His intensity of purpose and fiery energy expressed themselves
in his features and form. 'His face was round, his brow square,
ample,' and deeply furrowed: 'the temples projected much beyond
the ears'; his eyes were 'small rather than large,' of a dark
(some said horn) color and peered, piercingly, from under heavy
brows. The flattened nose was the result of a blow from a rival
apprentice. He evidently looked the part, though for such
mental powers one of his colossal statues would seem a more
fitting mold.
