Robust enough, albeit feeling his years.

His training in what is known as the stone skin ability affords him a degree of toughness usually only seen in the fiercest front line warriors.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Life is a journey between disciplined teaching and punitive breaking down of spirit. That is the Erayax way.
Rask was born into this and even as a child it was noted that he would thrive - his family boasted that he had already developed ruthlessness at an early age.
His career into spying began very discreetly when he was no older than fifteen summers.
Education
Rask's warrior father enlisted him into the Powderscarred school at the age of 8. This is where he did the majority of his "growing up".
When most are thinking about their plans for leaving training he had been in the field and active for a few years already.
Employment
An array of positions within the Erayax military-espionage complex.
Long term member of Erayax "secret" society - the one openly talked about broadly across the Erayax communities, yet there is no evidence of their existence and nobody works for them...
Other notables work for the same non existent group.

After almost a lifetime of small, behind the scenes deceptive interferences, he is most proud of either being responsible for or a part of;
Instigator behind assassination attempt on King Allard
Taking part in and inflaming civil unrest around choosing of a new King
Capture of Sartina
Capture of two faction emissaries of some import.
Failures & Embarrassments
The failed assassination attempt had been a potential embarrassment in that Allard survived, hit was acknowledged, generously he acknowledged, by his superiors that it had removed the rest of the Royal family and broken their line of succession. Whilst he received no commendation for the plot - he was not punished for its incomplete outcome.
Intellectual Characteristics
Ruthless, cunning and far shrewder than he lets on.
Morality & Philosophy
The survivor lives is his single main morality.

Motivation
Maintain a secure place in the Erayax hierarchy of life.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Good shot, very good at becoming other characters. A long-time plant in the factions of Ashnoor.
He lacks much in the way of diplomacy or political savvy, consequently he has problem risen as far as he will in the Erayax hierarchy. In fairness, that's quite a way from his beginnings.
Likes & Dislikes
Rask enjoys swimming, he is very much at home in the water.
He likes good food, the southern wines are favourable.
