A smallish elderly human male with brown weather-beaten skin and sparse thin yellowish hair, a few wisps of which drift across his heavily creased and lined forehead. His face is deeply etched by age and experience, frequently set in tense worried frowns, frightened stares with glazed eyes and open mouth, or tired uncertain expressions. Despite his advanced years he retains surprising limb suppleness allowing flexible movements, and he is most commonly seen wearing a bulky spacesuit that emphasizes his toy-like small frame while aboard the ship or exploring hostile environments.
