A Pillar Man's body is composed of cells that release a digestive acid, which melt the victim at a cellular level, creating the illusion that the Pillar Man is absorbing a victim into its body. The Pillar Men's main method of sustenance is absorbing living beings (including Vampires) via any form of physical contact. These are demonstrated a number of times, such as Santana sniffing out the area like a dog, or Kars being able to detect the number of people in a room via heat signatures.

Pillar Men possess extremely enhanced senses. Santana instantly learned the procedure to dissemble a gun that might have taken a human hours to learn and Esidisi was able to match Joseph in wits. They are capable of perfect recall and are able to instantly analyze and understand the mechanics behind anything including complicated things such as languages, machinery, tactics, systems, and people's minds and actions, within a matter of seconds. The Pillar Men's most dangerous trait is their superior intellect. The Pillar Men are immune to age and disease, and the remaining Pillar Men have lived for thousands of years. With their near-immortality and powers of regeneration, they can survive, endure attacks, and restore their bodies even after being reduced to only their brain. The Pillar Men can freely change and manipulate their bodies to a greater degree and speed than any vampire created by the Stone Masks, being able to dislocate or even break their own bones as well as flatten organs in order to achieve any form they desire. ⚓: The character retired (incapacitated) and/or their fate is unknownĮsidisi revealing his true form High-Level Body Manipulation (👻: The character remains as a soul or ghost) †: The character is deceased and passed on to the afterlife (✩: Subsequent leader / ✦: Leader of their own faction within the group) Led by Kars, this group awakens in 1938 to continue seeking out the Red Stone of Aja, which, combined with their technology of the Stone Mask, will transform them into 'ultimate beings' immune even to the Sun.

The four remaining representatives of this species in the world are Kars, Esidisi, Wamuu, and Santana, in descending order of hierarchy, now called 'Pillar Men' since they were discovered sleeping inside stone pillars. Their near immortality causes them to produce only very few children, as there is little need, and sleep for millennia instead of hours, staying awake for comparable periods. Moreover, these beings are inherently powerful, have athletic physiques exclusively, and have long life spans. An individual being can possess one or several small horns for them, displaying their horns is a sign of honor. The only visible feature that can differentiate them from humans is the horns on their forehead. Their physiology is very different from humans, though outwardly they appear very similar.

They are highly intelligent, extremely strong, and able to manipulate their bodies to a very fine degree however, they are vulnerable to the rays of the Sun and to the Ripple. These beings are now nearly extinct, but used to live hundreds of thousand of years ago in the American continent. The Pillar Men are from a race of ancient, humanoid, super human beings.
