Using vivid imagery, describe a character that could be a villain in a gothic story. your description should be four to six sentences.

He was draped in all black clothes, from the hood draped over his head to the cloak brushing the ground he stood on. His eyes were piercing and they appeared to have pupils as wide as the horizon and as dark as night. He wore thick boots which made him stand a few inches taller than his 6 foot frame already stood. He had piercings on his face, coating him in thin shapes of cold metal. He must have had a deadly gaze but no one dared to test this theory, not even the biggest and bravest of men, for he looked like his gaze could swallow souls.
