what, he's got a stutter? he's still a tall, muscle-bound man with a neck as wide as my thighs and that is obvious even beneath the long, dark cape he took as a trophy from a powerful warlord he defeated and killed in battle

he's a martial artist who uses the same style as the man who wrecked much of olathe in his quest to find his daughter, *and* he's taught that style to presumably a decent number of people, so he's also a good teacher

his entire face also bears the scars of his mutilation underneath that red skull mask, so you have that staring right at you wearing a sorrowful expression that people don't usually make in the middle of a fight which is a recipe that basically screams "forgive me master, i must go all out"

but no, rando stutters, so that must mean he's a little baby, let's get him lads

if anything that should add to his intimidation factor not take away from it, hell, in a different context it could be something that allows him to make friends really easily too
