Tod is encountered through the traces of a scholar’s attention: a name attached to histories, places, and the details others might overlook. The page gives no glimpse of his face, leaving his authority to rest in the breadth of what he observed and recorded.

Tod appears in the volume as a British historian and colonel whose writings serve as a reference for the narrator. His work is invoked on several occasions, including as a source for the reported scale of the great drums of Rájpútána. The book offers no personal arc or physical portrait beyond these scholarly traces.
Description
No physical features are specified for Tod. The text identifies him as an author and colonel but does not describe his height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, face, or particular clothing; any portrait should remain deliberately non-specific.
