warbreaker What do Pahn Kahl look like?

[Jimpy he/him]

Hi all! I'm formulating a theory and I want to know what concrete descriptions there are of Pahn Kahl and Tonk Fah (Aside from just being big, strong, and cheery) mentioned in Warbreaker. Crush my hopes and dreams of making a good theory!

This is all I could gather from a quick search of the wiki

Tonk Fah - "large of girth" which I assume means a big stomach/waistline. Might mean that he is a bit fat or that his body is just built a bit wider than others are.

Pahn Khal - different skin tone and facial features from the people of Hallandren. Also slightly shorter than the average Hallandren native.

Actually, maybe there is something to that wide waist comment. Vahr (another Pahn Khal) was described as a plump man, at least before wasting away in a prison cell.

That's already a help! Does it mention any specific eye, hair, or skin colors? Has Tonk Fah ever been mentioned to have a beard? I noticed a character that acts in a way that reminds me of him and I'm curious to see if there's anything we can identify him with.

Not that I am remember. However, Brandon has said that he would go into more detail about Pahn Khal culture in the Warbreaker Sequel
