(no subject)
He has been around the Nexus for a short while, off and on, answering questions rather than asking them. To a brief glance he is an older man, heavyset and greying, but neatly dressed and with a very friendly air about him. He looks very much the part of a merry gentleman, perhaps European, or at least well off and well traveled.
To those with a keener sight he may be playing the part just a little too well, and there are moments when he smiles just a little too widely. There is something of a predator lurking beneath the friendly face, and he is not even remotely human. This does not mean his jollity is a sham, but he is nevertheless not quite what he seems to be.
Seeing as so few people here are, he hopes to fit in.
"If your purpose in life is one that others find distasteful, is it wrong to enjoy it? Would it be unseemly, for example, that the undertaker derive pleasure from the neat preparation of a corpse?" He twirls a cane absently while he awaits an answer, playing the part of a dapper gentleman.
