I've been mulling the possibilities of having an albino character for some time and every once in a while there's an article like this which makes me think the idea has legs.
Has anyone ever tried using this rather macabre factor in their baiting?

Burundi albino boy 'dismembered' Albinos in Tanzania have become targets for body-snatchers seeking to sell them to witch doctors The dismembered body of a young albino boy has been found in a river on the Burundi-Tanzania border, reports say.
The boy, aged nine, was taken from Makamba province in Burundi by a gang that crossed the border, the head of Burundi's albino association said.
Kassim Kazungu told AFP the remains had been recovered from the Malagarazi river and given a formal burial.
Albino body parts are prized in parts of Africa, with witch-doctors claiming they have special powers.
Mr Kazungu told the AFP news agency that Tanzanian police had arrested five people, although there was no official confirmation from Tanzania.
In Tanzania, the body parts of people living with albinism are used by witch-doctors for potions which they tell clients will help make them rich or healthy.
Dozens of albinos have been killed, and the killings have spread to neighbouring Burundi.
In August a court in Tanzania sentenced a Kenyan accused of trying to sell an albino to 17 years in jail and a fine of more than $50,000 (£41,200).
Tanzanian authorities have promised to crack down on albino traffickers, and several people have been sentenced to death in connection with killings

From a 2009 BBC article
Quote: |
One year ago, Mariam Staford Bandaba, an albino woman living in Tanzania, was viciously attacked by a machete-wielding gang who tried to kill her and sell her remains for witchcraft.
She escaped with her life, but only just.
The attackers chopped off one of her hands - the other had to be amputated in hospital, where she spent weeks recovering from her horrific injuries.
Traumatised, Ms Staford Bandaba then took the brave step of identifying her attackers.
She was taken to a safe-house where she lived under government protection.
But the government recently decided she could no longer live there, leaving the 28-year-old fearing for her safety.
The administrative officer in the village where she was re-housed, Erasmus Rugarabamu, told the BBC Swahili service that the situation had improved and no albinos had been killed in her home village in the north-western Kagera region in the past year.
The decision by the authorities comes just a few weeks after a court sentenced three men to death for the murder of an albino boy.
Ms Staford Bandaba is one of thousands of people with albinism who live in fear in Tanzania.
Her harrowing tale has become commonplace in a country where 53 albinos are believed to have been murdered in the past two years....

This could make for some interesting reactions from lads especially if it were combined with references to juju, ritual killings, etc. You might get some very interesting responses from the lads if these topics were to come up in the course of a bait. |

^^^That was the idea.
I'd thought of a character who was in the market for albino body parts, or who was reputed to be so.
Or in contact with someone who was. |
