Adrian Vasumir

Physical Description:
Adrian is a slender man in his later years, his hair and beard gone completely silver-grey. His face is lined with age, but his green eyes are still bright and quick, and his hands are as nimble as ever. He usually dresses in shirt and breeches of faded green, with soft leather boots and gloves. He usually has a short, curved pruning knife tucked in the back of his belt. When reading or doing fine work with his hands, Adrian dons a strange apparatus of silver wire that holds two glass circles over his eyes...spectacles, rare and costly.

Personality:
Adrian is a smooth, mellow man, with a quick tongue that he seldom uses. When people ignore him, he is silent, but when they talk to him, he holds up his end with surprising wit and eloquence for a gardener, speaking in a clipped Cairhienin accent. Adrian is almost completely non-violent. If angered, he will respond with acid words, but would never resort to physical confrontation unless absolutely cornered.

History:
Adrian hails from Cairhien originally, though he left his homeland some years ago. For a time, he was a master of Daes�Daemar, and the Game is part of the reason he left. He seldom speaks of it anymore, but is content to simply be a gardener, a man who doesn�t worry about Houses and intrigue, but only about roses. His spectacles often spark questions, and his answers are simple: they were dearly bought from a Sea Folk trader, and he has them simply because his eyes aren�t what they once were. He will say no more on the subject.

Hobbies/Notes:
Adrian is likely to be found in the gardens as well as the library, where he spends much of his free time. He especially enjoys poetry and books about science. He�s willing to talk to anyone who engages him in conversation, and many of the Browns and Whites in the Tower enjoy his company or ask his opinion on things. Certain Greys and Blues have tried to approach him for his opinion on other things, but he remains silent on those matters.
