Description
The text does not describe Dorville’s physical appearance. It identifies him as a Jesuit missionary but gives no details of his age, height, build, skin tone, hair, eyes, facial features, or distinguishing marks. His clothing is not specified, so even his clerical appearance should not be rendered more precisely than the role allows.
