Alan is tall but somewhat narrow-shouldered, and is beginning to show excess weight. A combination of hard living, hard drinking, and accumulated injuries make him appear older than he is, an effect enhanced by his ill-kempt, short hair and scraggly goatee. Alan's left eye is mostly blind, capable of discerning only shades of light and dark and movement, and has a milky, dead appearance. His remaining eye is a sharp blue; he is difficult to look in the eye. Alan sports various scars and healed wounds from his years as a 'man-for-hire,' including a brand under his left arm, over his heart.

Alan has a blunt personality and is mistrustful. He dislikes being indebted to anyone and will go out of his way to "even the scores" to his own satisfaction. Alan is something of a coward and a drifter, and wanders without committing himself to any particular cause or goal. He generally concerns himself with practical matters - eating, drinking, sleeping, fucking - rather than metaphysical or ethical ones. He is uncomfortable around others, which sometimes leads him to be coarse, awkward, or rude.
