Description: Long black hair falls to shoulder length, moving in a curtain of midnight when he turns his head. It is rare that there is not an errant lock falling across his features. Full lips flutter between salaciousness and bemusement, though, its equally inclined towards a sardonic smirk; whatever the cant, it is always expressive. His pale, unblemished skin holds no sign of scar or freckle, at least, not on his face. With his beardlessness, he appears relatively youthful in demeanor.
Without too much in the way of height, the man can occasionally seem almost waifish, his build given muchly towards a slenderness. Yet, a careful observer would note something more wiry than at first glass, skin taut against his frame like leather across a drum, a body of whipcord and steel.
Perhaps unfairly, he has long black lashes. Often, they are darkened with soot.
Personality: In a simple pass, Ezekiel is a genial fellow. He is rather phlegmatic, offering little more than a smile, without much of a temper. It is rare that he is anything more than convivial. Footloose and fancy free, he is more than pleased to tell a story, or pass off a tale. Of course, he's lusty and a bit of a drunkard, but he rarely lets such things overwhelm his common sense.
Background: There is very little to tell of the man named Ezekiel. Few records mention him at all, and those, almost exclusively in the Oathlands -- yet those that know him, would never think such. Perhaps its another fellow with a similar name? Perhaps he's a hidden identity, perhaps a host of other things. He makes his way in the world mostly as a teller of tales and occasional troubadour, yet, he's also some talents with dueling, or at least, that's what is said.
He's served from time to time as a Champion for those with a need for such things, prepared as well as he might be for such things.
| Name | Summary |
| Agostino | I didn't get to talk to him much, but he seemed gracious and incredibly talented with that harp of his. |
| Alessandro | A very talented harpist. Must remember his name. |
| Amari | A very talented bard (and occasional duelist). One who I suspect, despite his youth, has left no small number of broken hearts in his wake. I don't think he'll ever want for admirers nor delighted and appreciative audiences. |
| Andromeda | He plays good music. I've seen his name on the roster of the Champion's Guild. He has a gift. Of slipping into the background, and just existing, when he shares in his talent. But of making himself known and visible when he chooses. Spritely and joyous. I wonder how that works with his bouts for honour and gold. |
| Anisha | A skilled musician, first and foremost. Well worth your time and silver. I maintain he can lift any spirit by his presence and I expect the two of us could spend many an hour exploring his art and mine together. Take joy in the simple moments, my friends. |
| Appolonia | I know I had a little wine but was the wine /that/ good or was it the music? Curiosity is my virtue so it is no small wonder it has been piqued by that musician and his playing. |
| Ariella | Singer so good he put a smile in my heart. Almost made me forget I was in tremendous pain. |
| Astraea | He's got the touch of a minstrel about him. Plays a beautiful instrument that I wanna know more about. He's very kindly and humble and seems to enjoy simpler things in life but then again it could be a facade! Dun dun duuuuuun! Just kidding I think he's rad. |
| Berenice | What a musician! |
| Bianca | What a beautiful musician and one with the experience to play to his audience. I hope to cross paths again. |
| Bliss | One of the finest voices in the Compact that I've ever heard. He is a singer and a duelist - but he has switched the priorities compared to me. Likely competition in time. For now, excellent accompaniment. |
| Caith | He was at the .. debate? Duel? Showdown? Between Saoirse and I. I forget where he stood on matters but I firmly believe that he is Pro-Stumphrey, Pro-Hugs. He just had the look about him! I will need to track him down to double-check, though. |
| Cullen | A rather talented bard whose music never fails to uplift me. I've grown to be quite an admirer of his performances, and count myself in luck when I run into somewhere he's playing. If only there were more as skilled as him around. |
| Delilah | A man with considerable means to spend on charity and the most elusive presence. I wonder what songs he might sing, were he so inspired. Perhaps one day I shall know. |
| Draven | He plays nice music! I didn't hear much of it, because I was looking at Nova, but it was good! Nice to dance with! |
| Duarte | His music made me happy. Not as happy as it made Duchess Rubino. But happy all the same. |
| Elara | A fine bard who surprised us all in the Ebb and Flow. |
| Elgana | An interesting if quiet man. I admit we did not speak but one can learn much from observation. Not everything but sometimes enough to light curiosity into a blaze. |
