He'll be able to tell if you don't.

This character is as of yet unnamed, but after talking to *Opheer I figured out his personality, occupation, and the name will come later. Great order, I know.

This guy is the embodiment of manipulation and everything oily slick and smooth. He's an expert in the field of human psychology, and is able to read the tiniest bit of body language like an open book- and, in turn, is able to manipulate this to benefit him. He is a chameleon able to smoothly blend in the crowd- any social culture, and is able to take on tons of personas, terrifying and convincing, may it be from an insecure young man to a confident cold mobster, he knows how to carry himself. Knows just what to say and when to say it, and how.
With a lot of knowledge of the world, may it be cultures, politics, sports, media or history (even language; he speaks English, French and Russian, all without accent and more than a few English dialects. He's French himself) he can keep face almost everywhere.
It's a thrill for him to completely play a person may it be over a prolonged period of time, or in a flash charming someone (or terrifying someone) to make them do what he wants. He's hired for this talent, but it's also this talent that makes him unable to make a normal relationship or contact with someone due to subconscious manipulation and loss of his own identity.

I wanted to make him a little scary HAHA but you'd be surprised how his face can change if he wants to look non-intimidating.
Steely grey eyes and shaven blonde hair. I like. His eyebrows are very thin and very light.

Ahghg ahaha this guy is very intimidating. I love how scary he looks even in the tiny thumbnail before I opened it up I was like jfkfj. It's like the longer you look at him the more off put you get and in a good way. That shaven hair effect came out really great too agh. That itty bitty smile going on is a nice touch. I was like wait is he kinda smiling in the other..and had to keep staring haha.

HA now I can comment.

I gotta say I love the shift from the first picture to the slight smile in the second. He looks like he's up to no good. Oh god he's reading my soul jdhs

I also like the fact you didn't present him with a name, it just adds to the chameleon nature of his character. LOL maybe he can simply go without one. Nah man I mean, maybe he simply never reveals his real name to anyone.

I like the pale coloring coupled with the dark underlid and eyes- it gives the impression of sickliness or just being plain unnerving, so depending on how he presents himself he can either be frightening or vulnerable.

Opheer approves, and is sucker for evil blond guys. O u O d

I really liked that after you mentioned it- maybe he goes by an alias, or by a ton of names and merely a way of seeking contact with him. That he's dropped that old identity and has forsaken it.

Ajdgfdf ugh thank you so much HE IS READING IT. I like how-- idk he can smile with his eyes, but here only his mouth moves, it's the kind of smile that says, I know what you're up to- I know that you're lying. It's scary. HE KNOWS YOUR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

Hhahaha evil blonde nearly bald guys, OPHEER APPROVES.
