Description of Laurent Zai (Captain):

Lanky; tall and thin, and somewhat elegant. Lost both legs and his left arm in torture, withdrawn and reserved through the trauma. It also makes him walk in a somewhat unique looking way. The book is somewhat conflicting about his ethnicity; while him being described as "dark" suggests he is black, it could also mean other things, and his last name could suggest he is east asian too.
