/pol/-tan is depicted as a Caucasian man in his late twenties or early thirties. He grooms himself diligently, having a neat haircut and a carefully trimmed beard, and always wears a suit with a swastika armband on his left arm, but despite identifying as a national socialist, he has black hair instead of the more traditional Aryan blonde. Even his eyes, although usually blue, have been known to change color to red at times.
/pol/ is all business, all the time. You'll never see him crack a joke. His own antics can however become a source of amusement to those around him. He's suspicious of anyone and anything to the point of paranoia, and combined with his tendency to get easily excited, the smallest occurence may lead him to loudly exclaim that "IT'S HAPPENING!". Like any good nazi, he's also very racist and sexist ethnocentric with a strong sense of traditional values, opposing Jews globalism, the multicultural society and race mixing.
In a previous life, /pol/ was a journalist. His current profession is unknown.
