| - As blood elves go Achates is a bit skinnier than normal, paler perhaps in a way that would suggest sickliness of the typical academic too-many-books-too-little-sun type. His hair is the usual pale blond, down midway to his back, usually kept in a loose ponytail, although it is not uncommon to see it falling out around his face. He can be seen wearing a small pair of brass oval glasses, although he takes them off every five seconds to polish them nervously. He also wears a simple necklace made of a soul shard strung on a leather cord, and fiddles with it nervously quite often.

| - As blood elves go Achates is a bit skinnier than normal, paler perhaps in a way that would suggest sickliness of the typical academic too-many-books-too-little-sun type. His hair is the usual pale blond, down midway to his back, usually kept in a loose ponytail, although it is not uncommon to see it falling out around his face. He can be seen wearing a small pair of brass oval glasses, although he takes them off every five seconds to polish them nervously. He also wears a simple necklace made of a soul shard strung on a leather cord, and fiddles with it nervously quite often. To see him smile, or at least smile without a trace of nervousness, is a rare thing indeed. Near-constantly he looks worried, panicked or somehow distressed; a few of the more unkind orcs have described him as having the look of a rabbit just pulled out of a hat. He often fusses over minor details of his appearance, buttoning and unbuttoning the cuffs on his robes, straightening his hair, polishing his glasses, not out of vanity but out of nervous compulsion. As such he usually comes off as a bit of a dandy (what male blood elves don't really?) but an incompetent one, as his senses of fashion, style, and color are lacking at best. He seems to constantly be fidgeting with his sleeves, pulling them down; the few times they do ride up it is obvious to see thick scars wrapping around his wrists and snaking up his arms and chest in a spiderweb-like pattern, obviously from some sort of arcane energy. When asked about them he usually refuses to answer point-blank, and if pressed often becomes somewhat hysterical, adamantly professing to be a 'good citizen'.
