At six feet tall with a muscular, but slim build, Marius is not someone who is immediately intimidating. He has the appearance of a male of around thirty years of age, with dark, perpetually tousled hair and blue eyes. Despite this rather normal description, however, quite obviously appears as someone who is not quite human. He moves with a grace unseen in any mortal, almost seeming to glide rather than walk. His eyes easily give him away, the blue shade of his iris being far too bright and flecked with silver, as if someone had turned the colour saturation up too high. As a vampire, Marius has slightly elongated canine teeth, which can be lengthened when he needs to feed. Under normal circumstances they are barely noticeable.
Living as long as he has, Marius has learned the benefits of adapting to his surroundings and his clothing style reflects that. He would not be found decked out in the latest Armani fashions, but he is always smartly dressed in tailored trousers and smart-casual blazers with open-collared shirts. The vampire doesn’t dress to be noticed – but rather the opposite, for being noticed may lead to attention being drawn to parts of his appearance which are far less human-looking than his clothes. Perhaps unusually, around his neck he wears a small silver crucifix, and he keeps a rosary in his pocket at all times.
When nervous, Marius has gained the habit over the years of poking at his right canine tooth with the tip of his tongue, or biting his lip. He has a very refined way of speech, rarely using contractions such as ‘don’t’ or ‘can’t’, and will occasionally slip foreign words into his English when distracted. His accent is very rich, owing to his age and the number of places where he has lived, and despite being away from Italy for so long he retains a dominantly Italian twang.
