Appearance
Body Features
Standing slightly taller than the average Halfling, Angus has a gangly physique, lacking any outward appearance of strength.
Facial Features
His face is youthful and radiates a childlike inquisitiveness, making it easy to think him an adolescent just short of adulthood rather than the young adult he is (in human terms: it makes him look 18 while he would be the equivalent of 20). A scrawn of brown curls graces his head, remaining untidy no matter how often he tries to comb it into shape, and his bright eyes, somewhere between green and brown in colour, sparkle with curiosity and intelligence.
Physical quirks
Angus's movements are unfailingly clumsy. He's all knees and elbows, and often makes a frantic impression with his movements, especially when he's in a panic or a stressful situation.
Apparel & Accessories
He hasn't worn a wizard's robe since he left Cadaemar finding it rather impractical in his adventuring life. Instead, he prefers to wear the practical clothes of a common middle class citizen (say a grocer), with outfits consisting of white shirts combined with a waistcoat, a pair of trousers and a coat or jacket, mostly in shades of blue or green, with a green traveller's cloak. His backpack is filled with a curious collection of books, including a collection of notebooks from Cadaemar that functions as his spellbook as well as a repository of interesting (though more often than not irrelevant at any moment he decides to share it) facts and information. The pockets of his clothes are likewise stuffed with a collection of little notebooks completing his disorganised collection. In combat and while travelling on foot, he bears a simple wooden quarterstaff which he refers to as his "trusty old stick".

Education

Employment
Some will tell you Angus is a professional troublemaker. He himself will tell you he is a travelling scholar, adventurer, and also a bit of a detective, and that trouble always finds him rather than the other way round.
