Tall and broad-shouldered, Illayser carries an everlasting image of his inheritted pride and arrogance. His eyes are narrowed, often casting a pitiless, condescending stare; once dark blue, they are now coloured in the same sickly green hue as the rest of his race. The cracked thin lips and the constantly wrinkled nose give him an unchanging hostile expression which even a smile does not alter. Several scars mark his hardened face and a long-healed burn stands revealed upon his neck. His hair is in a fiery orange colouring, reaching down his chest and covering his shoulders. Illayser appears physically strong: he lacks the shape of a warrior, but his strength is evident for his ability to handle a weapon.
