Qasim

Short black hair, closely trimmed beard, dark brown eyes, and thin gold-rimmed glasses. At work he wears a snow-white robe under a dark brown cloak with gold trim, and always keeps two pencils in his pocket.

Personality. Rigorous, stubborn, and gentle. Speaks slowly, citing classics and authorities, believing that everything has a provable explanation. Cherishes artifacts as if they were living beings; wears gloves when touching anything. Does not get angry at rude people, but quietly clarifies their mistakes one by one. Disbelieves in magic until he sees it with his own eyes. Uses precise wording and is always polite in how he addresses others.
