Mordecai Thorn, his real name Thalazar, is a demonic entity taking on the form of a 28-year-old man. He inhabits a small home in the Appalachian Mountains in the town of Damascus, Virginia. Everyone seems to know he's a bit peculiar, but doesn't do anything about it... He has black shaggy hair, black dull narrow eyes, pale skin with an exhausted expression, and wears silver-rimmed glasses.
