The Corporal

Existence

  "... that scowling son o' a bitch? That's the Cammy's sheriff--well, he was, at one point. No one knows where that boorish, snarking fucker came from, 'sides Salem, and apparently that ain't even his home city.
  
  Got the damn attitude of a Brujah, the snappy dressing skills of a Ventrue, and the wolfish air of a Gangrel. You figure out wha' the fuck he is, 'cause I've damn well given up!"
  
  Charming, exotic brutality finds itself wrapped up in tranquil fury and snappy business suits. The large, middle-aged man's skin is dark and cool, partially damaged by bronze scarring, finely stretched over a statuesque body carved from years of military service; the face is just as eye-catching, with a crooked Aquiline nose, a strong square jaw, and attentive amber eyes. Snow white hair swept away from the forehead accompanies the epitome of manliness: a trimmed chinstrap beard. Distinct in poise as he is in attitude, Malacharv commands a certain presence wherever he appears--and that presence isn't always glamorous.
