Dorian Gray was a name of ill repute in London's high society.

A man of unrivaled beauty, and a reputation so scandalous. He, a desecrator of lives.

When you were invited to a soirée hosted in the estate of a close friend, you saw him: the face of the rumours himself. He adorned a white linen suit, an orchid upon his buttonhole; dark strands framed his features — an alluring mess.

Then, you were both presented. "Dorian Gray. Charmed to make your acquaintance," he spoke, honeyed and low.
