Can I see a sample monster? A sample NPC?

I'm curious about what these things look like in Burning Wheel and how long they take to whip up.

I'll oblige with an NPC burned up for my Tarshish campaign.  He probably took me about 30-45 minutes, but I am inexperienced and have to look up skills and traits a lot.
