Piebaldism refers to the absence of mature melanin-forming cells (melanocytes) in certain areas of the skin and hair. It is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of melanocyte development.

Common characteristics include a congenital white forelock, scattered normal pigmented and hypopigmented macules and a triangular shaped depigmented patch on the forehead. There is nevertheless great variation in the degree and pattern of presentation, even within affected families.

Although "partial albinism" is a synonym for piebaldism,[3] it is a fundamentally different condition from true albinism. The vision problems associated with albinism are not usually present as eye pigmentation is normal. Piebaldism differs from albinism in that the affected cells maintain the ability to produce pigment but have that specific function turned off. In albinism the cells lack the ability to produce pigment altogether.

Hypopigmented patches of variable extension, irregular, bilateral, symmetrical or asymmetrical, well demarcated, can also be located along the midline on the chin, chest, abdomen and middle third of the limbs. Subsequently, you may see the appearance of hyperpigmented patches in the center or at the edges of the hypopigmented patches or, less commonly, on normal skin.

Piebald hypopigmentation usually does not affect hands, and since we always see Vlad covered from neck to feet (personally we tend to not consider much the informations that we get from the third season, everything is so silly...), can it be possible for him to have the hypopigmentated pattern on his body? Y'know, typical piebald pattern?

(A little unrelated curiosity, and I don't know why I find it amusing and interesting, but Aldo Moro, one of the most famous and important Italian prime ministers, was piebald and he's on the Italian wikipedia page for piebaldism)

Suppose the ever gossipy 'bild.de' for once has it right when they write:

--

"Wussten Lindemanns Band-Kollegen von dem heftigen Solo-Musikvideo? BILD erfuhr aus dem Umfeld von Till Lindemann: Die Band wusste zwar, dass Lindemann den Song „Entre dos Tierras“liebt und eine Cover-Version geplant hat. Aber was genau für ein Video er dazu machen würde – das erfuhren sie, wie alle anderen, via Instagram."

"Did Lindemann's band colleagues know about the violent solo music video? BILD learned from Till Lindemann's environment: The band knew that Lindemann loved the song “Entre dos Tierras” and had planned a cover version. But exactly what kind of video he would make about it – they found out, like everyone else, via Instagram."

would make me wonder if actually someone from Rammstein stepped in after 'that' teaser...

🤔

then again....

it is Bild...

What if it was Banzai who spotted Cheezi in all that chaos, tried his best to lead them back to Ed but alas they got separated again
