	Crow’s hair is raven-black, straight and long, extending beyond his shoulderblades and halfway down his back. He also sports a bushy black beard. Despite Crow’s death, his hair has retained its former, living beauty, bearing a healthy shine and lush thickness. Although both his hair and facial hair resist being cut and grow back to their original length every time such an attempt is made, they accept grooming and styling, such as brushing or tying them up. Their state is tangled and messy when the reader is introduced to Crow, but as soon as the Undead gains the means to care for them properly, he puts great effort into making them look good. Crow often remarks that his hair and beard are the only two things he actually likes about his current appearance.

Crow often remarks that his hair and beard are the only two things he actually likes about his current appearance.

			Due to the precarity of his circumstances at the beginning of the story, Crow has little choice when it comes to clothing. He owns only a single set, consisting of a rather ragged shirt, trousers and a long coat, as well as a tattered black scarf. The scarf is by far Crow’s most prized possession. He wears it drawn high over his face at all times, attempting to conceal his undeath from the world as much as possible. As the story progresses and Crow’s satchel fills, the clothes he chooses for himself are consistently black and slightly old-fashioned in their cuts and patterns.

	Crow of Khaede is one of the three protagonists of ''Forlorn Saga'' and the central figure of its first installment. He is a sentient [[Undead]]—a man who has returned from death, whole in both body and spirit, yet retaining no memory of his former life.

There, living in poverty and subject to extortion by the local innkeeper [[Tedrick]], he attempts to make a home for himself. His undeath is a source of constant anxiety: in several previous settlements, the discovery of his nature led locals armed with pitchforks and torches to drive him away.
