels compact beneath it.
- Material
- Warm reddish hide concentrated along horns, cheek ridges, and wing folds, with paler throat skin and soot-dark recesses; surfaces remain organic, dry, and slightly calloused.
- Colour
- #B86A3D, #7A3E2E, #D7B08A, #6A5A49, #241B18

- Long folded wing-structures descending along both sides of the body like draped limbs.
- Jagged, uneven contour language throughout the cheeks, horns, wing edges, and lower body.
