Style: When in Voltiere's presence, Drei usually wears formal attire out of habit and respect. However the lot of the time around town, and especially on his "free days", he sports hoodies of all sorts. Underneath you might see a polo or a casual shirt, but no rocker tees or baggy clothes. He tends to wear slacks and tennis shoes.

(Not-so?) Quick Bio:
Drei was born in North Carolina a good twenty or thirty years after the Civil War had ended. His mother died while giving birth to him, from completely unprecedented causes. His father had been raised in a family of slave owners, and was a harsh man. He expected the very best of his son in all areas. Drei liked to make friends with everyone of all races, even though his father forbade him to do so. He would sneak out in the night to meet his friends in the outback. One night on Halloween, the day before his birthday, no one was there to greet him, and he surely hasn't gotten the date wrong. Someone attacked him, and after a long while of struggling and beating his attacker with a stick, he was victimized and bitten by none other than a rogue vampire.
So it came to be that he didn't die that night, and with the fight he put up the vampire, Voltiere, decided to make him his Ghoul instead and took him north, out of state. Since then he has been Voltiere's blood-servant, the anti-prejudiced boy turned a slave himself. It may seem cruel, but Voltiere is actually nicer than most would be: He ceases Drei's feeding on the last day of each month and lets him roam for one night as a free person (the note being, Ghouls must be continually fed Vitae - blood - by their masters if they are to be kept Ghouled and under control).
He has a complicated relationship with Junni. Even as a Ghoul Drei still has a mind of his own, and falls in love with the peculiar girl from a bypasser's point of view. Eventually, with much harassment, he confronts her and gets to know her. She seems to send mixed signals back: Does she want to just be friends, or is she willing to see what this might have in store? Drei's willing to pursue in his suiting to find out.

A proper coloring of his hair.
He's sitting in the chair. (That other guy is a very early and discontinued concept of Voltiere.)
Drei and Junni. This is how he gets when he's protective. Yes, his nails are that long (longer, truth be told) when he uses his powers (one of which is Protean, or the acquiring of shape/form).
