Charles Albert Connelley
Late twenties at the start, moving into his mid-thirties; looks every year of his outdoor life — not old, but weathered in a dignified way; fine squint lines radiate from the outer corners of his eyes from years of working in bright desert sun. Lean and angular — tall with a wiry, hardworked frame; broad at the shoulder but not heavy; the build of a man who lifts stone and walks long distances daily. Skin: Deep sun-browned tan — darker across the forehead, nose, and the back of the neck; paler at the jaw and collar line where his hat and shirt provide shade. Hair: Medium warm brown with sun-lightened streaks of amber at the crown from long days outdoors, Short and slightly unkempt, pressed flat at the top from wearing his hat all day; a little longer at the ears and neck; no beard, but frequent light stubble across the jaw. Face: Kind hazel or grey-green eyes with a habitual slight squint; a long, straight nose; a composed, quiet mouth that breaks into a slow warm smile; sharp cheekbones; a jaw that carries a day or two of brown stubble more often than not. Hands are large, calloused, and capable — the hands of a man who works stone, wood, and soil; often seen with one hand resting on a fence post, a wagon wheel, or a tool handle; his hat is almost never off outdoors and leaves a faint tan line across his forehead; moves with unhurried, deliberate economy — no wasted motion. Always in the SAME outfit every scene: Dusty, well-worn canvas or denim work trousers in faded indigo or brown; wide leather suspenders over a collarless linen shirt in off-white or faded grey; wide-brimmed felt hat in tan or dusty brown, sweat-stained at the band; heavy leather boots caked at the sole with red Utah dirt.

Life stages
The same Charles Albert Connelley at every age they appear in the series. Draw a stage to age it from the canonical likeness, or pin a real photo to the stage it actually shows — even an old one — and the younger stages age down from it. Give each stage an outfit (clothes are era and station — a boy in England dresses nothing like a father in Utah) and every page at that age keeps it. Lock a stage once it's right so it's never redrawn. Each is generated once and reused across every book.
