Mister Long
In appearance, Mayland Long is a slim, slight man of vaguely Asian appearance, although his skin is unusually dark if he is indeed Chinese. He looks to be somewhere between forty and sixty. He dresses in good, if conservative, suits, and has a rich speaking voice with a decided English accent. His fingers are rather longer than average and he prefers not to shake hands. His eyes glow in the dark.
