“His teeth are those of a carnivore. When he bares them in a smile, it gives one the impression of an animal snarling. His face is white, for he despises the sun, eschews the out-of-doors.

Despite his handsomeness, his is a frightening visage, the face of some demon who has taken on a human aspect”
