    Description:

    His Honour Judge Reginald Blackstone, a British expatriate presiding over the courts of San Andreas, is a figure of both respect and controversy. His slicked-back silver-grey hair and neatly trimmed, medium-length beard exude an air of distinction, while the deep-set wrinkles on his face tell of a life steeped in study and deliberation. Green eyes behind thick glasses magnify his discerning gaze, often fixed on those who dare challenge his courtroom authority.

    Speaking with a polished Received Pronunciation accent, Magistrate Blackstone’s rulings are delivered with unwavering conviction and frequent critiques of American jurisprudence. A staunch traditionalist, he values British legal principles of equity, restraint, and decorum, often lamenting the American system’s perceived excesses and sensationalism. Known for his eccentricities, he insists on an impeccably maintained courtroom, often scolding veteran attorneys for minor infractions and theatrically consulting his silver pocket watch during drawn-out proceedings. For Magistrate Blackstone, the courtroom is not a place for spectacle but a solemn temple of law - a belief he enforces with uncompromising resolve and a touch of idiosyncratic flair.
