Mendoza is identified as a Spanish author whose work Robert Parke translated. The book also invokes his writing about China, but offers no account of his personal life, appearance, or larger fate.
Description
No physical description of Mendoza is provided. His age is broadly adult, but his build, coloring, hair, eyes, facial features, clothing, and demeanor are not specified, so a faithful visual portrayal should avoid inventing them.
