Thick Eyebrows

Paul has been described by one of the Church Fathers as having been a small, crooked balding man with thick eyebrows, a fierce glare and jaunty airs who walked with a pronounced limp.

He appeared to have lived his life, after conversion, for nothing besides what he had somehow come to believe in.
