Orochimaru from Naruto

When I think Orochimaru.. the first things that pop into my head are snakes, organs, raspy voice and melting faces.
and beautiful, beautiful hair! That pretty much sums him up I think.

I just remember him being untouchably powerful in the beginning, but so powerless later; and he just kind of sizzled out of the story which I found unfortunate.. I may have to re-read that part.
