Appearance: Max de la Rey is a massive, tall and well built man. He is dressed in a soft grey robe, with white trousers. His head is covered with a blue piece of material called 'burnuz''. When he`s on the road, he covers his face and lets only his eyes to be seen. A habit he had since his childhood in the Ze`er desert. Under his clothes, a well`trained ear would have heard the sound made by steel scales rubbing on eachother.

Personality: ...pretty much unstable. He is either cold, or passionate. He might be either shy, impulsive or rude and straightforward in different situations, but knows the value of friendship, honor, courage. Maximiljen de la Rey lived half of his life in the woodlands, with few people around him, while the other half was spent either on the run or as a soldier in the Free Companies. He has his share of sins (maybe a longer list than the average men have) and is quite familiar with looting, rape and murder. Regardless of his background, Rhah has changed in many ways since he found shelter inside this world. He enjoys speaking in metaphors. Sometimes, he remembers the glorious moments of his youth. Then he can be annoying. He regards all strangers in the same way: with indifference. He`s a loner, but if one manages to approach him, he becomes well communicative. He feels uncomfortable in large groups of people and in cities. He feels at home in forests but longs for the open spaces of the desert.
