I don’t know what that means. This Dorian?
This is how it’s been psychologically profiled:
The Dorian Gray syndrome arises from the concurring and overlapping clinical concepts of the narcissistic personality, dysmorphophobia, and paraphilia. Psychodynamically, the man afflicted with DGS presents an interplay among his narcissistic tendencies (“timeless beauty”), his arrested development (inability to psychologically mature), and his use of “medical lifestyle” products and services — hair restoration, drugs (for impotence, weight-loss, and mood modification), laser dermatology, and plastic surgery — in order to remain young.
Although the DGS patient displays diagnostic features of said mental disorders, the syndrome describes a common, underlying psychodynamics of mental illness, which is characterized by narcissistic defences against time-dependent maturation, expressed by actively seeking the timeless beauty of youth. The article Das Dorian Gray syndrom (2005) reported that approximately 3.0 per cent of the population of Germany present features of the Dorian Gray syndrome.
Episodes of major depressive disorder and of suicidal crisis occur in the man afflicted with Dorian Gray syndrome when the defense mechanism activities, the pursuit of eternal youth, fail to indefinitely preserve his handsome face and sculpted physique; usually, anti-depressant drugs and psychotherapy are prescribed and applied to counter his feelings of failure.
Furthermore, if the man misunderstands the self-defensive character of “acting out” the DGS, and continues pursuing the timeless beauty of male youth, without being aware of the psychodynamics of narcissism, then he, as a psychiatric patient, establishes a cycle of chronic psychological depression. In extreme cases of DGS, the man seeks self-destruction, by means either of drugs or with plastic surgery, or both, in order to fill the narcissistic emptiness that is the Dorian Gray syndrome.

Erm, no. Dorian Gray is a play on the color of Dorian marble columns, as in the Doric Order.
A Dorian usurper is a conquerer of savage tribes and a builder of foundations based on juxtaposition rather than dialectic. Physics rather than metaphysics.
I dont blame you for not knowing this. It is a reference to the daemonism that replaces Aristotlean identity, and which drives Parodites and my philosophies.
