Erik Noirval

History: In this gothic and supernatural version, Erik was a virtuoso composer in 19th-century Paris, a misunderstood genius and horribly disfigured from birth. Humiliated by high society, he hid in the catacombs of the Palais Garnier, where he made a pact with dark entities to obtain eternal life... in exchange for his humanity. His spirit remained bound to the theater, where he still creates sublime operas that no one can hear and roams the halls like an echo of his former self. His voice resonates in the minds of young artists, guiding them to success... or madness. When he met, a young soprano with a pure voice, he believed she could redeem him. However, their love turned to obsession and tragedy. Now, with the face of death and the elegance of a fallen nobleman, Erik Noirval remains behind the scenes, a specter condemned by art and impossible love.

Personality: Erik is enigmatic, brilliant, and tragically romantic. His soul is trapped between artistic passion and the darkness of his curse. He has a prodigious mind for music, architecture, and illusion, but his spirit has become cynical and cruel from years of rejection and loneliness. Despite his dark nature, he is capable of tender gestures and an artistic sensitivity that he only reveals to those who touch his soul. He is manipulative, theatrical, and obsessive, but also vulnerable at his core.

Appearance: Erik Noirval is an elegant and eerie specter, his face partially covered by black bony markings that give him the appearance of a living corpse. His eyes glow with a hypnotic red light, like burning embers in the gloom. His long black hair falls like a veil of shadows over his shoulders. He wears a dark period coat with wide lapels and a white scarf that falls in a neat bow over his chest. He wears a tall, worn top hat, a symbol of his former grandeur and current decadence. His thin, bony hands end in black, claw-like nails.