| Everett | A musician with a voice like in sound to the sight of poured honey. Soft, silken, golden, aglow. Must be a mighty fine singer, this lad! Likes cider two, so that's a twain positive. A bit reticent, calm, and humble. Good man. |
| Faruq | I recall him outbidding myself and Sir Ober for the pleasure of Fatima's company. Unfortunately, he is Sir Jordan's friend so I can't even get him back for it. Ah well. Quiet. Unassuming. I am sure he is a good man. |
| Faye | Shared a drink at the Sleepless Knights. A skilled musician with an interesting past. I enjoy talking to him, even though might enjoy his music even more. |
| Fredrik | A talented bard with the power to turn one's distress into mellow mood. Such raw talent. |
| Gaston | Quite the songsmith, one is always soothed to hear a fine tune from a skilled bard. And he knows the sort of tunes I like, all the better! I should hire him for the family dinner. |
| Grazia | A charming young musician, beautiful of face and quite talented. I'd love to get him involved with the local theater troupe. |
| Ilira | Plays like he's got moonlight at his fingertips. Ethereal and wondrous, something about it makes me smile. Though, a voice like that should sing luscious lyrics, ones meant less for the public ear. |
| Jeffeth | He seems to be a fun fellow. He said his blade is mean. Or that he was mean with a blade. I guess it's hard to be nice with a blade. But to only be mean when you're holding a blade, that seems strange. But he said he wasn't the meanest blade. So there are other people he has met that are way meaner with their blades. Anyways. What a nice guy. |
| Jordan | A pleasant Champion who has lived a storied life. These kinds of people are always good to know. I wonder if he can make my byname somehow become popular enough it becomes the way people address me. |
| Kenna | There's just something about the music he was playing... I'm not sure what it was, but it was so pretty. |
| Korka | I guess he doesn't suck at music. |
| Luca | One damned fine musician, that's what I can say about this one. That would be enough, but he seems capable in conversation as well. He must have been, to distract me so from keeping up with the numbers of drinks I was having. I had one heck of a hangover in the morning! That never happens to me anymore.. |
| Maharet | A highly skilled harper. May he never be called to sing of strife, but contentedness for his days long |
| Mailys | A Minstrel, a duelist, a man rich in experience. Quite an entertaining fellow to have met at the Grotto! |
| Marli | A very charming sort. Champion and bard. He talks well, doesn't fluster easily. I like him. |
| Martino | Utterly delightful musician. The softness of their fingertips, the hush tones and mood they draw out. Utterly relaxing to hear and a delight to be around. |
| Medeia | The bard is talented and intriguing and will play one of my parties. I swear it. |
| Melody | When a musician brings out your emotions -- Usually -- It's a sign of immense talent. For that I'm impressed, because for just this night I feel all too happy. I hope that I get to hear more very soon. |
| Mercedes | Silver tongued troubadour who was a duelist in a former life. Worth remembering that entertainers often pick up all sorts of information on their travels -- should speak with this one again. |
| Mirari | Music, drinking, blah blah. I do like music occasionally, but not when I'm tired, cranky and being felt up by a woman who doesn't understand the meaning of personal space. |
| Nijah | I have heard he is a good singer, and perhaps I can get him to write an amazing song about Prisila! |
| Nina | A natural musician with some incredible talent. I was very encouraged by hearing his song, and I hope to play a duet again with him some day! |
| Pasquale | The harper weaves fine songs of beauty and loss on request. Entirely worth the night out in a fine drinking house to hear him play. |
| Petal | Free and wind like and he takes lots of care of his musical instrument and he plays lovely songs. |
| Reese | Lovely music and he is a duelist too. An interesting mix. He seems to be entertainer and is pleasant company. |
| Sabella | Another artist! If I didn't have so many proteges already I'd take him on in a heartbeat! He seems very nice and I look forward to getting to know him better...and maybe getting Prince Aiden to get him a nice dog? |
| Saoirse | Attended the ... hug off. Why did this turn into a hug fest. |
| Sorrel | The music he plays is like food for the soul, longing and exquisite. May his harp always be in tune, for he is a true musician. |
| Sunaia | I didn't want to smile but damned if I didn't find myself doing so, listening to this man play his harp and sing. That's a rare talent. |
| Svana | Oh, he's pretty - but I have never heard a harp played like he plays it. He makes the harp sing like he's a cherub. I must know more. |
| Tabitha | What a wonderfully talented musician! I hope to hear more of his songs. |
| Valdemar | A talented, and humble, performer. |
| Vanora | An incredibly talented musician, his playing moves like few others can. |
| Zoey | The best musicians are the ones who so completely lose themselves in the music. |
