A tall man, mightily shouldered and deep of chest, with a massive corded neck and heavily muscled limbs.

His brow was low and broad, his eyes a volcanic blue that smoldered as if with some inner fire. His dark, scarred, almost sinister face was that of a fighting-man, and his velvet garments could not conceal the hard, dangerous lines of his limbs.

Berand is darkly tanned, has "sullen" or "smoldering" blue eyes, a "mane" of long black hair, and is scarred.

So formidable was his appearance, naked but for short leather breeks and sleeveless shirt, open to reveal his great, sculpted chest, with his huge limbs and his blue eyes blazing under his tangled black mane.

He moved with the supple ease of a great tiger, his steely muscles rippling under his brown skin.
