Tytos is a thin and tall man, though not as tall as his sixteen-year-old son, Hoster, who is seven feet tall. He has a close-cropped salt-and-pepper beard, a hook nose, and long hair. Lord Blackwood appreciates honor and chivalry. Tytos has a feud with Lord Jonos Bracken. Tytos owns bright yellow armor inlaid with jet in elaborate vine-and-leaf patterns. Another armor set he possesses is burnished scarlet, featuring in silver inlay the dead weirwood tree of Raventree Hall.
