I cannot get a "clear view" now, but I definitely pictured him something like short, also it could be said old man, definitely not with blonde hair and probably not even with black ones. He could have been even bald (though when I saw his picture on one I.C.E. card where he is really bald, I was quite startled). Normal skin-colour. Yup, but one of these short, old men with high voice, in movies they sometimes have glasses almost on the end of their nose and they work in libraries and similar. You know what kind of person I mean? Not that I would picture him being really an old man, but...
But I doubt he had beard. Definitely not. He couldn't.
