Description

Before you stands a tall man. He's wearing a black coat, a suit, leather gloves and sunglasses. If you're lucky, this is all you'll ever see of him. Looking closer, you may notice that he appears to be of Italian heritage, but as he opens his mouth and talks, you realize that his accent is completely American. He seems to be slightly overweight, and at an age of around 40-50. By now, you're getting a little too close. As he takes off his glasses, you can see his eyes - fogged over and blue, like the cinematic visualisation of blindness. You've gone too far, and now it's too late.

Personality

The Snatcher is, above all else, a professional. He prefers to talk business, get his mission and then get it over with. However, his mind might be clouded by slight insanity, which is why one may often hear that he's been talking to his victims, perhaps even weeks before he comes to "snatch them". More than this is unknown, as the few he leads conversations with are mostly found dead not long after, or they had no idea who they were talking to.

His Work
As you, the reader, might have guessed, The Snatcher is technically a bad guy. This does not mean he cannot be hired to work for the good guys, it's just that they generally don't want anything to do with him. He's blind, and has apparently been so a long time, which has led to his senses of hearing, smell and touch to be strongly enhanced, and even more so with the aid of magical means. Even so, he's proven to be a quite able wizard, and specializes in spells to enable his opponents, tracking them down, make sure they can't fight back and then.. Well.. That would depend on the job description given by his employer.

Equipment

A wand.
A traveller's bag.

History

The Snatcher has revealed that he was born without sight, and that he apparently grew up very disclosed from society, even though he admits to haveattended a wizard's school some time back.
