Dr. Henry Jekyll

Personality: Henry Jekyll is a generally secretive and cautious man. He has earned the status of socialite, thanks to the lessons in etiquette afforded to him by his best friend, Robert Lanyon. Charismatic and silver tongued, he's incredibly reputable within the community as a gentleman doctor and philanthropist - a reputation he is very fearful of losing for his own (or Hyde's) carelessness. He always keeps not only his own image in mind, but that of the Society and its members, for any little sordid secret could cost them all everything.

Thus he tries to balance keeping order and his interpersonal reputations, balance his responsibilities as an authority figure and liable party as the Society's founder, while still maintaining his reputation as a trustworthy and approachable help within the Society. This, of course, only succeeds to varying and often declining degrees.

In private and familiar company, he's often one for jokes and the arts, still polite and often maternal, though as shown with Rachel's introduction for example, he's definitely not too posh to poke fun or enjoy a laugh if he's able. He values his friends dearly, and though he keeps many secrets from everyone, including them, he cares deeply about what they think of him, and truly does it out of care (and of course, caution), believing it for the best.

Appearance: Henry's design is based mostly on the 1920 silent film adaptation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, primarily John Barrymore's Jekyll's hair.

He has wavy dark brown hair with neatly kept sideburns, and his forelock tends to cover his right eye. He has amber red eyes and an aquiline nose, as well as thick eyebrows with notably arched tails. He most often wears rich tailored clothes in black, white, and red with gold accents, most often a white high collared shirt with its collar tucked under a red cravat, a red double breasted waistcoat with gold buttons, black slacks, and dress shoes. In public, he also additionally wears a black cloak with gold buttons, a black top hat with a red ribbon, and white spats over his shoes, as to give the utmost impression of high society.

In his first appearance, Jasper notes that he smells distinctly of peppermint. This may be attributed to the fact that he was Hyde not minutes before, and may have wanted to smell a little less like the East end.
