Steristi

 is a character in Torment: Tides of Numenera.

Background
Nearly every inch of this merchant's body is covered in tightly-wound robes and furs. A hood obscures its head, and a mask conceals its face. It caresses a cracked, ancient scroll with dark fingers. The merchant's spread-fingered hands glide over a faded parchment with the faint sounds of quills scratching. Vibrant letters in an unfamiliar tongue appear in their wake.

Steristi is the silent partner of Falinda. Falinda and Steristi are in love, and have been for many, many years. Falinda has never heard Steristi's voice.
