Mask: LX is tall and lean with a wiry build. He has short brown hair, icy blue eyes and is clean shaven. LX’s face is hard and emotionless with a nose that looks like it has been broken in the past. He dresses in nondescript black trousers or jeans and a t-shirt which is often also black or another solid dark colour accompanied with a black leather jacket.
Mien: In his Mien LX is very similar to his mask in size and build his hair style and colour also stay unaltered. It is his scars and eyes that set him apart. His body and face are crisscrossed with scars from blades and claws and doted with burn scars ranging in size from cigarette burn sized dots to the burn covering his entire back. Most prominent of all his scars however is the livid “LX” branded on his left cheek from which he gets his name. LX burns with a perpetual cold internal rage that, when it flares to the surface, seeps into his icy blue eyes turning them blood red.

Shared Hollow (Amenities)
LX’s contribution towards the Freeholds shared hollow is basically a willingness to fetch and carry and make himself useful.
Background: LX remembers little of his life before he was taken. He doesn’t even know his own real name and didn’t know he was meant to have one until Danny asked him for it. All he has are fragmented memories; a loving family, playing beside a great warm fire, Sunday lunches where you could eat so much you felt like you would burst, his father having to go away and fight, his mother crying, his mother telling him to be brave and kissing him on the cheek and standing alone with a suitcase in one hand and a name tag around his neck in a strange place lost and alone. Apart from that all he knows is his time in Faire, a time of blood, pain, and steel. A time of living, sleeping and training in the dark only stepping into the light to fight.
LX is angry, all the time, he is possessed of a cold burning fury that he keeps suppressed deep down inside but it is always a hairs breadth form bursting free and consuming him. He hates this fact and that he can lose control but at the same time knows that it is this anger that gives him strength. That without this boundless rage he would have been dead face down in the sand long ago. That without his anger he would never have escaped.
LX met Danny during his escape and they emerged from the hedge together in Edinburgh and have been a duo ever since. Since their escape LX and Danny have been acting as mercenaries offering their services to the local changeling community and are starting to get there feet on the ground.
