Though his eyes remain dark and calculating,
and his expression is ever one of critical disapproval, there is little common ground between Pwll's assumed bodies beyond a taste for black clothing and the tell-tale silver chain of his pocket-watch. A remarkable item, the watch was a possession of the wizard Dren Ap-Mara, and contains a mechanism that can be set to chime a melody, much like a music box, at a chosen hour. Aside from its marvellous intricacy and the fact that it still works at all, the device possesses no special power.Pwll currently stands a middle-aged man, pale, of average height, with short, dry, dark hair. His face appears careworn, but this is undoubtedly a legacy of its natural owner. Indeed, little about its new possessor suggests he has ever cared about anything at all.
If not for his relentless drive, Pwll could easily be labelled a nihilist. He holds no faith and curries no favor, seeming to hold even the Gods in contempt. He is terse, arrogant, and seems to care for little besides his own ends. A solitary creature, he has little time for entanglement of any kind, even with those he brings himself to respect, but nor is he a fool. He recognizes the value of capable assistance, and will ally himself wherever the advantage weighs most heavily in his favor -- Trust, however, does not come naturally to him. Pwll admires intelligence, prudence and practicality, and detests stupidity, naivety and heroes -- all of which he seems to find in abundance, and generally concurrent.
In a curious habit that could be considered a gesture of honor or a ghoulish mockery, Pwll assumes the first name of every body he usurps, appending his own as its secondary. Thus, in having recently assumed the body of Tobin Stern, he has become Tobin Pwll.

| Impeccable Timing | Perhaps it's a side effect of his long existence, perhaps the centuries of listening to the ticking of the watch he carries with him, but Pwll has an uncanny knack for being in the right (or wrong) place at precisely the right time. The music-box chiming of his pocket-watch frequently heralds significant and sometimes unanticipated change • SP |
| Corpse Raven | Pwll is a connoisseur of countless corpses. He has a strong talent for determining cause of death, suitability of potential vessels -- living or dead -- and has better odds of predicting when a person will expire than most. Also something of a boon to Malediction.• SP |
So much forgotten. So little known. The most crucial elements of Pwll's history lie entombed beneath the ashes of an Alahean wilderness, and he himself is reluctant to speak of it... or even to broach the memory at all.
But the past has a way of catching up with you, and this much is certain: Something is pursuing him. Though he never gives the impression of running so much as simply staying one step ahead, it's clear that whoever -- or whatever -- looms behind him is not a force he wishes to meet.
