tall and lean, with a hoarse, smoky voice. He is clean-shaven, and his face is craggy and windburnt, his features lined and weathered. His once-auburn hair has gone to grey. He has bushy eyebrows and laughing eyes of deep blue. A kind man with the patience to listen, Brynden is also a blunt and stubborn man who does not care what others think. He is a seasoned warrior, a veteran of half a hundred battles, and precise in his movements. He is also a strong swimmer.
