Archbishop of Canterbury

A tall, elderly man with a gaunt face and deep-set eyes that convey both wisdom and solemnity. His white hair is thin, combed back neatly, and his hands are slightly gnarled from age, yet steady for the sacred rites. He carries himself with the quiet authority of a man accustomed to divine service.
