Khelekgundhal is a demon lord. He is a shapeshifter and has no true form, however he prefers three different forms.

First form is a demonic looking humanoid in diabolical looking black and silver field plate. He has three horns sprouting from his bat-like head and bat wings sprouting from his back. This is kind of his default form, which he mostly identifies himself and which he usually takes in dealing with beings who could be considered his peers. His second form is that of a giant star-nosed mole covered with metallic scales. The “star” nose is used as a mass of tentacles (with great versatility due to his shapechanging nature). This form is his primary form for doing battle with armies/crowds of mortals. He has enjoyed many a surprise attack by burrowing into a strategic location. His final form has a few variations depending on circumstance and is for pleasure seeking moments. I'll leave it to your imagination if you don't mind.

Over his considerable lifetime he has mastered many hidden magiks and mind powers in addition to being an expert in multiple forms of combat. At the height of his power he was formidable foe for most gods.

The Worm -

Khelekgundhal has something inside of him which he calls the Worm. It has never been seen. However, it feels to him like a worm with razor sharp teeth forever chewing it's way through him (at times with incredible speed). Without a doubt this causes him an extraordinary amount of pain. His natural rate of healing tends to keep him alive despite this thing which seems determined to eat him from the inside out. Strangely the worm seems to have some kind of telepathic link with Khelekgundhal. It stops eating him for several hours at a time after Khelekgundhal his made a kill (sometimes days after a massacre). This has prompted Khelekgundhal to go into beserk rages in the past, lashing out at anything and everything just to get some relief from the pain. He has gone through great lengths to remove the thing from his body, utilizing his own shapechanging ability, magic, psionics, self mutilation, bargaining with other beings of extreme power but no one can seem to detect the Worm let alone get rid of it. Once every 97 years the worm falls asleep as it were and “disappears” for approximately 13 months giving Khelekgundhal some rest. After the 13 months, Khelekgundhal always faces the return of his tormentor.

History – short version

The Beginning

Khelekgundhal was born many tens of thousands of years ago, he honestly can't remember, it feels like an eternity. With his own birth came the birth of the Worm. His parents immediately noted his troubles and tried to direct his rage against their enemies. The details of that conflict are forever lost although it can be noted that both the enemy of the hour and his parents did not survive, all slain at his hands.

A Time of Strife

Afterward he became a slave to his passions and embraced the bloodlust to seek the relief it provided. During this time he used dimensional travelling to pick different worlds to attack and get his fill. The enemies he created are countless. After a time, and multiple near death experiences, Khelekgundhal realized he could not go on this way and a hope that this could end and he could get control of himself began. He searched many years for a cure before falling back into his carnage “rut”. And again for the cure. Back and forth many times he went. In his bargainings, many bad deals were made and from some of the “unbreakable” contracts that were formed, he was forced into slavery to evil gods for a few centuries. After that, there was a time when he embraced pure evil. He moved completely into a fantasy dimension which was controlled by a small patheon of five dieties. Using trickery he learned from his unsavoury acquaintances, he managed to capture and imprison all five dieties. He spawned several new races of demons and worked at corrupting the mortals hoping to use their souls as currency to buy his cure. The mortals of the dimension he chose were sadly (for him) quite resistant to darkness and caused no end of trouble for him, constantly slaying his demon servants, invading his fortress, and otherwise resisting his efforts. During one such terrible time, Khelekgundhal lost his temper and began to destroy a city. With the worm pacified momentarily, Khelekgundhal felt a new pain as he looked down upon the body of a young child he had just slain. He felt like a slave again and his anger took him away from the battlefield that hour.

A Time of Learning

Khelekgundhal began a quest for the most powerful magics known. He was determined that if no one could help him, he would have to develop a cure himself. He explored numerous dimenions in his pursuit of magic. For a century or so he was deeply interested in potions that have the strength to permaneantly alter the imbiber. He also expanded his mind and unleashed many dormant psionic abilities. One day, to his utter dismay, he learned he needed the blood of his parents to cure himself. A decade of further searches left him hopeless. He was certain he could not be cured without the blood which had long since been spilt.

A Time of Teetering

At this time, Khelekgundhal was experimenting with everything. He married several times during his breaks. Sadly the relationships did not last much past the 13 months. He went on several good crusades just for the experience, he suffered torturous surgeries in an attempt to catch the Worm, he granted a mortal “3 wishes”, he tried to make a new race of dragons, he got some revenge on one of his former “masters”, he enchanted himself with a strong empathy spell and instilled in him every emotion felt by humans for up to one month an emotion, he tried to create a moon, he joined in a demon sponsored attack on a devil's operation, and he became a vicious rooster (attacking a farming community and creating a new poultry phobia), just to name a few of his endeavours. (Basically, he's tried everything)

Recently....

