Description

Physical appearance

Mandragora-257's various bodies were marked out by his eerie, golden eyes. Beyond this shared traits, both of his known bodies displayed a lightly-colored, scraggly beard and dressed in overwhelmingly purplish-to-burgundy colours. At least one of his human form had an unhealthy, sickly skin tone and a frozen, disconcerting, toothy grin. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids)

Biography

Originally an android belonging to the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, he became a criminal and cheated death, hopping from one body to another, as he was chased through the multiverse by another member of his kind, Pythagoras-858. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids) According to Pythagoras, he “got killed, (…) and then reembodied himself several times over, (…) although never properly.” (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)

When Pythagoras met Jenny Everywhere, he briefly wondered if she might be a new incarnation of Mandragora, but relented when she showed him that her eyes did not have the characteristic golden glow shared by all of Mandragora's sleeves. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids) One of the not-quite-human visitors to the Interdimensional Hotel whom Wendy Severn noticed as she got out of the shuttle which had taken her to Hilbert's did, on the other hand, have “eerie, glowing yellow eyes”, although she did not pay him any mind at the time. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)
