Nosferatu -x- Leeds

Nosferatu Rikko.jpg

Appearance: A lumpy creature with greenish gray skin, a hunched over posture and stooped gait, and oversized fangs and claw-like fingers. Rikko resembles nothing so much as a goblin, created for the Lord of the Rings franchise with CGI technology. Somehow, he is harder to look at. He has piercing yellow eyes, a tremendously hooked nosed, and a neck that projects forward from his torso, only to bend dramatically upward to support a bald, greenish egg-like head. His sharply pointed ears extend above the crown of his head, to a height of about 5 feet off the ground, often twisting to follow the movement of his eyes. If he ever were to stretch to his full, erect height, he would be tall indeed. Rikko usually wears concealing clothing: Trench coats or parkas with hoods that can hide his head as well as his misshapen body. It is clear that he finds covering his head uncomfortable, however, as he sheds such concealment as soon as he can get away with it. On formal occasions, he has been known to dress in Victorian era capes.

Behavior: Rikko tends to hang back, observing events rather than taking part in a typical Nosferatu fashion. When he speaks, he does so in a way that indicates that he has considered the information he is sharing extensively, and one would do well to take heed. On rare occasions his amusement with the "good and great" shows through in a truly terrifying smirk.

History: To those who ask, Rikko was a clerk in a small law office in Nottingham. The son of a farmer, he was the first in his family to learn to read and cypher. He has likened himself to a predecessor to Bob Cratchit. In his position, he was able to overhear too many tidbits of information than was safe for a man with no family or connections to know. Citrine Green found the young man clinging to life on the side of an abandoned country track, desperately clinging to life as his blood seeped out through multiple knife wounds. After more than a century of cataloging and then seeking out secrets for his mistress, Rikko came to Leeds as the primary intelligence agent in Avalon's counterstrike against the Sabbat refugees from London who had killed the previous Baron. In Leeds, he has taken the position of Primogen for the Nosferatu, and remains the eldest and most influential Nosferatu in the Barony of York.