A demon servant of a friendly “acquaintance” (Khelekgundhal has no friends, only underlings, acquaintances, and enemies) showed up at Khelekgundhal's fortress. He promised a cure based on an ancient ritual magic stolen from an Old One's mind as it slumbered. The ritual involved the building of a throne made of angel skulls, a rare dragon skin, huge diamonds, his own blood, unicorn horns, and many other rare and 'near impossible to locate' ingredients. The servant insisted the cure was guaranteed and when cured Khelekgundhal would turn over his whole operation (including the 5 imprisoned dieties, underlings, and so on) as payment. Khelekgundhal was skeptical but agreed as this was just an agreement with no blood signatures and contracts.

With the throne all but complete, Khelekgundhal sensed the power of the artifact he was building and gave into the excitement of the moment. A greater demon underling of his then warned him an intruder was spotted in the fortress, but Khelekgundhal ignored the warning as intruders were not that rare. With the throne complete he sat in it and activated it using the power words.

Suddenly he found himself in a far off dimension, lying on a straw matress in a building of some kind. Hovering over him was a hooded figure. Realizing he'd been betrayed, he invoking his Storm of Metal Splinters spell and attempted to destroy his betrayer. The spell, which usually kills anything you're looking at, fizzled into nothingness. Reaching out with his mind he attempted to turn his opponents mind into a little puddle of grey mush. Again no effect. He tried to rise but the figure easily kicked him down. It was then that he realized he was in a human body.

The figure then gave him a monologue about how sweet the revenge was, how pathetic Khelekgundhal is, and how he could kill him right now so easily but how he wanted to watch Khelekgundhal suffer. Promising to return later to finish the job, the specter vanished.

Khelekgundhal lied on the bed for a few moments more narrowing the list of his enemies who could pull this off and reached a number of almost 50. Suddenly the revelation hit him, he didn't have the Worm with him anymore. With that an innkeeper opened the door and promptly evicted the impoverished stranger who apparently snuck a night's sleep at his inn.

Sailing - Good
Rope Tricks - Good

Personality:

Appears easy going. Likes to be your best friend right off the bat. Knows how to get people to feel at ease around him and able to confide in him for almost any reason telling him all sorts of delicious gossip. Inwardly he is lonely and hidden. He doesn't feel like people know him even after a perfect conversation. Perhaps it's due to his carefully crafted lies which he has used in his profession over the years. The truth and lies get blurred. He isn't really a hateful person. But he doesn't like old money and usually picks them to rob. He doesn't believe people should be given a free pass in life. His sense of justice also doesn't like those who use their money in the oppression of the poor and defenseless.

Bio:

Born the second son of Markus Petrel, a butler to House Redskew in the city of Mannaz, he learned to read and write at an early age and showed great promise with his ability to write beautifully. As part of the duties of the butler, Flint scribed many letters for the lord of the house at his father's request. Markus had a horrible gambling problem so he started the horrible game of stealing from his Lord often a few things and planting a stolen object among a fellow servants belongings getting them fired and often arrested, along with the public humiliation in the stocks. Flint learned of it and helped his father in his thefts, when he father put pressure on him and told him what would happen if anyone found out. Flint learned how to lie and steal from his father. His father also taught him to hate the lord of the manor, which was easy because Lord Redskew was a piece of work. Eventually the day of reckoning came and Markus was caught and thrown in prison. The two boys Darius and Flint were thrown out on the street.

Darius found work in the local Mage's guild and convinced Flint to come along again to work as scribe. That went well for a while until Flint's sticky fingers ended on taking several things that weren't his. At the time he didn't really think of it as stealing, just getting things he needed to live comfortably. He was caught and reprimanded harshly but there was some lenience shown because the items taken weren't valuable and Flint didn't sell the or try to do anything with them other than everyday use. Not long after, with that 'title' of thief hanging over him and feeling like everyone was watching him and judging him. Flint quit work at the Guild. Darius remained with the Guild.

Flint found work as a cabin boy aboard a sea vessel and soon ran into unsavory individuals who helped Flint get even better at stealing and lying. Flint became very attached to one such sailor Grey Garrows. Grey convinced Flint to join another vessel a pirate vessel at the next port. Among the pirates, Flint felt overwhelmed by the tide of evil which he lived. He learned many things while with the pirates about knife fighting and throwing, sailing, brawling, and drinking. He was given his magical tattoo here and developed his poison immunity to several different ingestable poisons. Finally after being involved in a despicable heartless act of cruelty to the crew of a certain merchant vessel they robbed. Flint decided it was time to leave piracy. Next time to port, Flint left the ship and never looked back.

