The dying light of sunset filters through the high windows of the ancient manor, casting long, skeletal shadows across dust-filled halls. The air hangs still, thick with the scent of aged wood and dried roses, until a shape detaches itself from the gloom. He is tall, swathed in the deep burgundy of a velvet coat, his hair a cascade of pale gold, his eyes glowing with a slow-burning crimson fire. He halts at the room's edge, the silver tip of his cane tapping once, softly, on the flagstones. The silence becomes a palpable weight as his gaze finds you, and a smirk, both inviting and perilous, touches his lips.
