APPEARANCE
➤ GREAT HORNED OWL / main ― reference➤ a standard owl, albeit with significantly darker plumage than expected and facial disc colored a stark white. prominent tufts of feathers resembling ears poke out from under his hat.
➤ his uniform: white plague doctor mask with its beak full of aromatic herbs and tinted glass obscuring his eyes, traditional wide-brimmed doctor's hat, and waxed leather overcoat with holes cut to fit his wings. with additional feathers, not an inch of skin is shown at any time in public. wears a brass cross on a chain around his neck. carries his first aid necessities in pouches on a brown belt around his waist, along with a wooden cane. two leather anklets are now present on his legs.
➤ required to wear a pair of protective rubber gloves at all times -- however, due to new wings in this form, he has discarded them
➤ never takes off his uniform or mask, not because he fears miasma; he purposely hides his sickly appearance underneath. his words are not often heard clearly due to this
➤ without his garb, he has a sickly appearance; sunken eyes, swollen lymph nodes, and painful sores beneath his feathers
➤ lifeless blue eyes
➤ pale amber blood

NOTES
➤ cannot physically age and permanently trapped in the state he was in at time of death➤ the spirit of a 16th century plague doctor, as well as the horseman of pestilence and a carrier of corruption
➤ delusionally obsessed with finding a cure for what was originally the plague, but now corruption and death itself
➤ holds a personal grudge against the one responsible for tempting him into his fate of being a horseman
➤ his hands and forearm up to the elbow are coated in a black substance known as corruption, rendering his touch lethal to souls when in contact for long periods of time. although corruption cannot affect the living through contact, isaac's touch can leave chemical burns
➤ fluent in both english and italian, yet no accent can be easily identified to his voice
➤ following ghost physics, isaac doesn't have a shadow or reflection, nor a scent, and cannot retain body warmth nor consume anything. can maintain a physical apparition for days at a time
➤ knowlegable in the field of medicine and surgery as expected, but has additionally studied and experimented with toxins

➤ resides in a wooden shack on the outskirts of tanglewood's town. considerably musty from its years without any occupant, yet patches of herbs have been sewn and begin to grow. cobwebs line the ceiling, while shelves of glass brickerbrack and other oddities decorate the walls. a shroud of gloom and sickness lingers around the crooked shelter, and the occasional smell of death can be identified, wafting from the cracked windows.
