    His indigenous ancestry must be distant, he is white as snow and all his facial traits and bone structure are european, i would say he looks especially iberian(mainly portuguese) and germanic(mostly german and dutch). Also i think os unlikely that he has any black descent, he comes from a rich southeastern brazillian family, white southeastern brazillians are usually of mostly portuguese, italian, some german and spanish, and distant indigenous ancestry from the colonial times.
