I am feeling a kind of a Mack the Knife inspiration: he is probably a pirate, looks like a "shark with teeth like razors" that he "wears them in the face" and you "see them white and red", but he has also a knife that he can hide before striking. Could he be based on Captain Macheath (who was originally a highwayman but who, in John Gay's second opera, does become a pirate)?
