Dorian Gray
Dorian Gray is a wealthy gentleman who has gained immortality by having his soul trapped within a painting by Basil Hallward. He is well known for his extravagance and debauchery. He was a former member of the British Paranormal Society.
Description[]
Dorian Gray is a fabulously wealthy gentleman who is almost unnerving in his beauty. Aesthete with reckless abandon, his devil-may-care attitude borders on the dangerous. He has attained an exceptional level of knowledge through his many travels and exploits, yet continues to seek further challenges, driven by an insatiable hunger for new experiences and feelings. Nothing seems to faze him, nor are any risks too great. In fact, he is unnaturally drawn to them.
Overview[]
Dorian is the grandson of the late Lord Kelso. Dorian's mother, Lady Margaret Devereux, was portrayed as a beautiful aristocrat who married below her class without the consent of her father.
While posing for the painting, Dorian listens to Lord Henry espousing his hedonistic worldview and begins to think that pursuits of pleasure are the only things in life worth pursuing. This prompts Dorian to wish that his painted image would age instead of himself. Unbeknownst to Dorian and the others, Lord Henry was in fact Mephistopheles in disguise who, while unseen prior to the events, grants Dorian his wish.
Dorian Gray is perhaps known for his immortality but mainly by proxy through his portrait. His image in the portrait ages while Dorian himself remains young, and whenever he is injured the painting takes the damage while Dorian instantly regenerates. However, should his portrait is ever destroyed, or if he looks at it directly, all of the wounds the image displays will be visited upon Gray in full, effectively killing him in a very gruesome manner.
