Never having a proper home and abandoned by his mother at an early age, he became a drifter and later took up a trade as an electrician.Desoubrie was described as a short, stocky man with piercing grey eyes set behind a pair of moderately thick-lensed spectacles. He was always smartly dressed, with his light brown hair always neatly combed. His smile revealed bright gold fillings in his front teeth and he spoke excellent English.
