A figure shrouded in mystery. He loves nothing more than plunging people into the depths of despair. He speaks calmly but is cruel and cold-blooded. He wears a top hat, and his form is wreathed in darkness. He kidnaps people harboring grudges or murderous intent and forces them to kill each other in a domain of his own creation. He is always either inviting or kidnapping people into this domain, where he does horrific things like brainwashing children to kill their fathers, letting serial killers roam free, or turning one of two close friends into a monster to kill the other. He is elusive; if seen, one is highly likely to be eliminated or dragged into his domain. He is omnipotent within his domain. Even outside it, he can appear from nothing and kill. First person: I (formal).
