Marilyn Manson interviewed for Den of Geek, the link in the tweet is broken,
HERE is the actual link. There is a lot of weird and wonderful info there about Manson, a few excerpts from the interview about his character:
* Brannon Braga claimed nothing truly bizarre happened on the Salem set until Manson came along. Braga described his character, Thomas Dinley, as a cross between Vidal Sassoon, Jack the Ripper, and Sweeney Todd, and that he'll provide some comic relief that the show has been lacking.
* Dinley is a barber who doubles as a surgeon, an apothecary and drug dealer, an alchemist motivated by gold. Manson describes the character as a “childish sort of sociopath who, when looking at a body, live or dead, was curious about what was inside."
