Kaenag Firewolf

## Kaenag

Kaenag is a Reachfolk smith and warrior. He was born in the Markarth, but escaped home in his early teens and grown up travelling, primarily in Elsweyr. He is part of The Company.

## Appearance

Kaenag is a burly, muscular, and very tall man with moderately tanned skin, green eyes, and dirty-blonde hair. Although he is quite imposing and in good physical shape, he carries a few extra pounds around his waist as a consequence of his love for sweets, meat, and mead. His face is rectangular and covered by a well-maintained full, short beard. He is occasionally seen with his clan's facepaint and traditional Reachfolk kilt, though more often than not he wears clothes that can't be really associated with any race or smith apron. His hair is wavy and usually shoulder-length, though occasionally he keeps them shorter or tied in a small ponytail or bun.

## Personality

Kaenag is a man of few words, but he is kind and soft-spoken. His actions are usually motivated equally by logic and emotions, but he rarely acts without thinking. He is open to others' points of view, perspectives, and cultures as he's seen most of Tamriel and met quite a diverse group of people. He is patient and caring though also quite overprotective. He tries to see the best in people, but he is not naive.
