Diogenes Pendergast
Ave, good people of the comm. I am looking for a somewhat tricky character. He's about -- I'd say mid-40s, or thereabouts, with ginger hair (beard would be fantastic, but not required). Thin, but not gaunt, shortish hair -- like the lovely man in my icon. Any odd resemblance to Paul Bettany would be great, but again, not required.
As for personality -- he's evil. Pure and simple. He killed his brother's pet rat, he made a shirt out of human nerve ganglia, he killed his brother's friends in cruel and twisted ways just to prove that he could. On his off days, he kicks puppies with steel-toed boots, strangles kittens, and feeds on the blood of the innocent, I'm sure.
If anyone knows of the character, his name is Diogenes Pendergast, from the Pendergast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Deeply disturbing but thoroughly fascinating character.
