Dorian Gray syndrome (DGS) denotes a cultural and societal phenomenon characterized by a

man's extreme pride in his personal appearance and the fitness of his physique, which
is accompanied by difficulties in coping with the requirements of psychological maturation and
with the aging of his body.
Now that Dorian has corrupted other people and committed murder, he knows that he has fully
given up on trying to live a good life and can be considered evil. In his mind's eye he sees Basil,
who appears as a timeless paragon of goodness, as well as memories of his former life,
and Dorian cannot bear the guilt.

1453, Dorian must be at least 400 years old.
