He embodied the characteristics of his House to a high degree: shrewd, cunning, cruel and greedy; a glutton (he died ~180 kg) by 10191 AG he would have been too fat to move without borne by suspensors placed about his body. He was also a voracious pederast, sleeping with lithe bedmates from his slaves. But power was his greatest appetite. At his youth he was stocky of build but well-knit, darkly handsome with a full, round face, and charming in an earthy way. His baritone singing voice was notable for its strength, range, and suppleness.
