Appearance
With odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil."
Inquisitor may take many forms, some beautiful, others grotesque. But he most often chooses the trappings of a contemporary superhero. The finest materials clothe a fit and relatively dapper young man. Though his skin remains pallid, his eyes a predatory yellow, Inquisitor is nevertheless a handsome caped cadaver, who moves with unnatural grace.

Tropes
- Our Vampires Are Different - Inquisitor resembles the myriad of vampire legends and modern retellings to varying degrees. Some of his abilities and weaknesses are exactly what you'd expect. Some are quite different.
- Masquerade & Game Face - Inquisitor plays a dangerous game flying around in a cape. He knows well the dangers of paranoia, and that sometimes, overreaching is what kills you. He has overcome his own fear of discovery, if only temporarily, by acting as if there is nothing to hide. Better to feed suspicion now and then, than to leave it a starving, raving beast. He takes care to obfuscate most of his secrets, but passes of most of his abilities as superpowers akin to the others flying and speeding around Millennium City. He even allows his more terrifying side to show now and then. Certainly, he isn't the only creature around with destructive, nightmarish appearances?
- Cursed With Awesome - Inquisitor is cursed, no doubt. He leads a painful, twisted existence, at odds with himself and every living soul on the planet, perhaps even God Himself. But there is great power and potential in his condition. He can see, he can do, he can be things people never dreamed possible. And while it is seductive to mortals, it is still, despite the horrors, invigorating to Inquisitor. It may even be the key to his redemption.
- Stronger With Age - Inquisitor is near five-hundred years old. And though he slept much of this away in a coffin, his blood is becoming quite a rare vintage, with its dark powers growing every night he survives. Who knows what abilities may reveal themselves in time?
- The Fog of Ages - But there's a drawback to it all. As the nights turn to months, and they turn to years, remembering and learning become more difficult for Inquisitor. He must devote months to altering his style of dress, or adapting to new technology. His mortal life is becoming foggier every night, and it is straining his hold on Humanity. He keeps a journal to counteract this process, but for some memories, treasured or otherwise, it may be too late.
- Sanity Slippage - Time has addled his memory, and fear has constrained his mind. Fear of death, discovery, and himself. Inquisitor will often fall prey to routine and compulsion, and it may be getting worse. Though it seldom shows while he is out and about, a visit to his Sanctuary will reveal meticulous hours-long grooming rituals, counting of books in his library, and a nightly reading from the Bible, aloud and alone to himself. Such are the fruits, rotten and bitter, of eternal life.
- Beat It By Compulsion - Inquisitor's many rituals and obsessions are begging to be used against him, and he knows it. He goes to great lengths to try and overcome them, only to fall prey to another. He knows his predictability may be the death of him, once and for all. And while its nothing as crude as counting rice, his infatuation with photography, for example, could easily, perhaps laughably, be leveraged towards his doom.
- Camera Fiend - The undead hero's latest obsession, photography has grown near and dear to Inquisitor's heart. It supplements his journal, and it seems magical to him, the ability to capture moments of time and keep them. The ability to witness sunrises without pain is not lost on him. He enjoys the art form simply for the access it gives him to new memories and new experiences, but also for its helpfulness in tracking and recording his targets when his mind is already foggy. He will wait hours for the perfect shot, however, and likewise stare at a finished photo, even if its not his own, for hours.
