Gentleman Altered

"You must face facts, dear boy. Humanity is dead. Rebuilding sounds noble on paper, but impossible in practice. Like it or not, evolution is here. And there's only one real choice. You either adapt....or you fail."

- The Gentleman Altered's first plea for Evan to join The Altered

The Gentleman Altered (Their true name lost to time) is a major villain in Kamen Rider: The End. An Altered that fights for the Core=Heart and it's Altered hordes in the hopes of establishing what he believes is a superior civilization. He uses the Skeleton Rider Gear to defeat his master's enemies and spread infection. He is implied to be one of the first Altered.

Personality
The Gentleman Altered is a villain of fancy and proper etiquette. While he's all too happy to spread the Altered contagion, he's also polite about it. He's kind even to his enemies and keeps his cool in just about every situation he finds himself in. If given the choice between violently infecting an enemy and talking them into doing it themselves, he'll always choose the latter. Unlike the rest of the Altered, he also displays remorse for the world's current state, leading into something of a nihilist philosophy solidified around using Humanity as a stepping stone to making a new civilization. He's just as dignified in combat, preferring to battle his enemies on equal footing and does his best not to resort to underhanded tactics like the rest of his colleagues, often to the direct chagrin of the Core=Heart. He seems to have developed something of a friendship with Evan as well. While willing to fight him for the sake of his goals, he also doesn't mind having chats with him, and even teamed up with him on an occasion against a rogue Altered.

Despite his charming personality however, even he has his limits when pressed to the brink. When cornered, the calm facade comes off and a darker, desperate persona emerges. His desire for a new world is still there, but he becomes less affable and more savage in this state.

Appearance
In his human disguise, the Gentleman Altered appears as a late-aged Caucasian-American man about sixty years old. He dresses in a pristine black tuxedo-shirt/pants combo. The names he goes by publically vary.

His Altered Form is a fleshy brown-colored scaled humanoid figure with various wings throughout the body and a featureless face.
