The first impression often had of Mr. Gray is that he is a most charming young man with an easy way about him. He is a gentleman, courteous and graceful, and often turns up at social events simply because he is well-liked. He lives a life of luxurious bachelorhood, pursues a variety of hobbies, and typically keeps his rumored sexual deviancy behind closed doors.
To those familiar with the author Wilde, the name Dorian Gray is synonymous with vanity, narcissism, and hedonism. This particular version is much older than the one in the novel, and has consequently aged out of the first two and become something darker. While he maintains his appearance, he has a calm self-assuredness in his looks and superior nature, and a ruthlessness entirely divorced from reactionary recklessness. He still falls in love quickly and often, but can betray such attachments just as quickly and be plagued by little, if any, remorse. He may or may not be as old as he claims, though he only claims to be so to the rarest of people. God help you if you discover the secret to his immortality.
Nevertheless, or perhaps as a result, Dorian is a deeply lonely person with a sense of profound emptiness. He is chronically bored and will stop at nothing to feel something. Anything. Almost nothing phases him. Threaten him, hit him, choke him, cut him and don't be surprised if he responds with nothing but an eerie smile.

Sharpshooter
Can headshot six of the only people worse than him in about four seconds.
Creative Hedonism
Uhhhh, maybe don't ask.
Wouldn't you like to know, darling?
