Appearance
Idris is a handsome man of impressive height and imposing build due to having been in good physical shape at the time of his embrace. He aged gracefully and when he shaves can easily pass off as being younger than he is, with some grey in his beard and hair being the most visible signs of his mortal age. Those who know about the Assamite Curse of Growing Darkness often assume he is older than he really is due to his dark skin. Truthfully, although he is London-born, he was of mixed west-African descent and this was reflected in his naturally dark skin. His time as an Assamite has darkened this a little, but not overwhelmingly so. To those who look at him with otherworldly senses, the Curse of Prominence is apparent and sparkles of mystic power are reflected in his aura.
Idris usually dresses in smart suits that complement his "British gentleman" look and professionality, yet give enough room for him to conceal his signature weapons. When he is on the hunt, he has a leather overcoat that he likes to wear for its resiliency - though he is equally likely to wear it during rainy weather.
Background

Mortal Society
Idris is known as a private investigator who is willing to take on "strange and unusual" cases that the police or other agencies won't - or when the trail goes cold. He tries to work with the police and not cause too many problems (or make himself seem crazy to mortals by informing the police that the missing child was actually taken by changelings). As he has connections and experience in areas the Ashford Police do not and a high success rate on these strange cases, he has managed to cultivate enough connections within the APD that he is often brought in as a consultant for strange cases, or has people referred to him by the police when their investigations grow cold or their hands are tied. This occupation allows him to investigate (and when necessary, deal with) supernatural activities - which could be as simple as aiding a masquerade cover-up, or hunting down an actual Demon. He has connections with the Kern Paranormal Society (if you can call 6 supernatural enthusiasts, most of who have other day jobs, a society) and, through them, to other connected paranormal societies which are useful for keeping an ear out for things that he deems worthy of investigation.
To his chagrin, whilst getting the assistance (in return for some training) from Vivian Gosiengfiao, Vivian jokingly referred to him as "Black Constantine" (a reference to the famous DC Comics and movie character) around some of his police contacts, and the nickname seems to have stuck as an in-joke amongst his police allies. Vivian has recently also nicknamed him "The Black Wolf" (this time a reference to "The White Wolf" - the nickname of the main character from the Witcher novels, Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter) as she is of-late obsessively sweeping through all the Witcher series of books.
Despite his reputation as a paranormal investigator, Idris works (and is licensed) as a normal paranormal investigator as he claims there are not sufficient paying supernatural-oriented jobs to pay the bills.
Personality
Although Idris is an imposing man with a gruf voice, and a demon hunter from a Clan of vampire assassins, most are surprised to discover how friendly and amiable Idris is. Idris was raised in a loving home and spent three decades as a police officer during a time of respect and politeness - and whilst he's not a socialite in a Toreador or Ventrue sense, he is sociable enough to be easy to get along with. Driven since his mortal youth, he cares passionately for his cause of making the world a better place by destroying the evil monsters that prey on humanity (vampires obviously except, for the most part...) and is sympathetic and helpful to those affected by his quarry. Despite this, he knows that demon-hunting is both a dangerous job and that he has to care about the greater good - and sometimes that means he cannot save (or worse, must sacrifice) an innocent for the greater good. This has affected him over time and although he has hung onto his humanity, he is not the compassionate individual he once was and some fear that, if he does not find a way to connect to his humanity, in time he may become the type of monster he presently hunts. When not on the hunt, Idris enjoys jokes, dancing and music (he has developed a special fondness for R&B music).
