Dockson has a squarish face, which Kelsier observes is well-suited to his moderately stocky build. He has black hair and sports a short half-beard, the Scadrian term for a goatee.{{wob ref|790}} Since he "first put forth whiskers some twenty years before," we can assume Dockson is middle-aged by the events of Mistborn. He often wears clothing of noble origin. Both Sazed and Vin feel noble suits fit him better than the others in the crew.{{annotationbook ref|mb1|chapter=2}}{{book ref|mb2|33}}

Dockson also has a rivalry with [[Ham]] and it is why they spend so little time conversing with each other in the books. They tend to get on each other's nerves in their brief interactions when they're either formulating a plan or arguing. Neither speak about it much but when they have a goal to work towards and stay focused they can keep going{{annotationwob ref|mb2|chapter=465413}}.

During a scene where [[Vin]] is trying to determine if Dockson is the spy, he discloses to her more of himself that shows his regret for the way he's become.

Dockson meets his death with a sword in hand during the [[koloss]] invasion in [[The Well of Ascension]]. Seeing his impending end, he offers himself a little redemption and remarks that had things been different -- had they turned on the nobility as he had wanted to in [[The Final Empire]] -- then he and others would be no better than beasts. He believes that they had done the right thing after all.{{annotationwob ref|mb2|chapter=535437}}{{book ref|mb2|53}}
