->It looked like [[EvilOldFolks an old man, decrepit and rotten]]. It was [[FullFrontalAssault naked]], its skin slick and shiny as pitch. Its flesh was withered and decomposing, with missing toes and misshapen feet. [[FatBastard A distended gut protruded obscenely]] from beneath a narrow chest, arms spread wide in a mockery of greeting. Above a ruined throat, she saw a too-wide mouth locked in a [[SlasherSmile rictus grin]], and eyes - oh god, those eyes. The thing [[IntangibleMan emerging from the wall]] before her looked like a man, but its eyes were grey and flat as a shark's.

->His demeanor was that of a gentleman balloonist who had accidentally touched down in exotic surroundings: inquisitive. amused. [[TheFaceless With the branch in front of his face]], his intentions were impossible read. He circled Professor March. There was something strange about the way he moved, something too fluid about his gait. When he walked into the light, Quentin saw that he wasn't quite human, or [[WasOnceAMan if he had been once he wasn't anymore]]. Below the cuffs of his white shirt [[RedRightHand his hands had three or four too many fingers]].

->Fifteen minutes crawled by, then half an hour. Quentin couldn't turn his head, and the man moved in and out of his field of vision. He puttered with Professor March's equipment. He toured the auditorium. He took out a knife and pared his fingernails. Objects stirred and shifted restlessly in place whenever he walked too near them. He picked up an iron rod from March's demonstration table and [[SuperStrength bent it like a piece of liquorice]]. Once he cast a spell — he spoke too fast for Quentin to catch the details — that made all the dust in the room fly up and whirl crazily in the air before settling back down again. It had no other obvious effect. When he cast the spell, [[AbnormalLimbRotationRange the extra fingers on his hands bent sideways and backwards]].
->An hour passed, then another. Quentin's fear came and went and came back in huge sweating rushes, crashing waves. He was sure something very bad was happening; [[SurrealHorror it just wasn't clear yet exactly what]].

->Throughout history, mankind has been ravaged with horrific tragedy. And on each and every occasion, [[BeenThereShapedHistory it was there]], gorging itself on humanity's pain and suffering. Since the dawn of civilization, it has haunted the shadows of human existence, inflicting agony and death on all it embraces. It has been more than a hundred years since the darkness fell upon the new world. But the hour of evil is upon us once again. [[AStormIsComing There is a vicious storm brewing]], bringing winds of torment and a rain of terror. And with it comes the haunter, a parasitic monster who [[EmotionEater feeds on man's most primal emotions]], seeking ecstasy in the torturous throes of human misery. No man, woman or child is safe from its wickedness.

->[[MadScientist The damnable Frenchman]] that the men elected to lead them spoke of peace. He spoke of weapons [[BodyHorror so terrible]] that we could make the enemy surrender on the spot. We were fools. We had run at trenches with dead men's rifles and sticks in our hands. We believed him the way we believed anyone that has supplies.
->We never thought where this man came from. We didn't wonder why he had the weapons he did. [[GodzillaThreshold We didn't care. We wanted to live]].
->We never considered that the enemy had the same things we did. I do not think the Frenchman did either. Or at least I hope he did not. I cannot imagine any man who would walk into this knowing what would happen. [[AmbiguouslyHuman Maybe the Frenchman is not a man]]. Maybe he is something else.

->Between them and the waiting Nazi guards, where the walls change, is [[TheyLookLikeEveryoneElse a slight figure in a brown suit]].
->The young man walks slowly toward the old city, as if in a dream or slowed-down film. His footsteps take too long to land. He wears archaic clothes, trousers that balloon out from pulled-up socks. His hair is a strange pale parted black. [...] As the young man approaches them, the Germans open fire.
->And Thibault almost falls in astonishment because he sees the man [[ImmuneToBullets unconcerned by any of the bullets that hit him]]; he sees him look hard at the closest shooter, and where the man looks, [[RealityWarper a house rises]]. Emerging instantly from nothing, clean, freshly painted, fussily rendered, pale, almost translucent. And the soldier, all the soldiers who were where the house is now [[CriticalExistenceFailure are gone]].

->They're almost at the top of the first flight of steps when the front door opens below them. Schiller's greeters are conspicuously absent as a solitary figure in [[NiceHat top hat]], [[SharpDressedMan white tie and tails]], with [[ClassyCane silver-topped cane]] tucked under one arm, paces through the entrance and pauses dramatically. Mo's knees turn to jelly as the new arrival turns its face upwards and directs the full weight of his vast, dryly amused attention on her.

->Of all the lords of the Old Ones, only Nyarlathotep appears wholly in the likeness of a man. The shapes of the Old Ones are not fixed, but express their nature through a harmony between form and intention; yet it is possible for them to [[VoluntaryShapeshifter change their appearance within the bounds of this accord]], and Nyarlathotep chooses to come to his worshipers as a man of [[LargeAndInCharge greater than average height]] who is in all respects human [[RedRightHand save one]]: that he has [[TheBlank no face]], but only a blackness where a face should be seen. As the face of [[AlmightyIdiot Azathoth]] is darkly bright and radiates outward, so the face of Nyarlathotep is a void that draws inward both heat and light and never releases them. He is the eater of souls.
->Why he comes in the shape of a man is not known, but it may be to better have dealings with humankind, since he is reputed to [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu enjoy the company of men when they drink wine and gamble]], and the bodies of women [[DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu with whom he lies in lust]]. He speaks as a man speaks, but his voice has the coldness that lies between the stars, and few wish to hear his sardonic laughter, for then there will be death. [[PsychopathicManchild Men are to him as playthings to a child]] - to be taken up for a time, then abruptly cast away and trodden into the earth.
