Physical Description
General Physical Condition
On the shorter side, thin and athletic
Identifying Characteristics
As a draconic bloodline sorcerer, his skin is speckled with patches of thin, dragon-like scales. He prefers to keep them covered and tends to only wear long pants and shirts for this purpose. He also has numerous scars from his many battles, also hidden by clothing.
His face is speckled with goldish-yellow freckles and he has a couple of visible scars, one under his left eye and the other covering his right eye, from his cheek to his forehead.
He also has weird, pointy shark teeth.
Apparel & Accessories
Zellias prefers to dress in reds and black, and is very fond of his stupid red coat. He doesn't wear a lot of jewelry, but when he does it tends to be gold.

Personal history
When Zellias was a wee lad (like, a hundred, not THAT wee), he was rescued by some pirates from some bandits who had taken him hostage with the intention of holding him for ransom or something. His family had refused to pay the ransom, so the kidnappers were just going to kill him anyway because he was pretty much useless at that point. The pirates had just happened to choose the bandit's ship for some good old fashioned pillaging, but rather than space gold and riches they found some bandits getting ready to murder some dumb little elf. The pirates decided to save him just to spite the bandits for not having space gold. It's fine.
To repay the pirates for the rescue, Zellias asked if he could stay with them and learn how to do pirate stuff. Since he was a babby sorcerer learning how to murder with fire, the captain, a dwarf by the name of Ballrig Arland, decided that he could totally be useful and agreed to bring him along. Over the decades the two became close and Zellias came to see Ballrig as a cool big brother, even going so far as adopting his surname since his own family is kind of shit.
Zellias wasted no time making a name for himself in the galaxy, raising in the pirate ranks and pissing off the Adamantine Authority every chance he got, for shits and giggles. Escaping from Event Horizons is less about simply escaping for him and more about proving to the galaxy that nobody fucks around with Zellias Vance-Arland.
