Hans Vortigern

Hans Vortigern, known as The Immortal, is Estelle Vortigern's elder son and the brother of Smith Vortigern, as well as a senior member of the Manxome Family.

Appearance
Due to Hans' body-switching power, his appearance is never consistent, with the only trademark being his hair being styled in a ridiculous mohawk that is just as tall as his face.

His true body is that of a sickly old man, bound to a wheelchair with a life support machine. He has deathly pale and flakey skin, a bald dome with many ugly age spots and a very dreary face that almost seems like it is melting as the muscles have atrophied due to the fact that he has not used them for months at a time due to his power. His entire body has also atrophied as well, making him look skeletal under his hospital clothes and even visually older than his mother Estelle. The only thing that is visually sharp about him is his gray eyes, which, despite the surrounding eye muscles being softened by wrinkles and disuse, can look threatening when he actually scowls, as expected from his assassin background.

Abilities
Known as the Immortal, Hans' power is derived from, just like many of the members of the Vortigern Clan, his Aura, which possesses the semblance of Ashes. While it has generally allowed to manipulate any ash in his vicinity in offensive and defensive capabilities, Hans' obsessional focus on the retainance of his appearance and his fear of death has prompted his Aura to evolve to meet his demands and as a result, a large part of it leapt from his body and into the ashes of his dead son, revealing his ability to reconstruct the cremated bodies of people perfectly from their ashes and in turn controlling them. The pieces of Aura in the body are so large that they are self-sufficient and are essentially Hans himself, just in a different ashen body that will never age or die, effectively making him immortal, thus his epithat.

Because they are made out of ash and not flesh, Hans' Ashen Body is not limited by bones, muscles and nerves, only by his Aura. He can thus apply a huge amount of strength, enough to completely match Nora's full-force hammer blow with a 'light knudge', without worrying of backlash, absolutely feels no pain and can be completely obliterated to pieces, but can reform in seconds. The Ashen Body can also manipulate its parts to form sharp blades or blunt implements to weaponize itself and disintegrate itself to allow it to almost 'teleport', further increasing its combat effectiveness. As ash, the Ashen Body is also immune to fire, which cannot sustain itself due to the lack of fuel, but generous amounts of water is one way to prompt the body to disintegrate, but even this is only a temporary reprieve. Even killing Hans' original body will not destroy the Ashen Body,  only causing him immense pain, but he will eventually adapt and become a truly indepentent entity of his own. The only true counter against the Ashen Body is an attack that damages or destroys Aura, which is a very rare technique, while a technique that negates the use of Aura also results in the Body falling apart, but in this case it is not permanent.

Finally, the most valued aspect of the Ashen Body for the Vortigern Clan is that it can take the appearance of others. After the first version of the Ashen Body from his son, Hans has been able to develop a more efficient way of creating a new version. When he has set his sights on a target, Hans will then thrust his hand into the person's stomach or mouth, sending his old Ashen Body straight inside the poor victim. The ash molecules, once inside, promptly vibrate to create heat, cremating the person from the inside, while leaving the exterior skin intact. Once completed, the ash fully fills up the body, putting on the skin and the process is done. Hence, Hans usually avoids combat to prevent damage to the skin, but if pressured or he no longer needs to continue imitating his target, the Ashen Body will bulge in musculature, cracking the now useless skin as ash streams out. Also, as imitating the appearance of the person does not come with their memories, Hans has to interrogate the target through hypnotic suggestion or kidnapping and interrogation through torture, the latter of which has been frequently exploited by Hans to pretend as if he is the now deceased kidnappee when people come to rescue him.
