Adze
"I've got three strikes against me: I'm black, vampire, and Nosferatu. Yet, all of you want to be me because I run shit And I still shine."
Rising to power and influence during the Jazz age both Al Capone and Horatio Ballard kept him in check and so he was often overlooked, allowed his own little niche away from the others. Now that Capone is dead and Ballard is running threadbare trying to protect his business empire from the Second Inquisition he has had the freedom to shine and he has seen his star rise in meteoric fashion. Now he runs the new hottest Elysium in town and is the silent partner behind numerous other fruitful enterprises.
Adze is extremely dark-skinned, almost blue-black. The curse of being Nosferatu extended his cranium and elongated his features, including sunken cheeks with a sharp, yet broad nose and thick lips. He has the appearance of walking African art. Adze wears black round-rimmed glasses to hide the deformity of his blinded right eye. Adze takes great pride in his appearance, offsetting his Nosferatu features and dark skin tone with crisp, tailored three-piece suits with contemporary African flourishes such as vests made of hand-woven kente or mudcloth. His voice is a hoarse whisper akin to a muffled trumpet with a rhythmic cadence like jazz and peppered with the slang of over 200 years.
