Edward Mordrake was born in the 19th century. He was an intelligent, young, and good-looking English nobleman.

Also, he was believed to be a “musician of rare ability.”

At a very young age, he had achieved fine attainments and was a scholar. He was a figure of grace and was very handsome.

But with all of these blessings, he was with a curse too. In addition to his good-looking face, he had a terrifying second face on the back of his head.

His second face had a girlish appearance. This second face was said to be as “lovely as a dream, hideous as a devil”.

The strange fact about his faces was whenever Mordrake cried, the second face would sneer and smile. And when he smiled and chuckled, the other face would be upset.

Although the other face on his back was a mere mask. This had occupied only a small amount of the posterior part of the skull. But all the signs of this face were of a malignant sort.

The lips of the other face often appeared to be gibbering something. But no voice was audible to anyone. But this creepy second face kept Mordrake away from his rest at night.
