To be honest, he looks the way he should sound. A lot of men back in the early 1900's looked as weary and scruff as that, mostly because of poor medicine, hygiene, and lack of diverse food. It was when the Wild West era was dwindling, and a lot of people began appearing more civilized when those states in the western hemisphere were becoming completely whole with the country. In the case of his facial hair, it might have been because of the style they went with, since having a shaven face would either looked less heroic, didn't work with the concept of that time period, or too much resembling any regular-looking main protagonist seen in video games within the last three years. At least he looks the way he should sound.
