As constable-general, Brettin stands at the head of the constabulary in his octant, a formal figure in brown uniform and domelike hat. His stiff posture and monotone manner suggest a man more at ease with procedure than easeful conversation. The book offers little about his private life, leaving him defined chiefly by his office and official bearing.
Description
Brettin has a lean face and a stiff-backed posture. He wears a brown constable's uniform, topped by a distinctive domelike hat, which he is also seen carrying under his arm. His manner is formal and reserved, with a monotone voice and awkward nods; no hair, eye, or other facial details are specified.
