Lord Mayor of Amber
Son of Bleys of Amber and Swayvanna, daughter of Swayville
Trump Descripion
Ian looks to be in his late thirties. He stands around 6'0", and is lithe rather than muscular, looking as if he keeps himself fit. He has a healthy, outdoor complexion and somewhat boyish good looks, although the latter effect is often lost under a slight case of four o'clock shadow. His hair is cut fairly short, and is light brown with distinct auburn tints, and he has hazel eyes. He is dressed simply, in jeans and a plain black t-shirt, with no visible weaponry.
He is pictured standing at the foot of an ornate staircase, beautifully carved with what looks like some kind of leaf and flower motif. The panelling above the steps suggests some kind of old world stately home. His chin is resting in his hand, as if he was trying to do thoughtful, but he is looking at the artist with a slightly mischievous look on his face and the trace of a smile.
Astral Form
In his astral form, Ian looks somewhat younger, and his hair is more red and noticeably longer. He’s dressed in a leather jerkin over a woollen tunic, dark breeches and riding boots, with a cloak falling from him shoulders. There is a heavy, cross-hilt sword at his hip and a dagger in his boot.