Eventually his money ran out and he began to look for honest work this time, swearing to himself he would live right and maybe get married and do some good. But the only employment he could find was as for a noble as a footman. The noble paid him horribly and often docked his pay for the most trivial 'infractions'. Not only that the noble treated his own family very poorly. He beat his wife and daughter. Not to mention female servants as well. He threatened Flint even on a number of occasions. One day after the noble beat his wife. Flint decided he had enough. That night he woke early crept through the house and stole a large number of very valuable items that were small enough to carry.

And he left never looking back. So began his life of crime...

22 year old werebat

Sneaking - Expert

Shortsword - Good
Shortbow - Good

Abilities & Weaknesses -
Rapid Healing
Vulnerability to Silver (Heals normally to wounds done by silver and has additional pain factor)
Nocturnal
Exceptional Hearing
Nightvision

(All other abilities are only in bat form)
Echo Location
Flight
Poisonous Bite (Paralytic and causes Lycanthropy in the victim of the werebat strain)

Personality - Normally quiet, reserved, kind, and sensitive... especially to light as his condition requires. Very tactile... likes to touch things. But is prone to periods of depression and guilt when he's confronted with the real horror of his condition. As a bat he loves ambushes and sneak attacks. He is methodical in hunting preferences.

Bio -
Heskel was the only child of a single mom. He's known poverty his whole life. His favorite thing to do with his mother was to sing together while they worked. Heskel loved to run it was his favorite activity as a child. As he got older he had an opportunity to deliver a military message, when a messenger was thrown from his horse.. Apparently the message was timely enough that he was tipped well and hired by the military. He became a drummer boy for the marching troops and eventually advanced to a messenger when it was discovered he had a knack for picking up new languages and then his training to become a scout began. His speed and eagerness to please made him a favorite of his commanding officers. He would always send all his money home to his mother.

One night he was delivering a message when he was attacked by something big an hairy which bit him... paralyzing him... if it weren't for a patrol to come across his location he might have died to the creature that attacked him. His body convulsed and was racked with pain as 'changes' happened in his body. He noticed his hearing improve dramatically and when he heard the alchemist confirm the diagnosis of lycanthropy and that the boy would have to be 'put down'. He fled for his life.

He managed to escape and found a small community to grow up in. He carried on work as a courier. After a few full moon incidents. He realized that he was a monster. He tried many things to try to stop himself from being evil. But nothing seemed to help. He was close to suicide when he found a pair of silver manacles on a peddlar's cart. Buying them, he found he could properly restrain himself on nights of the full moon. The more he did the more he and his 'inner bat' merged. He seemed to retain more of its abilities during the day but also more of its quirkiness. Finally he found a way he could live and be content with himself. Still... at the end of the day... he had murdered people while unconscious in bat form. He knew this... and in a way he still hates himself for it.

When the vampires took him, he felt that he was finally getting a measure of justice that was owed to him. Until... he met Vilotta. For Bats & Butterflies with my dearest @GoddessSophia

Bio - Sphyrell has lived a dragon's life. He was born in a clutch of 15 other dragons. His instincts had him devour two of his brothers shortly after his birth before fleeing the birthing den. To his knowledge, only five others survived the birthing den. His life mostly let a dragon's course. His accomplishments required frequent moves... typically when the dragon slayer's began to show up, he would move his horde to a new location. He has moved at least 350 times in his life although he can't be sure. He has believed his mobility is the key to his success. The older Sphyrell gets the longer his naps seem to be. He has recently woke from a 126 year nap when the earth shook. His cave partially collapsed and he had grown in that time requiring more shedding. He is now hungry and on the move and very irritable about being woken early. It did not take him long to find the source of the trouble. But even his special flame could not pierce the armor of the demon which threatened to split the continent.

Holy Water/Symbols
White Oak: Fatal~Turns to ashes
Too much sunlight weakness his powers~the older he gets, the more tolerance he has
No Reflection/Shadow

Strengths:
Regenerates in moonlight
Consumption of blood, makes it easier to regenerate faster

Personality: When people hear the words Vampire and Warlock, they instantly think the words ‘Evil….Manipulating….and cruel.’ describe this young Noble. But they could not be more wrong. Dorian is a compassionate, smart young man. He protects those that deserve it; watching over them from the shadows at night. He can be seen as an Introvert; preferring to stay away from big crowds for long periods of time. Even as a supernatural he hyperventilates and has a panic attack with a big crowd around him.
The ladies would describe him as charming, romantic, gentle and a loving man. His dashing looks; soulful brown eyes and his enigmatic personality almost make him seem like a human being, making it easy for him to blend in. However, Dorian is also a bit of a worrier; he fears for his own future, losing his humanity and never experiencing love.

