A tawny wood aspect, Belak is a youthful looking survivor of disastrous Nellen's play for the throne 15 years ago. He wears his 120 years lightly – appearing not much older than a patrician of 30 or 35 years – with a quick smile and piercing yellow eyes. A graduate of the Heptagram, he is an experienced sorcerer and comfortable with his daiklaive.
