It's also not much of a face--broad in the way most Astartes have, the left side mazed with scars that continue across his chin. He's not used to being looked at, so he is not entirely sure what to do with his eyes, trying to do anything but make eye contact, since he's been told that that, as well, is intimidating.

"I have fought for many decades, yes." And gotten the injuries to show. And the awards.
