Appearance and Demeanor
A black cloak shrouds this King. It is solid, impartial, and monolithic. As a man of deep thought and planning, he is deeply grounded. The sword he holds is plain and unadorned, driven and melding into the ground. In spite of a strong wind, he is firmly planted.
Impartiality and Emotion
The King of Swords is impartial and calculated. Though he prefers to avoid involving emotions, he is not heartless. A window to his chest shows a small, perfectly polished gold marble.
Symbols and Cautions
Symbols of the fruition of ideas, from infancy (larva) to completion (butterfly), butterflies manifest around him while his head is encircled by double-sided blades. Pointing both outwards and in, the potential for harming oneself is cautioned. Just because a decision is logical does not prevent it from having ill effects.
