Evra Von
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evra Von is a fictional character in The Saga of Darren Shan. He lives with the Cirque du Freak and performs as the Snake-boy. He ages normally, unlike Darren who ages at 1/5 the rate as him so even though they are near the same age, Evra seems much older the Darren. Evra was abandoned as a baby because of his 'strange' features. An evil circus took him in for about seven years, until Hibernius Tall took him in to the Cirque du Freak.
