Try as he might to ignore or avoid his wolf blood, it leaks its way into Nazario's outward appearance in all of his composition. His ears are slightly smaller than to be expected, he is larger than average, his body is broad and built, and his overcoat is dense and wiry - all markers of his muddled bloodline. There is, however, the stereotypical sharpness and accents of his coyote blood that is undeniable in his appearance, and makes up his predominant shape.

As he as aged, the sharp-cut lines of muscle and telltale signs of hardship have slowly begun to soften. While still muscled in the way that laborer's are, weight has begun to cling to his middle, the cape of his pelt has grown gradually more salt-and-peppered than in his early adulthood, and a few silver hairs have began to intersperse his muzzle.

• Horsemanship (Master)

Starting from a rather formative age, Nazario expressed an interest in horsemanship and husbandry thanks to the influence of mentor and adoptive mother figure Vicira Tears. He learned to ride soon after the Salsola-Inferni War, atop a horse named Red, and fell in love with the almost therapeutic experience immediately. After Inferni's dissolution, Nazario took care to turn the remaining Infernian horses loose after providing rites with ash, and inherited Vicira's yearling, Riselka. While too young to ride, Nazario went through the learning experience of training her up as his first horse himself, and while he made a litany of mistakes, he has since learned improvements and founded Del Cenere's Polvo de Oro breeding and training project.

• Fire Dancing (Master)

The art of fire, and its worship, was instilled in Nazario from the beginning by mentor Diego del Bosque. He learned the appreciation of flames, and soon after shifting, came into the possession of poi, which he has since kept. While mostly a recreational activity, Nazario utilizes fire dancing as a means to reconnect with his roots and his tenuous connection to Ceniza Valley and the faith therein, and he has begun relaying much of the same importance of this connection to his daughter, Calliandra.

• Trickery (Journeyman)

While a somewhat underutilized skill, Nazario has utilized sleight of hand in his past, alongside acts of deception and trickery, both for personal enjoyment and against strangers for his benefit. While not immediately apparent, he actually enjoys pranks and japery, though finds it "immature", and thus, doesn't engage in it much now that he has matured. However, because of his experience, he knows how to recognize opportunists when he sees them, and will regularly attempt to test himself in either outwitting them, or making their own acts of deception more difficult.

• Literacy and Penmanship (Journeyman)

Once considered a rather useless skill, Nazario has long since honed his own ability to read and write out of necessity, and out of the urge of paranoia. He regularly utilizes his skills in basic arithmetic and writing in order to keep track of pack stores, as well as to write missives between Del Cenere and Palisade. He has only recently had the thought to write down tales and historical events, if only for his own recordkeeping for reference to return to.

• Fishing and Trapping (Apprentice)

Whether by net, or by rod or other method, Nazario has made attempts to learn providing in more low-effort manners via setting traps or otherwise capturing prey than going through the involved process of hunting. His trap-making skills are not particularly honed - he learned basic weaving of reeds for fish traps from Morrigan, but her reaction to his skill told him that his ability left much to be desired. Regardless, he enjoys these things as a hobby with the bonus that it helps to provide for others.

• Combat (Apprentice)

While in possession of a halberd polearm, and he has some skill with the weapon, Nazario lacks any formal training in combat itself. His ability to fight is purely instinctive and opportunistic, worsened by his insecurity due to the lack of depth perception thanks to his missing eye. However, he does find interest in fighting, and learning to better his skill, as he is concerned over his own vulnerabilities.

• Farming (Apprentice)

He is no aficionado, no skilled man around the till, and certainly not as gifted as his brother, Boone. However, he can provide basic care for crops and cultivated crops, and can spot recognizable herbs and curatives - most of his farming skill and ability to cultivate, however, revolves around fodder and its harvest for livestock.

While he can scarcely remember details about her these days, Vicira Tears inexplicably changed Nazario in numerous, irreparable ways. Every ounce of him, every piece of him, are all residual remnants of her making; While he has grown into a man all his own, shadows and ghosts of the Aquila's influence yet remain.

Merari Tears and Boone Winthrop each hold special places in Nazario's psyche. While, when young, he was worried that they would not like him, and perhaps even held the smallest bit of jealousy once they had come along, he readily accepted the role of an overbearing sibling. While both his brother and sister diverted along their paths and the trio of them drifted apart, he now has grown to respect them as their own individuals.

His relationship to the adoptive father figure, Andrew Winthrop has gone through many a metamorphosis; Once incredibly dependent, and close, his vanishing, and the subsequent trust and authority that Andrew gave him over his younger siblings forced a mentality in which Nazario felt the need to provide in his longtime absentee father's stead. When he re-emerged once more, with a new family in tow (with the woman who defended herself and took his eye in recompense, no less), it severely shifted the dynamic of their relationship.

He loves each of his children in equal measure - however - he, while unintentionally, does treat each of them differently. Bishop del Bosque and Catalina del Bosque are each delicate, and treated as such. His patience for the two of them is boundless - with their more laid-back mannerisms, he affords them much more wiggle room. In contrast, Mesquite del Bosque is a wild card. Nazario is unsure of how to approach dealing with his son, and as such is guarded, and he worries over the influence Calliandra Braithwaite may have on him especially. His approach to Calliandra, of course, is a bit more stringent than his other children, and she, in turn, contests him and presses boundaries he sets.

Peony Braithwaite has proven an undeniable asset. While she calls upon his motives, and pushes Nazario for answers, he trusts her judgement; however, it would seem her own biases bleed into her conduct and drive questionable actions of her own. Even so - he does not push her in the same way that she may him; His is a philosophy over learning through consequence, and he believes the upheaval and contention Peony brings with her will sort itself out, one way or another.

Nazario knows he can rely on Alonso de los Santos for his polite, yet surprisingly unbiased relaying of information. Alonso is more than happy to help, and his easy-going nature makes him something of an inspiring friend; in equal measure, of course, having a set of eyes and ears to help aid him when it comes to keeping an eye on operations within Charmingtown is immensely valuable.

Briarblack is one of his closest confidants; While she seems to regard him almost as one would a rambunctious younger sibling, he takes little issue with this as many of their behaviors when it comes to causality are the same. She does not question him, and nor does he question her. Theirs is a balance of mutual respect, tinged with rather juvenile teasing that cuts through each of their protective layers of caginess.

O'Riley Eternity haunts Nazario. They share a blatant animosity towards one another; and while Nazario surely does not share the same space in the Erilaz's mind as the outsider does in the Rey Salvaje's, old blood still hasn't had the chance to dry. In fact, it would seem as though O'Riley delights in how quickly and easily he can work and worm his way beneath Rio's skin.

While only scarcely known, Birch Kaid strikes a chord within Nazario, strumming something of tentative curiosity and interest in whatever it is the unaffiliated hunter does. While she only ever seems to appear during the Lancaster Stockshow, her skills in horsemanship compel him to keep an eye on her.
