Although Brynden carried the Valyrian steel longsword Dark Sister and was a good swordsman, he was an expert bowman who preferred to use his tall weirwood longbow.

He wore his white hair straight and to his shoulders, with the front brushed forward to cover his missing eye. īrynden lost an eye during the First Blackfyre Rebellion and rarely covered the empty socket with a patch, preferring to display his scar and empty socket to the world. Because his skin was sensitive to light, he usually went about cloaked and hooded. For instance, one of his outfits included a scarlet tunic with black boots and a smoke-colored cloak. He typically wore the colors of scarlet and smoke, a dark grey mottled and streaked with black. A shade under six feet tall, Brynden was thin and gaunt with a grim forbidding aspect with sharp, vaguely sinister features.

Brynden was not as tall or muscular as his half brothers, Daemon and Aegor, but he was considered more cunning.
