This is part one of an interview with the charming—and sometimes exasperating—Mr. Lowood from The Divine Sins.

Personal Questions

1. What is your real, birth name? 
Samael Barnabas Lowood

2. Do you have a nickname? What is it, and where did you get it?
I recently took a liking to the nickname “Sam.” I’ve had others of course, but I hardly think, “Ahh! It’s a ghost!” counts.

3. What do you look like?
Tall, dark, and full of emotional problems that result in fantastic sexual prowess. Those seem to be attributes the ladies find particularly appealing.

4. How do you dress most of the time?
I dress well. Is there any other way?

5. How do you “dress up?”
I suppose if I wanted to “dress up” I would wear a tail coat and bow tie. Oh, and I would carry a cane. I’ve always wanted to hide my sword in one.

6. How do you “dress down?”
I would never do such a thing. Wait. Is nudity considered a form of “dressing down?” 

7. What do you wear when you go to sleep?
Ghosts don’t need to sleep. 

8. Do you wear any accessories?
A sword and a give em’ hell attitude.

9. In your opinion, what is your best feature?
I would say my eyes are my best feature. As far as eyes go, they’re spectacular.

10. What’s your real birth date?
September 28, 1866

11. Where do you live? Describe it: Is it messy, neat, avant-garde, sparse, etc.?
I live in The Darklands. My home is a tower located north-west of the Nightmare Forest. It’s quite spartan, although it does have a rose garden. 

12. Do you own a car? Describe it.
Is that what people drive around in these days? I have no need of one. Floating is much faster.

13. What is your most prized mundane possession? Why do you value it so much?
A purple rose. I gave it to someone as a gift. I think I value it more than she does because she doesn’t even seem to notice she lost it.

14. What one word best describes you?

Scintillating.
