Friendly, chatty opportunist.
Charming, generous.
Hard-hearted, manipulative.
Tall, with dark skin, dark, wide-set eyes, and full lips. Has a resting-smiling-face. Dresses soberly for their job, but for special occasions they dress much more flamboyantly, especially for Teteriuk: a lot of jewellery, padded silk, and velvet.

Rys has an opposed quality, Justice/Vengeance, which affects how they handle plot events and their later actions.
