He's a husky gentleman, fairly hirsuite, with a single eyebrow. His index, middle, and ring fingers are exactly the same length.

Most of the time, he's fairly unremarkable, if rather stand-offish, but as the full moon approaches he becomes increasingly agitated. He buys in stores of meat, which he stores in his room, makes sure he knows moonrise on the first day of the full moon to the second, and on the day before will lock himself in his room witha “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door. Anyone listening will hear the clicks and clatters of locks and chains, then the thump and drag of furniture being put across the door.

However, on the three days of the full moon, he will emerge from his room, perfectly normally. In fact, far more normally than he is othewise. His clothes will fit him better, he's perfectly calm, and he won't obsess about the moon. He'll be friendlier than before, talking quite happily to people. He will do absolutely nothing strange or remarkable on those three days. Observant people might notice that his eyebrows are now separate, and his fingers are now different sizes.

On the day after the full moon, he will emerge from his room pale and haggard, and will check the newspapers for stories about mutilated livestock or animal attacks on humans. When he doesn't find any, he will be relieved, and will resume his usual routine.
