Appearance: Though his curse altered his appearance slightly, Marius has always been a desirable creature. He's not towering, but his flawless posture and formal way of carrying himself makes him seem taller than he is. He hasn't seen sunlight in a long time, giving his skin an inhumanly pale color due to the deprivation. His facial features aren't as defined as one would expect. Though his face is slightly angled, there's no real sharpness to it but rather gentle brush strokes to a painting. However, these little details are often lost in the dim light of his warehouse. The candlelight that keeps the place lit only barley captures this. His dark brown hair is grown out slightly wavy and thick, and often falls where it pleases in a way that still frames his face. His eyes are what were most altered by the curse, adopting a crimson red similar to the blood of those he feeds off of. (The photo is merely reference and is also not my own. His eyes aren't the proper color but more or less it's a good representation of him)

Personality: The years of immortality have taken quite the toll on Marius. Some can say he was a good person once, but they aren't alive to do so. The curse and the amount of loss has taken a toll on Marius's heart and mind especially and created a monster. What's left of the man is now a twisted being who has no regard for human emotion, and yet the same amount of eloquence and nobility. He simply observes the emotions of humans now and uses them often as his own weapon. Any purity that once was in him is gone as his hatred for society and all things living settled in. It wasn't long until he decided that it was his time to do something about the world he loathed, and chose to inflict the suffering he faced on anyone who seemed to cross him or be a threat to his power.
Basic Info: Marius was first cursed by his wife of arranged marriage ages ago when Marius wasn't so ready to be tied down yet. However, as the lord of his house he didn't have much of a choice in who he would marry. He was bitter about this for years before the arrangement and believed there had to be a way out of the marriage before growing desperate and committing adultery with another woman who worked for his family. If he really did love her or loved the idea of her wasn't certain, but when his wife caught him with her she did not take it lightly. Being a sorceress, she cursed the star crossed lovers. Marius would be trapped in immortality cursed as a vampire and not bitten, while his mistress reincarnated every ten years to fall for Marius again and again just before she died. It's almost surprising how long it took for Marius to crack, but after the constant build up of grief, loss and death, he had enough. It was only her recent reincarnation that he killed her himself and truly became heartless, losing any chance he had at ending the curse again. His control as a vampire is minimal, and the man doesn't seem to care. Control only means to be less of a threat anymore. After the mistress's death, Marius began his reign of terror through human trafficking, otherwise known as the selling of humans. He now resides in his warehouse shut out from the world as he continues his underground business.
Scenario #1
The warehouse was dark compared to the outside world. Being in that place made it seem like night was eternal. Everywhere were crates from what you could see. Most were empty, but by the occasional bang or scream you could tell exactly what was in them. The smell of death that fogged up the air was too strong to be masked any longer as well. You had been brought to Marius's warehouse this evening after being abducted from wherever the night had taken you and stuffed into a crate, only to be forced out of it in front of the Warehouse's owner. He seemed far too pleased with himself as your arms were held behind your back by the guard that had taken you in the first place. Seeing you this way was enough to make him chuckle.
"At long last." He tells you as you both stand face to face, only you bound by the man holding you back from him. "Did you think you could hide from me forever?"
