AKA,
vampirism! He looks preternaturally young (about mid-20s) despite his ancient life, and will more or less always retain his appearance from when he'd been turned. He has accelerated healing, as well as strength, speed, agility, and reflexes beyond the mortal capacity; for example, he will at times use his speed in combination with his mind powers (
see below ) to make it seem as though he has stopped time for everyone else except himself and a select person (or group of people).
He can only nourish himself on human or animal blood, as regular food can no longer sustain him. As a vampire, he does also still possess blood, which is drinkable to other vampires in small quantities.¹ If a vampire doesn't feed or otherwise allows their health degrade, their appearance will gradually deteriorate— dry, cracked skin, greasy hair, visible veins, etc.
Being a vampire also gives him a vaguely uncanny appearance: fangs, sharp fingernails, and bright amber eyes, and he is otherwise immortal save for death by decapitation, fire, or starvation.
