In appearance, Huinen (when not disguised, as he almost invariably is when he leaves his home) is a tall, slender man, 6'10" in height, weighing 200 pounds. The typical Noldo black hair is in this case very curly, and shot with streaks of white; he wears it short in an unkempt mop. He has a long face with large hazel eyes which are sometimes emerald, sometimes deep brown, depending on the light; a small nose above a mouth which usually hangs open.
    The overall impression, when one is given the rare opportunity to meet Huinen, is that he is either very stupid or mentally incomplete ("not eating with both hands," as the Hobbits say). His voice is very low, and he speaks with a stutter (the fact that this is a deliberate affectation is a secret he shares with no one), further adding to the overall appearance of total ineptitude. He has been known to drool. On the other hand, when playing a role, Huinen can be the epitome of the truly regal Elven lord, or any other guise, which he may choose. Huinen does not confide completely in anyone. If there is another person he trusts at all, it is Ringlin, his protege. He would trust Arien but suspects her real loyalty may be elsewhere.
    The Seer's attitude toward "guests" varies, and could be considered truly random. Uninvited intruders in the house are not often treated with great kindness. Usually all memory of the location of Ceber Faunin is removed from their mind, and they are-left in the forest far away.
    On the other hand, Huinen is always scanning the surrounding wood, and members of his household guard are always out patrolling. Travellers who are (truly) in trouble are frequently taken in and aided, then helped on their way—far away. Huinen values his home's secret location very highly.