Bio: His mother Julietta was a powerful Witch, that came from a poor background, whilst his father Darius was a powerful Vampire and a well respected Nobleman from an important family. His parent’s union was forbidden and frowned upon; therefore it had to be kept secret. However it wasn’t long before his parents married and Dorian was conceived...their marriage and the birth of their son exposed the relationship; which ended up with his mother being captured, tortured and burned at the stake for her powers...for her sins and for breaking the law. His father was heart-broken and decided to give up his one and only son for adoption. Dorian ended up being raised by an old, kind mortal lady that never had any children; she gave him a loving home and a loving parent. She's always been a big part of his life and he's thankful for so many things she's done for him; he's the only parent he's ever had. Dorian never knew much of his birth parents until he was old enough to learn about his true bloodlines and heritage.

At first Dorian wanted to blame his father….he wanted to be angry; but something stopped him from acting that way. He realized his father was only doing what was best for him and Dorian sought out his father; but sadly his father had long passed away from grieving over Julietta. The responsibilities of the Noble house were left for Dorian to handle. It wasn't long after that his powers kicked in and be began to discover his true identity as a Vampire/Warlock Hybrid.

With his natural shyness, it took him a while to learn how to be more open and cope with the pressure of taking his father’s place. He tries to avoid big meetings were possible; if things can be handled quickly and effectively all the better. That doesn’t mean he takes his duties lightly; he’s very skilled and knows when it’s time be serious and provide what’s best for his people. Dorian uses his smart abilities to prove that good can overcome evil, and that he can succeed. So far, he hasn’t failed at that challenge and takes on every new day and challenge to the best of his abilities.

Personality
After having surrendered his humanity, Caston loves nothing more than the thrill of the hunt. His favorite prey is human, preferably anyone who would match wits with him or offend his operations, therefore, he would rarely prey on the innocent, but likes to try to control the darker side of humanity through his silver tongue and crazy ventures. His personality is a bit liquid. He can pretend to be someone very nice and loving for extended periods of time. But in the end the objective is always power and control.

History
Olivyr Caston was born the one and only illegitimate child of Jaqueleen Caston. Jacqueleen was the daughter of two different worlds and was trapped in a kingdom where, thanks to her accent and eyes, would never find proper employment or a proper suitor. Forced into prostitution to pay the bills, Jacqueleen was approached on night and made an offer she couldn’t refuse… and conceived… Olivyr. Jacqueleen loved her son, so tried to get out of the deal, she fled the country by boat taking her youthful son with her. Eventually, the father caught up and after being tortured, Jacqueleen was thrown overboard and never seen again.

Olivyr was forced to take a new name by the creature that referred to himself as his father. Now referred to as Deizuul, the youth was trained in the arts of mischief, magic, and cunning, with debauchery, torture, and murder being his entertainment. He was given an imp by the name of Nix, to serve him and amplify his spells, as well as teach him the mysteries of his heritage. Deizuul loathed his father and never forgave him for what happened to his mother. For many many years he lived in fear of his father but obeyed him until his nature was as savage as his father.

One day he had his fill of death and carnage… and he decided to be free of it all. Nix understood what he wanted and agreed to the deed. Deizuul snuck into his father’s room while he slept and took his head. Now the leader of a criminal organization… Deizuul ran it into the ground and ensured that all of its members were captured and executed. At this time Nix abandoned him for a time. At first, Deizuul was granted immunity as a key in bringing the organization down, but the more members of the ‘gang’ were caught the more, Deizuul’s shady past was brought up… and it didn’t take long for him to realize that his immunity wasn’t going to keep him alive or safe. And Deizuul felt obliged to flee the country and go back to his old name. He preferred to be called Caston.

Once he returned to the city of his mother’s livelihood. Caston tried to find honest work and live a good life… but the seed of evil was planted… and slowly the deeds of his past returned. His conscience was so easy to lose and before he knew it he was back dealing with the dregs of society trying to live the easy life and finding pleasure in the misfortunes of others. Nix returned and completed his training. Now the years started to disappear under his reign of terror. But slowly, Caston longed for a change… and looked for a sign that things might be different.

He values loyalty, the arts, and thoughtfulness. He is annoyed by kiss ups, stupid power struggles over things that are trivial to him, interruptions, and incompetence.

