ESSENTIALS
Name: James Rider Verone
Nickname: Rider
Apparent Age: mid-late 30s
Occupation: Wizard; acquisitions

APPEARANCE
Faceclaim: Ben Sturgess

Rider is average and chubby and not particularly memorable, with messy dark brown hair and dark eyes and a five o'clock shadow. His features are attractive but soft, the roundness of his face taking him from handsome to something a bit more forgettable. He dresses in simple business casual, collared shirts and slacks, comfortable but professional shoes.

He holds himself quietly, trying not to attract too much attention, and mostly he seems to succeed. He is not a memorable man.

PERSONALITY
Quiet and serious and incredibly earnest, Rider has the kind of personality that it's easy to trust. He's self-conscious and careful not to offend, sometimes to a fault; he holds himself inward and doesn't give much away.

IMPRESSIONS
He carries a lot of magic with him, often wearing a light coat even in the heat -- protection -- and rings on several of his fingers - more protection. He avoids people's eyes, mostly, and it's hard to tell if it's nerves or something else. He smells like cigarettes. He has an awful lot of very nice, expensive things.
