Sharkface is a Walker from the
Outside, part of the plot to free the monsters—
Naagloshii and the Dark Gods—imprisoned underneath
Demonreach. (ref?)
When it first entered
McAnally's Pub, it appeared like a giant rag ball similar to what is used in a carwash, only spherical in shape as it rolled him creating havoc. When it stood up, it appeared to be humanoid in shape, tall, lanky and covered in a garment made of strips of rags. It was tall enough to hit the ceiling fans, It didn't have any eyes, only smooth skin where they once were, It had pearly skin with stripes like on a shark. Its mouth gaped open minus teeth with a bone ridge where they would be on a human. Its lips were black and black drool dripped down to its chin. It didn't have any hair.

It is also known as "Gatebreaker", "Harbinger", "Feargiver", and "Hopeslayer".

Harry Dresden describes his power as "not greataer than
Mab. But it is horribly, unbearably
deeper that hers".
[2] He is capable of launching an intense wave of despair which he loves using.
[1][2] It can sense the world without eyes, which he does not have.
[1] He can split into multiple identical shapes.

The rag strips on his cloak can defect bullets and grab to surfaces. They can even separate off the main garment and seemingly of their own volition, pick up furniture and throw it with superhuman force.

He is the general of the
Outsiders on the barges.
