PUBLIC CHARACTER RECORD
What is known
Morcant Veilcap keeps strange insects and small critters at Botanic Ring in Sunspindle Commons. Beneath a stern brow and layers of skull-shaped adornment, the elderly keeper gives small unsettling lives a patient, particular attention. He pauses before answering, adjusts a patched edge and expects visitors to approach without grabbing. His ceremonial manner can seem forbidding; his care is practical, gentle and unhurried.

PHYSICAL RECORD
A presence before an explanation

- Top-heavy and shrine-like: a broad skull-crowned upper mass tapering into a short robed body with long vertical sleeve shapes and two large rounded feet at the base.
- Scale
- Reads as short to medium-short, with an enlarged head and headdress, a compact torso, and small facial features nested inside the larger mask-like framing. The feet are exaggerated and anchoring, giving him a planted, almost toadlike steadiness.

- Warm ivory horn surfaces, richly dyed cloth panels, taut organic membranes or lace-like inserts, glossy black eyes, and carefully groomed beard points.
- Colour
- #F1E3C8, #C46A3A, #7A1F2B, #4A2E58, #2B2623
