His Lordship SkinEater is a full Orc who, in his youth, might have stood well over six feet tall, but his aged and arthritic body is now permanently warped from a moderate hunchback. Stooped forward, shoulders arching forward and head downward, SkinEater walks carefully and slowly, relying heavily on an iron-shod staff. While some have described SkinEater's movement as perpetually fatigued, it is described by those who know him better as calculating, deliberate, and methodical. SkinEater's speech is slow and careful, and conducted in a whispered baritone, as if his throat had been damaged in some fashion. SkinEater also spends unusual amounts of time perceiving his surroundings, managing to level his stooped head and survey his surroundings in an almost reptilian fashion.

SkinEater's long, braided hair, his eyebrows, and his neatly trimmed goatee are extremely thick and obsidian black; his skin—especially noticeable in his face—has the color and texture of dark, weathered rawhide; his eyes are a penetrating milky lavender, set deep within his skull. In public, however, SkinEater's person is rarely visible, hidden underneath a heavy, full cloak, the hood draping over his face, the sleeves draping over his fingers, and the hem dragging on the ground. SkinEater is generally clothed in heavy silks and cottons, favoring deep crimson and violet combinations with gold trim.

If one follows the lines of SkinEater's long, trimmed fingernails up the course of his hands, it is obvious that he wears at least two jeweled rings on each finger. This, combined with a jeweled necklace and a bracelet of jeweled charms, demonstrates a spark of flamboyance in SkinEater's otherwise serious demeanor.
