## Appearance

At first, before returning as president of Criasu in episode 23, His position was taken by a shadow of himself. This version is shown to have long grey hair and bright red eyes. In this time as George wandered around Hagukum, he wore a white top with black pants and shoes.

After making his return George wore more formal clothing composed of a white top with a pale yellow design lining the neck and a pair of black pants with indigo fabric lined in gold wrapped around his waist. His dark indigo point-toe boots have silver detail and a yellow gem sewn to the middle. Over his outfit is a pale blue jacket with indigo designed lining and three sets of straps at the middle. The lapel is black and has a yellow gem on each corner to match his sleeve cuffs. On the left shoulder is a pad with a silver button, while the right shoulder gains a black and gold section attached to an indigo pleat fabric and cape. He has black hair and small eyes. His face makes him appear tired and aged.

## Personality

He is a gentle and kind man and always holds a book with him. He confesses to Hana that his dream is a future where everyone is smiling. His aims to achieve this dream by freezing time so that nothing can move forward and happiness stays static.

However, it turns out that his kindness is a facade. In fact, he’s actually a delusional man who’s extremely obsessed on accomplishing his dreams with every method, no matter how unethical it is. He even tried kidnapping Hugtan for the latter’s presumable powers just to satisfy his obsession of shaping an impeccable future. He is also cold and unfaithful, since he cheated on Papple without any remorse.

Despite this twisted outlook, George seems to have a deep interest in Hana and often stalks her. During his investigations, he always sees her based by intrusion or pure coincidence. The connection was empathized by flowers; George paints a flower scenery on the canvas, which signifies his attachments and dreams as well as Hana's Cure form which is represented by the aforementioned flowers. This was enforced by their shared dream and George seemingly loss of his loved one from the future that motivated his actions.
