Golconda takes the appearance of a portrait of a man wearing a bowler hat facing away from the viewer. Decalcomania appears as a headless man in a trench coat holding a cane. Decalcomania is frequently seen carrying Golconda in his arms. Their designs are based on the works of Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte, also taking their names from two of his paintings.
The two have a third personality named Francis, who manifests when Decalcomania holds Golconda up to his missing head; Golconda's portrait changes to the image of a man screaming in agony and Decalcomania's trench coat opens up. This personality is based on the works of Francis Bacon, another 20th century painter.
