Description
Rufus Illborn is pretty darn intimidating. If you neglect the porcelain-white skin, the red eyes, and the stripy white hair, there's still the fact that he's wrapped head to toe in occult writings, amulets and chains.
He's actually a lot less conspicuous when going around town dressed as a mascot or an anime character, which is what he frequently resorts to.

Loosed from his bindings, Rufus exudes a dark, hellish battle-aura, which protects him and rends his enemies (and friends, and the general vicinity) with fire and shadow. Rufus himself will be the spinning dervish of destruction wielding a butcher's knife in the middle of it.
(Note that clever enemies can suppress or avoid the aura, by utilizing holy bindings and wards such as those which normally keep it contained)

Personality
Rufus says very little, and his facial expression mostly ranges between "stoic patience" and "barely repressed killing urges". Generally, he instead uses his masterful command of body language to convey his wishes. Occasionally his sidekick, Sammy the Creepy Doll, speaks for him, with its trademark annoying chatter.
Though for all that his exterior is scary, and his interior scarier, Rufus is given to occasional pet-the-dog moments. Plus, he dances a mean disco.

Modus Operandi
Rufus occasionally goes about in the world, judging the performance of individual Dolls from a distance, according to his inscrutable standards. Occasionally he grants a boon to a doll who has gone above and beyond the line of duty.
Slavery and blackmail makes good base material for Excrucian attacks on his Estate; should Rufus encounter such, he tends to respond the best way he knows how: violently.
In the evening, if there is opportunity, Rufus goes looking for music to dance to.

In battle, Rufus defaults to Aspect miracles. If he is out-matched or out-numbered, he sheds his protective bindings and lets his Battle Aura do the main damage (with Treasure 5 attacks), using sustained Auctoritas Magister and Aspect to dodge and weave, along with the occasional Mundane attack or Enchantment of fakeness.
