At around twenty summers of age, Cinnabar Calomel is lean and wiry of build and stands maybe 5'9" in height. His fine-boned features hint at some elven heritage, an impression reinforced by slightly pointed ears and eyes of pale grey. His hair is silvery white despite his apparent youth, and worn cropped short into unruly tufts.

He dresses in clothes of fine quality but practical cut, usually favouring a loose linen shirt, a doublet and britches of soft leather, and comfortable knee-length boots. The skillful tailoring of his clothes and the surpassing quality of the matched rapier and dagger at his belt indicate a man who not only appreciates excellent craftsmanship but can also afford it, though he steers clear of the gaudy ostentation and vulgar showiness often displayed by nobles and dandies.

Perhaps surprisingly for one who bears such well-forged weapons, it would appear that until his arrival in Myrken Wood he had little experience in the art of swordplay, if any. This is set to change following his recent apprenticeship to Tempestro Starr, and Cinnabar now spends much of his days going through drills, forms and exercises, honing his skills with the sword. He has on occasion crossed training blades with Agnieszka Kaczmarek and come off the loser against the more experienced fencer, which is something he seems intent on rectifying.

When not training he is most often to be found exploring Myrkentown, or passing time at the Broken Dagger.
