A native of the southern marches of the Cimmerian territories, Martikus is not as tall or muscular as his northern clansmen. At 45 years old, he is considered somewhat of en elder amongst his fellow Cimmerians, due to the relatively short lifespans of those northern folk. The years have worn on his body, causing him to lack for physical strength, but his soul and mind remain as strong as ever, and his healing abilities remain potent. His brown hair cascades down his head and neck, to meet with his long, curled beard. His eyes, a dull mixture of blue and grey, peek out from behind the woad of the bear, a symbolic facepaint worn by the shaman of the south.
