Deceitful Appearance

You think he is someone who is soft and kind-hearted. He puts the needs and desires of others first. You have fallen for him head over heels. You think you see him again and ask him something but the man you see next gives you a cryptic answer. What you don't know is that he is not the noble man that you think he is. The person standing in front of you is not there. This doppelganger desires never-ending suffering. He likes to see fear in his opponents’ eyes as they beg for mercy. This one slaughters several people without an ounce of compassion. His eyes are vacant and his heart is hollow. He is a mercenary without a conscious who does as he pleases. You have not witnessed those acts but you think something is up. You find him again but is he the one you have come to admire or is his appearance deceitful?
