Owner of Korvosa’s most respected and renowned school of fencing and swordplay, Orisini Academy. Vencarlo is a charming, elder gentleman with a sharp, keenly curious mind and a wise guiding hand close to the pulse of Korvosa.

He is a tall man of advanced years, yet he has a twinkle in his eye and a bounce to his step that hints at the inner fire of a man under half his age. He wears his silver-white hair pulled back and tied with a bravo’s knot. His eyes are a cast of deep green like the ocean after a storm. He is of old Chelish blood, and it shows. Orisini wears black leather gloves to ensure his touch doesn’t rust the pommel of his shining rapier. He is missing two fingers from his right hand, and while he rarely acknowledges or speaks about it his students who were their that day speak of their loss at the end of Sabina Merrin blade.
