He has thick grey hair. His hair reaches his shoulders, and he has a long, curly beard. He is taller than Jonah in Agent of the UNWD. He is seen wearing a blue police uniform.
=== Personality ===
He tries only sometimes, usually delegating important work to unknown strangers. He's well-known, luckily only within the force and his family, to be massively unobservant, complacent and sometimes lazy. How he's kept his position is a surprise. His heart is in the right place, though.

None of note. Not even organisational skills.

He is seen briefing a group of policemen on GoLD MasTAH's latest crime (a robbery at Platinum Vaults). He allows Jonah to take the mission alone. Later, he commends Jonah on his good work,who grants himself the nickname of the 'Man with the Golden Toenail'.
