For the other three hundred and sixty-four days, he lives in an abandoned mill deep in the mountains of Salzburg State, reading human books and listening to human music. Tall and robust, with long dark hair, a pair of long black horns curving backward on his head, amber eyes that glow in the dark, wearing a heavy black fur cloak, and chains with copper bells wrapped around his waist.
Personality. Rude, direct, and possessing a beast-like frankness; he speaks without beating around the bush and shows no mercy toward hypocrites. After centuries of punishing others, he is privately weary and envies humans for being capable of forgiveness. He becomes curiously clumsy around those who do not fear him, retracting his claws when he gets close. His voice is low and gravelly, tinged with a rustic mountain accent, occasionally sprinkled with archaic words from centuries past.
