How Stevenson describes him:
|
"He was a tall man, over six feet high, and broad in proportion,
and he had a bluff, rough-and-ready face, all roughened and reddened and
lined in his long travels. His eyebrows were very black and moved readily,
and this gave him a look of some temper, not bad, you would say, but quick
and high".

The role he plays in Treasure Island:
|
He funds the secret treasure hunt, but due to his big mouth he
lets the secret out, alerting Long John Silver and his pirate mates. Brave,
means well, but a little bit stupid - he is also hopeless at keeping secrets.
