Oberon is a tall, thin, beautiful young man with hair dark like the deepest shadow. His blue eyes are sunken, his limbs sharp and bony, and he is evil incarnate—the image of a fairy-tale villain. He finds everyone and everything utterly repulsive yet hides his disgust beneath an elegant smile. His every expression is a performance, yet he has a genuine aspect to him. However, he can never feel happiness and is irritated by humanity's ability to do so. He seeks to destroy all living things.
