At 5'6" and 165 pounds, Hamilton "Ham" Hawkes is a stocky bull of a man might also  be described as short, round, and balding. Hawkes keeps what is left of his hair neat, Quite a hirsute fellow, he has been known to grow a beard in a matter of days. Hawkes, an Englishman, was born in London and despite years of higher education and years living abroad slips into a heavy Cockney accent when his temper is up or while drinking.
