Beneath his uniform he is horribly scarred, from wounds both magical and mundane, neither cleric nor medic has been able to rid his flesh of these scars, nor the lingering pain they cause him.

Other: For those who are unaware, the Kenku race has their wings, voices and creativity stolen from them by an angry god whom they once betrayed.
