Character Study: Neil Abram Josten

Neil has extensive scars on his torso: a looping scar curving down the base of his throat over his collarbone; a pucker with jagged edges from a bullet wound a finger-width away; a shapeless patch of pale skin from his left shoulder to his navel; faded scars criss-crossing here and there; larger overlapping lines across his abdomen from his father’s knives; the shape of half a hot iron on his right shoulder.
