Standing in the frame of the doorway was
an uncommonly tall and thin man, in formal dress with a cane and top hat. He was
staring at Elijah with a half-smile that ended abruptly at the borders of his mouth. The Tall Man is an
enigma -- he appeared in the Great Hall once, to cloud Elijah Mark's mind and force
him to forget the room he'd recently found (explained in events)
and a second time to drop hints concerning the meaning behind the chessboard. According to Voracia
he is the Lord of the Great Hall, and has used the Great Hall as a trap with which
to feed on what he catches... after a fashion. Whether he has built the Great Hall
and it is truly his, or he is simply another resident, albeit one with great knowledge
and control over it, remains unknown. The Tall Man appears to be an uncommonly
tall and thin elderly man, with silvery-grey hair, clean shaven, grey eyes. He dresses
formally, in a fashion that is not what one would call "modern."
