Appearance: At first, the head butler only known as "Mr. Black" by staff and outsiders alike, may seem like the typical man in charge of serving to the Scarlet family and guests alike. His lanky and tall posture, along with his polished appearance and his silent demeanor, makes him stand out among the rest of the staff. He is always well groomed and well dressed, and is usually seen roaming around the halls or in the library.
However, do not let his orange eyes, his fair skin, his silk-smooth hair, and his overall "harmless" appearance fool you. It is nothing more than a mask, hiding a shadowy, looming aura of pure terror if you want to call it that. He is a vampire, however he holds no relation to what the Scarlets are, except through occupation. When he is truly starved, his true self emerges, a monstrosity standing barely under nine feet, porcelain white skin, a mouth full of hundreds of needle-like teeth. In this form, the "lack" of eyes, the outstretched limbs and fingers, and the numerous tentacle-like appendages on his back makes him horrifying.
Personality: He is the head butler, meaning that everybody listens to whatever orders he gives. He oversees all services and operations, from house cleaning, to serving to the guests of Scarlet Manor. He demands obedience, and he isn't above using psychological tactics to get it out of his subordinates. The reason behind this, is that if one screws up, he gets his ass chewed out by the Scarlets, and everybody has to pick up the loss of work.
Behind the scenes, however, he is a corrupted "fellow", truly hidden deeply under the public disguise that everybody else sees. The Scarlet family knows this, and they use this to their advantage, employing "Mr. Black" as their attack dog not only to keep people in line, but to defend their estate from any would-be thieves. Talk about the perfect anti-theft security.
He is a busy man, split between security, managing resources, budgeting the paychecks of the maids and other butlers, and among other things. He is also sent out on business, even during the day, despite the fact that he's a vampire.

Skills/Talents: He is the head butler for a reason. He gets shit done. It doesn't matter how it gets done, but whatever it is, the Scarlet family knows that it's going to be finished in a reasonable amount of time.
He is surprisingly nimble and swift despite his "old" age, whatever that might be. He holds a degree of mastery over his form, almost able to control the shift between forms at will, even able to retract or extend the appendages on his back. However this mastery is no longer apparent when he becomes starved of blood.

Other: His true name is known to the Scarlets, everybody else refers to him as "Mr. Black"
Despite his temper, he is extremely docile, his anger only apparent when in his true form. This is also what makes the other maids and butlers somewhat afraid of them, which contributes some of their obedience towards his orders and those of the Scarlet family.
He is also known (atleast to the Scarlets) to eat former butlers and maids if they severely slack in their duties, eating in the literal sense. However, he is then required to hire a new replacement for whomever he previously devoured.
He doesn't need to feed on blood per se, but more on the lifeforce of the victim, where their lifeforce is located within the blood. This allows him to absorb the lifeforce of others through direct touch, however... the process is extremely painful to whom he's feeding on, as well as leaving needlelike marks into their flesh, where his fingers had been.
What most people don't realize is that, despite appearing to have no eyes in his true form, he does. What makes this illusion is the fact that a translucent layer of skin forms over them, giving him the impression of having no eyes.
