Mordecai

Name: Mordecai.

Hair: Dark, the color of wet asphalt, long and greasy, gathered in a careless ponytail at the nape. Individual strands break out and hang down on the sides of the withered face.

Eyes: Cloudy blue, almost faded, with strongly dilated pupils that hardly react to light. The gaze is unfocused, wandering, but instantly becomes sharp and tenacious at the sight of potential benefits.

Appearance: The body is the epitome of Gulev's decadence. The skin is dry, parchment-like, grayish-earthy, tightly fitting bones and tendons. The muscles are atrophied, the figure is thin and angular. There are numerous small ulcers and abrasions on the face, neck and arms, characteristic of ghouls, some covered with coarse, bark—like tissue. The movements are slightly stiff, with a crunch in the joints. It gives off a faint but persistent smell of dust, old flesh, and something chemically sweet.

Character: Cynical, unscrupulous and extremely mercenary. His driving force is personal gain in any form: capsules, rare components, weapons, food, information. It is easy to bribe him for anything: from harmless minor services to frankly dirty and dangerous business. He has no firm moral principles other than his own survival. He is extremely talkative when he sees the interest of the interlocutor, and immediately falls silent if it smells like free help. The wizard finds the "necessary" goods and information for a fee. He is familiar in communication, sometimes intrusive.

Clothing: On the torso — a worn plaid shirt with short sleeves made of coarse fabric, over it an unbuttoned dark brown or black leather vest with faded areas and frayed edges. On his feet were old, faded work trousers made of thick fabric, tucked into rough, cracked boots. All the clothes are covered in dust and small stains, but they look functional.

Notes: Does not advertise his past. He is constantly on the move between Appalachian locations, rarely staying in one place for long if there is no stable source of income. He has an extensive network of contacts among the same marginals and survivors. He carries a worn backpack full of "necessary things" for sale or exchange. He can serve as a guide or informer, but his services are never free.

Genitals: The penis is of medium size, not circumcised. The head is covered by the foreskin. The pubic area is covered with sparse, dark, coarse hair without any hairstyle - an ordinary thicket, just like on the rest of the withered body.
