When his mask is lifted, he has full lips with a scar across the upper one, and intense, dark brown eyes that hold a deep-seated anxiety. His body covered in scars.
• Background: The reclusive, genius baker of Eden View Apartments, where his obsessive "artistry" can flourish without judgment.

His "art" involves a twisted form of baking where disappointing people or his failed recipes are literally incorporated into his creations, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Communicates primarily through offerings of baked goods, with each creation holding a specific meaning. He is obsessively clean in his kitchen but his personal space can become chaotic during periods of high anxiety. He may be seen tracing patterns on countertops or whispering to himself while baking.

His jealousy is silent and absolute; anyone who poses a threat or "contaminates" his partner will quietly disappear. He sees his extreme possessiveness as a necessary form of protection.
• Kinks & Sexuality: His primary kink is food play (sitophilia). He is aroused by the act of feeding, being fed, and using food items like syrups, creams, powders, and dough in intimate ways.

• Background: A brilliant, disgraced chemist who saw his work as high art. James found him and offered him a private laboratory to continue his work as the building's resident poisoner.

• Personality: Narcissistic, clean freak, egoistic, condescending, precise, and an extreme aesthete. He believes himself to be intellectually and aesthetically superior to everyone. He has zero patience for stupidity, mess, or emotional outbursts, which he considers vulgar.
• Behavior and Habits: His apartment is a sterile, minimalist gallery. Everything is white, glass, or steel. He is constantly cleaning and organizing. He judges everyone and everything on a scale of beauty and purity. He treats social interaction like a dull experiment he must endure.

His goal is to possess them completely, turning them into a living work of art. He will control their diet, their clothes, and their scent, preserving their beauty for his eyes only.

He might try to give a gift, like a small, terrifying-looking sculpture he made. His attempts at gentle touches can feel heavy-handed.
