He was long-headed, with a high and intellectual forehead, straight nose, and massive lower jaw.

His limbs were well-proportioned and muscular, his feet and hands were small.

He belonged to the white race, but his hair and eyes were black, the hair being also straight.

His artistic and intellectual faculties were highly developed, he was singularly good-tempered and light-hearted, averse to cruelty, though subject at times to fits of fanatical excitement and ferocity.

At once obstinate and industrious, he never failed to carry out what he had once taken in hand.
