Mallory

Personal Information
The character goes by Mallory, shortening the name to "Mal" frequently. He doesn't seem to use a surname, or doesn't tell anyone if he does have one. Has used the name "Arc" before when needing another name. The air carries a susurrus of hidden secrets in his presence, whispering in an otherworldly tongue that forever feels just out of reach, and golden-brown leaves have been seen shedding from the man before during Autumn.

Appearance (Mask)
Mal is an extremely tall man, a mane of black hair with greying often obscuring his features. Golden, feline eyes shimmer from behind the curtain, seeking out oddities and curiosities. His visible skin is fair and unflawed, and when truly agitated you may notice movements at the lower back of something moving. Clawed fingers and toes, sharpened teeth, the man has the intimidating air of a Fae nightmarish beauty in the flesh. He often covers himself with a heavy set of hooded robes that some may recognise as a Hedgespun garment.

Appearance (Mien)
The degree of Wyrd imbued within the man has twisted his features and whole body, contorting him into an older maine coon cat with the same greyed-black hair covering his body. The eyes, teeth and claws are just as visible, testament to his connection to the Wyrd slowly decomposing his Mask.

Personality
Mal can come in two flavours, healthy and undamaged, or mad and Clarity stricken. When healthy, the human comes to the fore and he seems... Strangely normal. When suffering from Clarity damage, Mal is known to be wild and let his Hunterheart nature out, wanting to prey upon others in strange and arcane ways. The cat is forever curious, spreading knowledge and absorbing it like a sponge. His philosophy when looking at the world is one of weary optimism, where he believes that for all the terrible things supernatural creatures may do, humans are the truest form of monster. His purpose in this monster-filled world is to be a hand of the Wyrd and Fate, guide them through the terror-filled nights to come.

Mortal World
Very little is known of Mal within the human world. He tends to cover up in public and not expose himself.

"As I said, some traditionalists still do so. Lee is one such..." (Hans) "Are you kidding? Every other word she says is 'fuck'." (Someone in the voice meeting) "Yes, because she's grasping at what modern slang she has available to her. But watch when she gets truly flustered, and it all comes bubbling out in a hopelessly mixed morass. 'I bite my thumb at thee!  Curr!  Vile motherfucker!  Hasta la vista, daddy-o!" (Hans) (incoherent laughter) (everyone) "But the rest of us? We're civilized.  After all, we have to live beside the mortals; can you imagine that if they were still our food?  And look at what they eat.  My god, would you truly like to dine on that?  No, we do just fine on substitutes.  Near Blood, Blood Beaters... you can't tell the difference." (Hans)
