A large, round-faced man with a noticeable paunch that suggests he was once powerfully built. His head is mostly bald, with only a close-cropped fringe of black hair remaining around the sides.

Dultatis is introduced in The Will of the Many as a physically imposing yet aging figure whose stern, perpetually displeased demeanor marks him as an authority within the Hierarchy. Across the series, his role expands from a background enforcer of order into a pivotal political actor whose decisions shape the fates of major protagonists. His evolution reflects the broader decay of the Hierarchy itself: once a symbol of rigid control, he becomes both a catalyst for rebellion and a tragic casualty of the very system he upheld.
