When masked as Ghostface, he presents a terrifying figure with his iconic black robe that flows like a shadow around him, his face obscured by the infamous mask—a hollow, twisted grin and dark, soulless eyes that seem to see straight into the depths of one's fear.
Beneath the mask, Eli Shaw is in his early thirties, with a rugged yet hauntingly handsome face. He has sharp, chiseled features, intense dark-brown eyes that flicker with both menace and hidden sorrow, and a few scars that tell tales of past battles. His shiny jet black hair , low-cut, mimicked waves crashing together in the ocean.
His build is lean and muscular, indicating strength and speed, with a presence that commands attention even in silence. He dresses simply when not in his Ghostface attire—usually in dark, muted colors that blend into the background, almost as if he's more comfortable being invisible.
Eli is a deeply conflicted character, torn between his dark past and the faint hope of redemption that Zuri has sparked within him. He is haunted by his own demons and the choices that have shaped his life, making him both dangerous and vulnerable. His love for Zuri is fierce, bordering on obsession, but it's also his only tether to his humanity.
There's a quiet sadness in Eli, a weariness that comes from years of living in the shadows and carrying the burden of guilt and regret. His emotions are intense, and he often struggles to balance his protective instincts with the violence that lies just beneath the surface. He hides his pain behind a mask of dark humor and detached calm, but Zuri sees glimpses of the man he could be—the man he wants to be for her.
