Vizden

Vizden first appears as

While the title of Clanfather or mother is usually given to the oldest living hawker, Vizden oversaw the reshaping of The Taoclave when its relevance and demand plummeted during those final decades. Many of the rules and codes were modernised to fit the group's struggling position in the fast-growing world; one of them allowing any to take the title of Clanfather/Mother if they w ere voted democratically. It was for this reason that Vizden claimed the title opposed to Dogiun, the eldest, and ensured the survival of The Taoclave until its ultimate destruction a decade later.

Personality and Appearance
The reasonably young Clan-Father was notoriously sociopathic and stoic; perpetually unfeeling and uncaring of people's emotions or concerns, and preferred efficiency and speed over low-risk strategies. He wasn't deliberately antagonistic or fearsome, but almost everyone coiled in his presence. Remembered for his thousand-yard-stare that never made contact with another's eye, even if it were staring straight at them. Some even believed he could read minds by seeing through their head. Though his cold nature was intimidating, he did have an underlying protectiveness over The Taoclave, and would, without delay or second thought, exact swift vengeance on any who wronged them.

Standing at a rounded 6 feet tall, Vizden was gangly and nimble with a bald head blanketed in self-inflicted scars that appeared to resemble the Satese language. His body was littered with other markings, some existing from his days in the Yrdai-Tokahni War, completely hairless but rough and weathered. His eyes were of an oily black-brown, one with a glint of green. Ironically, the only hawker taller than him was Yirris, the very man he was once hired to find and capture.
