King Ulrich von Kessel IV was a portly man of average height with a wiry beard and rather unremarkable features, artwork often exaggerates his appearance with a heroic barrel chest, a lush curly beard, and a regal countenance. Stately artwork shows him clad in a royal mantle wearing the Crown of Westemär. Those who knew the King in life remember him as a capable if overindulgent ruler who left most matters of state to his administrators.
