"hunting was his sport" he likes to kill animals. He was a manly man He worked in a monastery Owned small horses He never worried of things of the past Described as a modern man Hunts grey hounds Clothes were embellished Bald and shiny head Fat and happy Pale

"his head was bald and shone like looking glass, he was fat and personable priest, his prominent eyeballs never seemed to settle"
