Appearance/Physical Attributes

Haliax is described as "a man wrapped in shadow." He is almost entirely covered by shadow or darkness, especially his face. He wears a deep black cowl, underneath which no face can be seen. He is described by Kvothe to have a "cool voice" and a "patient tone", and his dialogue lines in The Name of the Wind are always italicized. In The Wise Man's Fear Alaxel, one of Haliax's known aliases, is said to "bear the shadow's hame." In this context, the 'shadow's hame' most likely means a collar of shadow around Haliax's neck. This imagery is likely a reference to the shadows that envelop him.
