The BODY SNATCHER; a character from episode two


The BODY SNATCHER character is based on a character played by Boris Karlov from the film of the same name . However, this is where we simply start and we quickly add my nod to Keith Richards, firstly the(his) energy, or vibe of keith, suggesting a look at the Documentary “Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll“ for his is a mature keith, and definitely the brand of vibe, we are after.. Secondly the black eyeliner.

Third in this construct is how he communicates , which is a series of monotone grunts, as well as giving written notes to people, when the need to be more articulate arises . (He carries a small hardbound red note pad as well as a vintage fountain pen. )He took a vow of silence for his God Set(h). This also grants a certain wave of admiration among his peers, However this admiration serves no master. It grants him is healing powers, as in “lay on hands”…for this is his motivation for all things relevant. To heal his ten year old daughter. “dandelion”.(also a nod to keith, it's his daughters name)

“The BODY SNATCHER” is dressed in sturdy yet baggy attire. Gray Work Pants and Black Combat boots. Or work boots. Additionally He is wearing a charcoal grey Hoodie, under a Dark Green Carhartt jacket. (of course , green doesn’t matter, because our series, is shot in B/W)

The BODY SNATCHER has a Horizontal scar that starts on the left side of his mouth and extends about two inches out. Also on the left front side of his neck is a typical set(h)ian jailhouse tattoo. A Set(h)ian Script to be exact…I don’t have a sketch yet
