Appearance[]
Austere and handsome, Alistair stands as an exemplary illustration of the appeal often attributed to those of noble blood. His features, unmarred by knotted scarring or blemish and possessed of angular and rugged features, speak more to the heartiness of masculinity than fickle, fleeting boyish charm. His eyes, a dark crimson shot through with glowing red at their center beneath an eternally furrowed brow, show no distinction to exhibit requisite kindness and give no illusion to the accursed affliction he suffers. What remains of his appeal lies in traits that are less noticeable: his long, loose dark mane of hair and neatly groomed beard, the sheer deviance of his smile and the rich tenor of his voice are often far more appealing than his nature.
It is clear from first glimpse that Alistair is one of some self-possession to spare on presentation and presence, for what garb he chooses is of rich leather or quality cloth rightfully belonging to one of his station. His is the frame of a man favoring brute strength over deft lethality: the cut of his broad torso and the span of his shoulders are impressive paired with his intimidating stature, and the authority with which he strides is either self assured or over confident, depending on the onlooking eye. There is never a time where he does not stand with his disinterested gaze skyward - should he be forced to look down his nose, perhaps the lord would find something less agreeable than himself to look upon.
Any lingering sentiments of softness are swiftly snuffed in favor of the undeniable, should his mortality give way to the monstrosity that lays slumbering within. Massive, powerful and of a hide as black as night, the beast that he becomes speaks to the heart of deep fears in form, a twisted lupine creature standing a terrifying amalgam of strength, speed and stamina against the fragility of humanity. A cavernous maw, wild crimson eyes and a deep, mournful bellowing howl are often the last thing his prey sees and hears before misfortune sets upon them in a most grisly and ferocious of manner.
