Description: Thawon Phoenixstrider is a tall and proud elf. He used to be muscular with blonde, almost golden hair. However, those who have known him for a while would notice that he has undergone a few changes during the past few months. He is much thinner nowadays and his blonde hair has turned white. This is due to a curse placed upon him which almost took his life. Despite losing much of his physical strength, his face is still strong.

Thawon is often dressed in expensive clothes in gold, red and black. His attire mixes plate and fine fabrics to create a noble and impressive armor. Beneath it, Thawon is carrying several scars of battle. The one that stands out the most is a deep cut across his chest, which he received during a duel to the death with his brother, Artelium Phoenixstrider. On his back, Thawon usually wears a sword passed down from house leader to house leader and which was originally owned by the founder - Eladriendel Phoenixstrider.
