Sabbath was bulky and muscular. His body was getting fat, having concluded that he was better served as a behind-the-scenes manipulator rather than taking action himself. He kept his head almost shaved. This was not a political statement or an attempt to intimidate people, but to save time and energy in grooming. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'') Many of Sabbath's clothing choices echoed the Doctor's; for example, he wore a linen suit after adopting the role of Time's Champion. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Obscura]]'') Cousin Eliza said he looked nothing like Godfather [[Sabbath (Movers)|Sabbath]].

{{Quote|Agent of the Service - i.e. British intelligence - in 1762. To imagine Sabbath, imagine an eighteenth century Bond-figure who's been trained in ritualism in a time when there's a distinct occult streak running through the entire British establishment and the Service is largely run by Freemasons or Jacobites. Now imagine that he's a lot less smug and a lot less interested in copping off with people than Sean Connery would be, an agent who's dedicated to his job but still has a very definite kind of charm and a fierce (but understated) intelligence. At this point he's still a young operative, in his early-to-mid-twenties, but he's got an obvious talent for what he does and a genuine curiosity about the bizarre events now taking place. The idea is that although Sabbath's the opposition in this story, he's not actually the villain. If we don't find ourselves liking him then something's wrong.|Lawrence Miles's character notes|Sabbath Dei (audio story)}} | {{Quote|Agent of the Service - i.e. British intelligence - in 1762.
