Budd

Budd runs Budd's Barber Shop on the New South Bridge arcade in Shard.

Appearance

Budd the Barber is an Elothean with dark hair and eyes that are almost black. His long, slender, sensitive fingers handle scissors and razor with a deftness that he certainly hopes will become legendary. An aromatic and alcoholic scent of bay rum floats in his wake.
