Lord Kenarbin cut a splendid figure as he stepped out onto the dock, and knew it. He was tall
and trim, strikingly handsome, with medium-length silver hair curling over the tops of his
ears and piercing blue eyes that commanded the attention of all who fell under their gaze. His
strong, slightly bony nose suggested Hazar blood, while his smooth, swarthy complexion
implied a complex genetic heritage. In his ninety-seventh year, he looked as virile and
vigorous as a man half his chronological age.

Kenarbin carried himself with a diplomatтАЩs aplomb and a drill sergeantтАЩs precision. His
shiny black knee boots, formfitting white breeches, and gold-trimmed deep blue tunic were
accented by the diagonal red sash draped across his torso, signifying his Imperial mandate. His
features automatically assumed a familiar, well-practiced mien of amiable determination and
boundless self-confidence. He paused and stared into the mid distance for a few moments in
order to let the swarm of media imagers record his arrival.
