He had a monocle on his right eye, which both were small and beady. His gray hair was slicked to the side. He wore a black suit, with a rose protruding from one pocket./p

One that allows the demons to come to our world." the pastor responded. "Throwing in an item of pure silver should close it. I think that-" He was cut off by a shotgun blast.
