Age: 23

Race: Human

Appearance: [url=http://www.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Mage-269331543] Elyias [/url] Elyias' eyes are a gold color almost like a beast of prey they seem to hunger but not for food or game but for power. Underneath the hood his hair is sandy blonde color his hair curls at the tips when it gets wet.

Abilities: Dark Magic: Elyias very much believes in fighting fire with fire, without his staff he might only be able to throw around basic spells and hexes. But with his staff he is quite the master of the dark able to curse and throw around large spells to cause havoc among his enemies.
 The Staff: Elyias sold his soul to a demon that resides in the staff so he could use it to the fullest extent of his abilities. This staff is the source of his power and is what makes him a pretty powerful mage of the shadows. Without the staff he is pretty weak but there is potential to be trained
 Intelligence: Elyias is incredibly well read and is often thinking of strategies as soon as he walks into a room, his intelligence and the staff add to his arrogance a little but without the staff you won't see him gloating

History: Elyias was born into a mage family, they were all pretty powerful in their own element, the sixth and youngest child in the family Elyias was the weakest, his siblings would pick on him for this. But his mother and father noticed he inherited his great grandfathers affinity to the darkness and so thus set him as the next guardian to a staff that had been in the family for three generations, a staff that was possessed by a demon. It was the source of his great grandfathers strength for a long time, but it came with a price the selling of your soul but Elyias didn't take the contract with the staff not caring if he was the weakest he valued his soul.

Elyias grew older compensating for his lack of power with books and studying, some of his older siblings left the nest and some stayed but everything changed shortly after he turned 15, The Umbra invaded and his family made a valiant stand to defend the house but him being pathetically weak hid and listened as one by one his family was murdered. When the soldiers left he found the staff and vowed vengeance at any price and filled the contract with the staff selling his soul to it for revenge. Ever since that night he has been hunting and hurting the Empire where he can and lusting after power.

Eventually his quest for revenge and power lead him to the rebels in hiding where he swore himself to their service if they would have him. They took him hesitantly and still to this day they keep him at a safe distance, afraid he might snap and kill someone or just frightened of someone who uses dark powers at a whim.
