Standing near seven-an-a-half feet tall and carrying a massively strong frame, Jay towers above most people he meets, whether human or Uratha. When in Hishu form he dresses in simple black jeans with a t-shirt pulled tight over his enormous chest and an ankle-length leather coat that would serve as a tent in most circles. The only adornment he carries is a braid of chains that connect from his wallet, kept in a back pocket, to the belt loops at the front of his jeans.
In his quadrupedal forms, Jay is a hulking grey beast with streaks of grey and black shooting through the fur. In human form, his eyes are a cool blue and his hair long and black, while in all his other forms his eyes become a sickly yellow bright with malevolence.
Jay is always accompanied by a nearly equally huge Caucasian Shepherd dog named Yuka. The beast appears slow and friendly but can move at astonishing speed when needed, and almost as often with a wiry mongrel named Wraith. From time-to-time he can also be seen with a smaller white wolf bearing a blood-red muzzle, but these times are rare indeed.
