I don't usually form specific visual impressions of characters, so all I've got is a few generalities: He's large, which is not just tall but also broad. He isn't young -- he's lived long enough to have been around the block a few times -- but he's not old enough to have started slowing down, neither. I get the impression that he's not exactly handsome. Not ugly, but -- well, you know? If it turned out he had a nose that had been bent out of shape in a past excitement, or something along those lines, it would not be inconsistent with my impression of him.

I've just been flicking through the books again, seeing if anything new was sparked. It wasn't, but I did notice that there's a bit in 'I Dare' where he's described as "rugged", and another where his face is associated with the phrase "strong lines", which goes along with my idea of his looks. I also noticed that the scenes where he meets new people are mostly not from the point of view of the new person - the "rugged" scene being about the only exception - which I guess explains why there's not so much description of him in the text. By the way, the scene where he meets Shan for the first time, despite being from his own point of view, mentions a couple of idiosyncratic details about his clothing; you're probably on top of that, but I mention it in case.
