[Right okay so I’ve thought about this one a lot and in terms of being a human, being human makes Tahm not an immortal dick. Just a dick.
Tahm extorts people. In that he will promise them certain advantages that he can provide for them, and when they start to enjoy them, he’ll turn on the heat. In this sense he’s largely a loan shark- and he doesn’t give a damn about who he hurts to get what he wants.
His business relies on the poor and needy and he has a group of people to help him get what he wants- but when it comes to taking it out on them in the last straw, he’ll always do it himself. He’s always the one to hold the gun, or tie the knot, or break the neck.
He doesn’t get attached to people. He left home at 16, never went back to his parents, and refuses all attempts at people trying to contact him. However, if you’re useful to him and you help him get what he wants, occasionally he rewards this. His rewards tend to be over the top, but never generous. They nearly always pan out to be best for him in the long term.
You don’t get in contact with him unless you know who to talk to, and then you’ll be told to wait. He’ll come to you eventually- he’ll wait, make you super desperate, and then arrive like a false saviour.
Looks wise, he looks sleek. He’s the type of guy who unironically wears a trilby but actually pulls it off, completely serious about it. He’s always immaculately groomed, from his hair combed neatly to his moustache and beard trimmed stylishly. He’ll always be wearing a suit- professionalism is important, and you’ll never catch him looking sloppy. To that end I think I see him like Kilgrave, from the Netflix run of Jessica Jones, except a little less clean shaven and most definitely larger and broader. He looks intimidating.
