Descartes is a giant man who stands 12 feelz (feet?) tall. He is burly and heavyset with short legs. His green hair styled in a mohawk. His earlobes are very long and both are pierced with a single hoop earring. His right arm is entirely mechanical. Large screws seemingly protrude from the sides of his head and left shoulder. | Descartes is a giant man who stands 12 feelz (feet?) tall. He is burly and heavyset with short legs.

Descartes has at least three boomerangs, which were presented to him on a cart. It is unclear if the cart belongs to Descartes or the Cavalry. His mechanical arm appears to be powered by a pneumeic system or some type of explosive, which is controlled with a handheld trigger, attached via a cable and held in his left hand. Very hot shells or casings are expelled upon using it. | Descartes has at least three boomerangs, which were presented to him on a cart. It is unclear if the cart belongs to Descartes or the Cavalry.
