Here is the fearsome and enigmatic, Judge Holden from Cormac McCarthy's Bood Meridian:

"An enormous man dressed in an oilcloth slicker had entered the tent and removed his hat…He was bald as a stone and he had no trace of beard and he had no brows to his eyes nor lashes to them…He was close on to seven feet in height… His face was serene and strangely childlike…His hands were small."
