Douxsaint’s a vaudeville performer who is, in fact, black and white.
He certainly isn’t human, but he tries his best to make it seem so through an extensive daily routine that includes, but isn’t limited to, filing down his tusks and claws.

Times have changed, though, and he doesn’t stick entirely to vaudeville performances — he does regular theater shows, musicals, and even a little bit of ballet (and some burlesque, but you need to pay good money to ever see him do that).
