I was just giving some example items that I would have built him with. the headband could easily be 'ear ring of intelect' or 'shiny robes of intelect'. The Silent spell comment makes sense though. Will edit it in!

The Old man is an ancient Elan Pyrokinteicist. He has a number of powers and abilities he could be using in the picture above.
In the first instance, he is using his Ability of Conflagration, which deals 15d6 fire damage to all within a 30' radius of him. Reflex for half, save is equal to 15+ his Charisma modifier.
In the second instance, he is sinking Power points into Energy Current (fire focus), and Empowering/Maximizing/Twinning the power. This creates a big boom of flame.
Even barring the two instances given, there are numerous ways for this old man to turn you into charcoal.
Did someone say brute force?
Okay, so you may be thinking 'But Reemos! Why a maul? Why increase hit Int for 2 levels instead of Str? Why not Barbarian?' Okay, okay, chill out, jeesh. *crosses her arms*
First of all, all we see is a still frame of him walking, so we don't even know his fighting style. So, I went with fighter, plus he doesn't look like the beserker type too me. Second of all, I increased his Int so he can qualify for Combat Expertise so he can qualify for Kensai. Third, I went with maul to complement the monkey grip feat, use a maul sized for a large sized creature (making it a 2d6 weapon rather than a 1d12 weapon) and there you go with the large weapon held in his left hand. Warforged is the obvious choice.
Exotic weapon master gives other things to do, such as augmenting the sunder weapon attempts, stunning hit opponents and doing trip attempts. Kensai was another semi-obvious choice because rather than having to pay cash for improving the maul, he just has to pay exp.
