Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: short brown hair, undercut. Deep blue eyes. Tall and muscular build. Often wears warpaint in complicated patterns and colors. When in battle, he wears a rather plain steel armor and his usual red cape. His weapons are his two swords, Agni and Indra, whose blades have been magically enchanted with fire and lightning respectively, and they glow a slight yellow/orange aura.

Personality: silent, reserved, and almost secretive in his manners, Ahriman is often seen as a mysterious figure whose purposes and intentions are hard to know and understand. In his years of study and research, he has developed a rather "pessimistic" philosophy of life. He is convinced the universe is cyclic in nature, and that the current cycle is ending. These are the last years of this aeon, and the coming of the demons represents the final event that will lead to the end of this cycle. Thus, the only deity worth worshipping is the Ouroboros, symbol of change and cyclicality, destroyer and creator of the universe: thus, in these final times of blood and fire shall the world be destroyed by the Serpent, and from its ashes, be reborn. This destiny is implicit in the very nature of the universe: thus, any who tries who oppose the tides of fate is merely a fool, to be wiped away like dust in the wind...

Short Bio: not much is known about Ahriman's life before the coming of the demons. He was a cadet member of an important noble family and a promising philosopher, but when the demons arrived, he soon joined their ranks. He met Kharas on a battlefield, when they were still both young soldiers, and friendship begun to exist between the two. Since then, they fought back to back on many occasions, both of them feeling a mutual respect for each other. In a short time, he found himself at the lead of his own small warband: some soldiers had learned of him and of what he preached, and decided to follow him under the banner of the [url=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WGDZu2KzN3Q/UZOlYRNUI1I/AAAAAAAAAIc/5orzkSgO3xc/s400/ouroboros-1-1.jpg]Ouroboros[/url]. Thus, the Tempel ov the Snake was born: a warband unlike any other, reminescent of a mysteric sect, with Ahriman as the High Priest. Although Ahriman and his followers could not compete in numbers or strenght with other warbands (such as the Leviathan Warriors, Kharas's host), they waged war on the enemies of humanity in a much different manner. While the great warbands led by fearsome demonic warriors could be compared to a hammer, striking down with brute force, the Tempel was more similar to a scalpel. Ahriman and his men had always made extensive use of "alternative" tactics such as espionage, scouting, and magic, in order to be as mobile as possible, and to hit the enemy where it hurt the most. The Knights ov the Tempel were often found far behind enemy lines, striking at the weak points of the enemy and spreading terror in their ranks.

Determination/Initial Goal: openly pro-demon. His greatest ambition is the ultimate conquest and destruction of this world, and he sees Kharas as worthy of respect because of his destructive power.
