Although Salem Ave is what the Empire would consider a mutt (being only half Human), the only evidence of his Nagai heritage is a paler-than-usual complexion. He is tall and compactly built, and has a certain roguish charm about him, being fairly handsome by most standards. Salem has a number of bionic implants, the most noticeable being a bionic eye and arm, the latter of which is concealed by synth-flesh. Aside from these artificial augmentations he has a number of distinguishing scars and tattoos on his body, gained during his time as a smuggler. Notable among these are brands of ownership, applied by various Hutt crime-lords, and a bizarre circular design permanently inked upon the underside of his left wrist, whose meaning and origin he refuses to discuss.
