Samuel Crook
Mid-twenties, smooth-faced and bright-eyed, with the freshness of youth still on him despite the roughness of sea travel. Lean and spare, narrow through the shoulders but upright and energetic — a young man's build. Skin: Fair but reddened and windburned, with a warm flush across the cheeks and nose from sun and salt air. Hair: Deep dark brown, nearly black, Short and tousled, windblown and slightly unkempt from days at sea. Face: Clean-shaved with a strong jaw, bright and eager dark eyes, a straight nose, and an open expression full of excitement — the face of someone on the edge of something new. His oversized coat is a defining detail — the cuffs fall slightly past his wrists, as though borrowed or bought for growing into; his hair is never quite settled, always lifted by the ocean breeze. Always in the SAME outfit every scene: Plain dark wool coat, slightly too large at the shoulders, hanging loose; dark trousers tucked into worn, scuffed brown leather boots with visible creasing at the ankle; simple white linen shirt visible at the collar.

Life stages
The same Samuel Crook 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.
