Ellis looks to be in his late to mid 50s. He is a large man, weighing in at around 250 lbs and at least 6 feet in height. He has a very dark complexion, appears to be of African or Indian descent, with a thick, full beard tied up in several rows of black and white beads. He has dark brown, almost black eyes and long dreadlocks carried in a bright, deep-sea blue, knitted cap that hangs down the back of his head to his shoulders. He wears faded blue shop coveralls, filthy with old oil and smudges of dirt and paint and has on a pair of large, black steel-toe boots.
