He looks stern and majestic. His thick, dark hair falls slightly over his face, lending a stern air. His right eye is hidden by a black eye patch emblazoned with a double-headed eagle, and beneath his open eye, subtle shadows are visible, as if traces of fatigue and sleepless nights. His gaze is cold and commanding.

He wears a dark blue ceremonial military uniform with a bright red patch on the chest, buttoned all the way to the collar. On his shoulders are wide gold epaulettes with decorative tassels, from which aiguillettes extend to the buttons. A burgundy cloak is often draped over his shoulder, emphasizing the majesty and severity of his figure. Dark trousers with a red stripe along the seam complete the look, along with simple black shoes.

Reserved and distrustful, he is always serious and rarely indulges in genuine entertainment—and, consequently, is incapable of entertaining others. His subtle sense of humor emerges only in rare moments of good humor, and few can understand it.

He is extremely conservative, strict, and at times despotic, but also fair. He is devout and pious, abhors lies, and despises betrayal and dissent. He always acts according to his own will and principles. He is hardworking and capable of accomplishing many tasks with his own hands, possessing an excellent understanding of engineering, architecture, and art.
