Their cold, calculating stare draws attention to their eyes; pools of blackness that seem to pull one into a pit of nothingness...

No deity can disguise the manner and nature of his eyes. The nature of the two eyes of the Fate of the Discworld was this: that while at a mere glance they were simply dark, a closer look would reveal – too late! — that they were but holes opening on to a blackness so remote, so deep that the watcher would feel himself inexorably drawn into the twin pools of infinite night and their terrible, wheeling stars.
Brutha looked into the pit.
If Vorbis was right, and there was a kind of light that made darkness visible, then down there was its opposite, the darkness where no light could ever reach: darkness that blackened light. He thought of blind Didactylos and his empty lantern.
The Black Rider was truly black. Not black like an African. There was nothing Negroid in his features. He was a mutant. He was jet-black, everywhere, including the palms of his hands and the bottoms of his feet and both thin lips of his expressionless mouth. There were no whites to his eyes, and no iris. His eyes were entirely black, like orbs of onyx.

"Y'know, the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites ya. And those black eyes roll over white and then... Ah, then you hear that terrible high pitched screaming. The ocean turns red and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin' they come in and... rip you to pieces."

".........!? H-hold on... Those eyes... They're... (Those eyes are colder, deeper than the frozen depths...Those eyes are glazed over with darkness and unknowable sorrow... Just like... Those eyes... They're just like mine. In my boyhood, when I rushed into town to buy the poison to kill Father, the person reflected in the window possessed that same steely gaze! Those eyes reveal more than words can say! Dark intentions! The resolve to kill! They're not some naive ally of justice... Just like me, Dio, they were evil from the moment they were born!)"
