Reverend Hans Herr , also known as the Bishop Hans Herr , is described as " of medium height , with long grey hair curled under at the ends and parted in the middle , ... Heavy brows , dark hazel eyes , aquiline nose , mouth rather small with heavy lips , complexion florid , with full beard covering the face , the whole lighted by a countenance in which sweetness and austerity were gracefully blended .

Clad in the coarsest homespun , his feet shod with wood , he at last arrived in the faroff land in which some strange prophecy told him he and his People would be prosperous and happy, however poor when arriving.
