After a little consideration I think I'd rather leave Dahlia to be a rogue being and get a new idea for a Keeper. I believe I want to do something truly monstrous this time.

Compendium Entry:
[i]The Flesh that Hates[/i] - An eldritch abomination. The Flesh that Hates is technically the name of everything infected by it, be it plant, animal, or human, but most easily definable is the core being, the one in which this vile virus originated, referred to as Progenitor. The Flesh that Hates is a virulent skin disease, spreadable by contact, that causes flesh to undergo massive growth and mutation within a few hours of infection. Once the infection has thoroughly taken root, the infected individual will become stationary and can mutate further. Biomatter slush can be channeled along large vein and into specialized structures where it is shaped into other forms. The way in which the Flesh that Hates was released in this age indicates that it has existed, sealed away, for hundreds if not thousands of years. In short, the Flesh that Hates is a magical pathogen that makes a mockery of life.

[i]The Progenitor[/i] - The one in which the plague began. This being was once a man, who labored as a slave along with dozens of others under the dominion of a Cypriot fief roughly sixty miles southeast of Amplus. In the process of his work on a massive excavation, the man stumbled upon a strange jar covered in disgusting pictures. When he broke the seal under the order of an overseer, he found a twisted hunk of meat inside. Before he could react, the thing sprang to life and bit him on the hand, burrowing into his skin and making him into the Progenitor. While he is the same size as a normal man if not a fair bit fatter, the key difference lies in his skin. All hair has fallen off and his skin is rough and calloused. Down the front of his chest, from navel to throat, is a vertical mouth lined with teeth. The Progenitor has the ability to control the mutations of the infected to a degree and command them. He wears a navy blue, hooded cloak that falls to his ankles.
