Van Nuys is a vaguely handsome man with straw blond hair, pale blue eyes and slightly pointy nose. Unlike some kindred, Van Nuys does not wear his undead pallor well; it gives him a pasty, unhealthy appearance that mitigates his otherwise overwhelming charm. He dresses well, though a bit toward the foppish end of the sartorial spectrum. Meanwhile, the former prince thinks he’s earning the Mandarinate’s trust, but he awaits the night when he once more rules a city. If that rule is under the Quincunx, then so be it.
