WHAT does Kasper Hauser look like?

Yeah, could resist :(

 

Aaanyway, in the novel Prospero Burns, what does Kasper Hauser look like exactly once he's been living with the Vlka Fenryka for a year?

 

I remember he has long hair and a beard. There's also mention of him wearing a black bodyglove (the default Abnett attire) earlier in the book, plus a ruddy brown pelt given to him by one of the Space Wolves.

 

But what colour is Kasper's hair and does he actually have more on him than just a pelt and a black bodyglove?

 

I'm thinking of making a model for the Tempus Fugitives heresy era campaign to accompany my army.

I believe he was mentioned as having black hair. The most vivid imagery of him for me was when he tossed his hair back out of his face to show the Imperial Army officer his eye. If I were modeling/painting him, I would try to allude to that moment with the eye and hair if possible. (and don't forget that the theme of ocular imagery and marks of aversion in Prospero Burns was at its most vivid and evident in the character of the skjald himself)

Well, you know one of his eyes is augmentic with a yellow and black eye!

And he'd be pretty built/athletic, as he was 'remade'

 

He has leather on top of his body glove...I'd imagine it'd be a tight combat kind of fit, as they are a warrior culture and they have engravings on it...it would seem to make more sense.

I kind of get a pagan/nordic image behind the carvings. (Hawser even mentions the paganistic quality of the wolves)

 

Of course you can skip his actual facial features and model his mask of averison....which is pretty detailed in its description

 

and as previously stated he has long hair and a beard....which despite being 'youthfull' again, I would paint grey.....he has spent a long time with the wolves since being remade...

ermm *finds pages*

 

page 397-398

 

mask has stylised antlers of a bull saeneyti spreading out from the bridge of the nose to form the brow ridges

 

stained black - like the rest of his leather work

 

has a circumpunct (mark of aversion) on the forehead (which is an eye)

the mouth area is snarling

 

 

and yeah your right narf its the eye of an adult wolf.

they probably vat grow them...
