Physical Description
Horribly gaunt, the Bloody Baron's ghostly form is pearly-white and transparent, his face hollowed with eternal sorrow and blank staring eyes that pierce unnervingly. His robes hang in tatters, forever stained with silvery blood that shimmers like liquid moonlight. He floats with a chilling presence, the air around him growing cold and heavy. The Bloody Baron is a gaunt, staring ghost with a translucent, silvery form that drifts silently through the castle. His emaciated frame is draped in tattered Slytherin robes of faded green and silver, splattered and dripping with glistening silver bloodstains. Sharp, angular features frame his hollow cheeks and piercing dark eyes that fixate with unnerving intensity, while wispy silver hair clings to his spectral head. Chains dangle faintly from his body, adding to his menacing yet sorrowful presence. His thin build and historical attire evoke a medieval noble turned eternal wanderer.
