==Appearance==
He has a starved appearance with all of his bones clearly visible beneath the skin, the equally old rags he wears have grown stiff in the confinement.<ref name="16.ye.2">He was emaciated. Her brother’s height, less than a third of the weight. Skin sucked in between ribs to the extent she could have laid a finger inside one of the divots and been level with the ribs. A man, dressed in scant rags, but the rags had gone stiff long ago.<br><br>He embraced a clay pot, legs and arms wrapped around it. He’d been down here for so long that tree roots had grown into him, draining away moisture and leaving flesh stone-like. Those same roots bound arms and legs in place. A curl of root filled one eye socket, and in the other, dust and grit had caked it to the point that it was impossible to tell where the eye was meant to open. The roots bound legs to the flat stone of the floor, extended beneath the rags of his pelvis. Rooting him to the floor in more than one sense. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/18 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.y]]</ref> His flesh has turned to stone and tree roots have grown around him one even obscuring his eye,<ref name="16.ye.2"/> the spirits of the environment filling in where his humanity has drained away with time,<ref>'''Appearance:''' The Trussed are humans or human-like Others who are often of an unusual height, frequently with the appearance of those who have been kept prisoner for some time, with little body fat, skin in poor condition (notwithstanding other alterations). They may be muscular or thin. Through stonework, carpentry, roots, or other environmental details, they are frequently knit to the surrounding structure. Skin may be of a texture blending material and organic. [...] Often mournful and disconnected. [...] Over time, the spirits of the immediate evironment will occupy the diminishing humanity. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wvukMJfW_Ci6_rsqrigpeDBhBsBqFajWmTEyL-b3XCU Bestiary: Trussed]</ref> the marked runes on his skin have sunken into carvings on stone.<ref name="16.ye1"/>
