In his younger years, Dorfen had locks that looked of molten gold. Now that he is approaching middle age, his hair has turned gray, but still retains it's metallic sheen. On his left hand are two gold rings, and on his right, three gold rings. A large gold chain necklace hangs from his thick neck. He proudly displays his mostly red with touches of orange and yellow
kapenia, a scarf from his Varisian heritage. If ever asked about it, he will gladly share his lineage shown on it through the intricate embroidery. For an adventurer, he is very well-kept. He is always clean-shaven, and keeps his clothes scuff-free. A downfall to his grooming habits is that his cologne is overpowering at times. Most will never know that he does have a "birth tattoo". At birth it was just a light golden blur on his chest, but has now grown with him into a big shining ankh.
When communicating with him, he uses a lot of exaggerated hand gestures. Also, he speaks with a slight Varisian accent that he tries to compensate with by enunciating clearly.
Although he tries to keep a very professional appearance and sometimes seems stand off-ish (i.e. rarely hunches, makes jokes, or uses sarcasm), he is a caring individual. He will offer to help those in need or offer a shoulder to cry on in a snap. Equally surprising, if not more, he loves social functions. Not for the the drinking, but for the music. He will dance, sing, and whistle to music.
