The armor extends over his feet. Over the chainmail he wears a short sleeveless tunic in blue with three gold wolves on his chest. He wears a gold and red belt with a dark scabbard. His chainmail extends over his head and he wears a low helmet. He stands with one arm down to the side holding his sword up toward his other hand, which rests on the point.
