Icarium

'Icarium, the Jhag by that name. The maker of machines, the chaser of time -'...'Aye, lord of the sand grains...'(DG, UK MMPB, p.342)

'A Jaghut-blood wanderer around whom swirled, like the blackest wake, rumours of devastation, appalling murders, genocide...The Icarium he (Fiddler) was coing to know made those rumours seem ludicrous. The Jhag was generous, compassionate...This Icarium was too wise, too scarred, to tumble into power's river of blood.'(DG, UK MMPB, p.456)

Fiddler's POV: 'Hide-bound legs...an extraordinarily tall man, lean, wearing a faded Tano telaba. His skin was somewhere between grey and green, and he held in his long-fingered hands a recurved bow and a rune-wrapped arrow nocked and ready. His long, grey hair showed remnants of black dye, making his mane appear spotted ... ragged tips of tusks bulging the line of his thin lower lip. A Jhag. Didn't know they travelled this far east.'(DG, UK MMPB, p.301-2)

'His slitted grey eyes...'(DG, UK MMPB, p.347)

Mappo suggests that Icarium is approx. 7 feet tall (DG, UK MMPB, p.42)

'For all his years, Icarium has never mastered the social grace necessary to put others at ease.'(DG, UK MMPB, p.342)

Icarium seems to have a kind of darkvision, neither he or Mappo having 'much need for artificial light, the darkness...offering no obstacle.' (DG, UK MMPB, p.172) Whether or not this is a racial trait is a separate question, though it seems likely.

Icarium admits that he is obsessed with time and builds mechanisms to mark its passage (DG, UK MMPB, p.150)
