I've always thought he was a younger lord, maybe even Elena young, but I recently ran across this picture again (the top picture), and it had me wondering... How does everyone else see him?
(Sorry if this has been covered already, but I tried a search and got nothing)
What does High Lord Kevin look like?

What does High Lord Kevin look like?
Covenant turned in time to see a short figure detach itself from the burning mud, step queasily onto the hard ground.
The figure was scarcely taller than the skest, and shaped like them, a misborn child without eyes or any other features. But it was made of mud. Flames flickered over it as it climbed from the fire, then died away, leaving a dull brown creature like a sculpture poorly wrought in clay. Reddish pockets embedded in its form glowed dully.

Cant be certain but I imagine he looked like this when he found out Foul was not going to die from the ROD.
He would actually be much older because it says that High Lord Kevin Lived decades as normal men lived years. something along that line implying that Kevin was anywhere from 200-1000 years old... it never mentioned how old he was when he died or how old he looked..its a good question.

For some odd reason, I always liked to picture him clean-shaven.

And just because he lived to be somwhere between 100-200 yrs old doesn't mean he AGED in the same fashion as those currently in the Land. Covenant aged differently.

true..he could have looked as young as Mhoram did when he was 40 when kevin was 400., the earthpower preserved the old lords for a longer period than the new... apparently oath of peace was taking 600 years off the new lords lives...

I also looked a little like Cary Elwes before both he and I got old. Coincidence? I think so.Shuram Gudatetris wrote:I always pictured him as a younger looking Lord, too. Believe it or not, I picture him as Cary Elwes, as seen in The Princess Bride or Robin Hood: MIT.
I tend to picture Kevin behind the wheel of a Nissan Landwaster.
Do you think I like being this dangerous?
Yeah, but did you also enact a Ritual of Desicration before you got old, like Car... Kevin did?Landwaster wrote:I also looked a little like Cary Elwes before both he and I got old. Coincidence?

For me, High Lord Kevin has always been a larger than life figure. A huge man, full of both power and sadness, knowledge and pain - but with a capacity for compassion beyond any others, before or after. All this would be visible in his craggy bearded face and would be enough to inspire both awe and love even in hearts as steely as those of the haruchai. 
The truth is a Lion and does not need protection. Once free it will look after itself.

'Have we not served you well'
'Of course - you know you have.'
'Then let it end.'
