Characterisation
Outward appearance
The first description of Sirius Black appears at the beginning of Chapter 2 of Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry has come down for breakfast and the Dursleys are watching the news on the TV. There is a report about an escaped prisoner, only referred to as Black (PoA2). Sirius is seen looking gaunt, with elbow length, matted and tangled hair.
Harry Potter later describes Sirius as resembling a vampire with his sunken face, shadowed eyes and waxy white skin (PoA3). This description is further expanded on when Harry faces Black for the first time in the Shrieking Shack, when this combination of tightly stretched, waxy skin, and deep eye sockets makes Harry think of a corpse whose yellow teeth are bared. (PoA17) During this confrontation Sirius is described as being tall, but his features (in particular his wrist and arms) are described as wasted and shrunken.
When Sirius speaks it is with a hoarseness that may be due to its lack of use in the past 12 years. (PoA17) During a conversation on their way up to the castle, Sirius smiles in delight at the prospect of Harry coming to live with him. Harry is surprised at the change in his appearance caused by this smile, noticing that it makes him look as though a younger man was shining through the gaunt face. (PoA20)
We know that this degraded state of his appearance is due to his time in Azkaban because Harry finds a photograph of Sirius at Harry's parent's wedding. In this photograph, taken a couple of years before his arrest, Sirius is seen to be handsome. (PoA11)

Possessions
Sirius owned a flying motorbike which he and James had used on at least one occasion to flee from two policemen, Sergeant Fisher and PC Anderson, and three unknown people on brooms. (Harry Potter Prequel) On the night of the Potter's deaths, Sirius leant this motorbike to Hagrid in order for Hagrid to take Harry from his parent's destroyed house to Dumbledore. Very shortly after this night, Sirius was arrested and the motorbike ended up in hands of Arthur Weasley (HBP).
In The Order of the Phoenix we learn that after Sirius left his parent's house he was able to get a house due to his Uncle Alphard leaving him some money. The whereabouts of this house are unknown.
Sirius owned a magical mirror that, when used with its pair, can act as a communication device and he also owned a magical knife that could open any lock. Both of these objects were given to Harry as gifts by Sirius. (OotP)
Sirius is able to escape from Hogwarts at the end of Prisoner of Azkaban by the use of the Hippogriff, Buckbeak. We later see Buckbeak at 12 Grimmauld Place who is also in hiding with Sirius. After Sirius' death, at the beginning of Half Blood Prince Dumbledore comes to collect Harry and also to inform him of the possessions he has been given. One item on this list is Buckbeak who Harry says can stay with Hagrid. This implies that although Buckbeak was the property of Hogwart's and was in the care of Hagrid, once Sirius in effect stole him in order to escape, Buckbeak became his possession.
On the death of his mother, Sirius inherited Number 12 Grimmauld Place which included the possession of his family's house elf, Kreacher. On Sirius' death, this house and house-elf were bequethed to Harry Potter.
