He came of a race of hillmen, accustomed to scaling forbidding crags, and he was a man of unusual strength and agility. His only garment was a pair of red silk breeks, and his sandals were slung to his back, out of the way as were his sword and dagger.
The man was powerfully built and supple as a panther. His skin was bronzed by the sun, his square-cut black mane confined by a silver band about his temples. His iron muscles, quick eyes and sure feet served him well here, for it was a climb to test these qualities to the utmost.
From, "Jewels of Gwahlur"
