Appearance

Matthais Desjardins' French aristocratic heritage is plain to be seen in his aquiline features, sharp nose, and widow's peak. His broad forehead, dark deep set eyes and extensive eyebrows give Matthias a intense contemplative air that adds to his religious mystique. The Fakir dresses himself in a combination of shabby Western and Oriental finery that lends him the aspect of a genteel adventurer turned native and down on his luck. But a closer inspection reveal a genuine humility and faith in the worn carpetbag that he wears over one shoulder, within are a handful of prized possessions: a prayer rug, bronze Tibetan singing bowl with wand, a old leather bound Koran, a flintlock pistol, his sabre and a Ironwood quarterstaff.

Behavior

Matthias is the calm and mysterious center of Alexandria's maelstrom. His willingness to interact with all levels of social standing regardless of caste or stigma open many doors for the Fakir that would otherwise be closed. The Apostle will quietly listen to nearly anyone, offering confession and its attendant silence for those seeking absolution, but he gives no judgement and only occasionally advice to those genuinely seeking solace. These traits grant him allies and contacts throughout Alexandrian society. As a man astride both the Oriental and Occidental worlds he is a member of all groups and none.