History –
0-6 years
Abel was born to unknown parents and left to an orphanage. He was adopted first by a fishmonger, who was abusive and returned Abel to the orphanage when Abel was only 6. Abel was then adopted by the innkeep and put to work cleaning the rooms of guests. The situation wasn’t much better than with the fish monger. Abel was struck with a broom for any failings. Abel finally decided he would leave and collected loose coin that he found in the rooms he cleaned. One day Abel was impressed by a certain handsome devil of a man who seduced women and managed to get them to pay for everything. The con man was kind to Abel at one point and inadvertently became a role model for the young Abel.
6-18 years
Abel worked hard over the years and eventually tended the bar and other higher jobs. He learned how to handle his money and to protect himself against other cons. When Abel was old enough he left the inn, and tried his hand at conning people and found that he had the talent. Although some scams worked better than others. Seeking out his role model, he was conned out of his ill-gotten gains by his idol. This did irreparable damage to young Abel who looked up to the rogue. He left and considered himself just lucky to be rid of his one-time role model. Wanting to leave the con artist scene, Abel became very good at sleight of hand and set himself up to be a magician who could entertain people with cards, coins, handkerchiefs, smoke, and mirrors. Still a measure of deception was sometimes used and eventually some justice caught up with him and he served a year in prison.
18-26 years
Free from prison, Abel found work as a lumberjack. It was extremely difficult work and there was no opportunities in the labor camp where he worked. He learned many things about the creatures of the forest, including the faeries that tormented the lumberjacks.
26-28 years
Abel was recruited into the Galmorix – Veshinal War. As a lowly foot soldier, he offended a superior officer by being interesting to his daughter. Abel was removed from active duty and forced to do mostly undesirable jobs in the back scenes and barred access to the young woman who was interested in him. Fortunately, Abel’s side was victorious in the war, and it didn’t take long for him to be discharged.
28-29 years
Free again, Abel went off to try to restore his livelihood, he wanted to have an easier life, so he decided to try the magic show again. Not long after he’d invested everything he owned in the venture, that he discovered that the market for such entertainment was waning and he had many competitors with very upscale acts. Abel returned to conning. He arrived at one older estate and offered to be the entertainment for the night in exchange for a meal. Little did he realize, he was actually entertaining a vampire! Seth Dominir. Seth was a gracious host and allowed Abel to spend more than a few nights there. Seth enjoyed the sleight of hand and the trick Abel could do. Abel thought he’d struck it rich as he noticed the priceless art that lined the halls of the estate. So after a few amiable days, one night Abel left his room with the intent of stealing some of the wealth and running away into the night. However, he met Seth in the hall. Having been discovered, Abel tried to flee but the vampire was too strong for him. Abel was then locked in the dungeons below the estate until he was ‘persuaded’ to work off his debt.
29-39 years
The next decade, Abel worked for the vampire faithfully, he was treated well and after a few years Abel decided he liked Seth and would remain. As Abel proved faithful, Seth entrusted him with greater responsibilities. One job was that Abel was to be a tracker and ensure that unwanted visitors were chased away.

Wolfrick was sold to the archdevil, Hilte as an infant. Hilte wanted a greater control of the world of men so they trained him, taught him, tortured him, and rewarded him for acts of cruelty and loyalty. Eventually he was given to lessor devils to torment. One imp, Boil, taught Wolfric that his mother was the reason for his suffering and even showed him the contract. His anger was forged into the perfect weapon. Finally the devils felt he was ready, but they wanted to test him. They gave him to a noble who was an advisor to King Larimus. The noble, Remus Mandrake, was in league with the devils to topple the kingdom. Wolfrick arrived and claimed to be Remus's son. It didn't take long before he was involved in events and contests with the other noble's boys. He was vicious but subtle. The kingdom had a tradition of knighting one noble's son during the festival of the swords. Wolfrick killed his two closest competitors and was knighted before their deaths were discovered. The evidence pointed to a pious clergyman's son. Slowly, Wolfric infected the kingdom. Many false accusations were made. Paranoia and darkness started to steal the hearts of many. But like all villains eventually, someone saw something they shouldn't have and the whispers against Wolfric came. Wolfric was arrested and locked up 4 years from the date he arrived in the kingdom. With help from Boil, Wolfric escaped and now begins his search for his mother... that he might slay her for her crimes against him selling him to a vile devil, Hilte.

Disciple of Air Magic -

Breathe Without Air -This spell enables the person affected to function totally without air, whether it be underwater, in a vacuum, or in an area with little or no oxygen. This spell does not protect the person from magic toxins and gases (miasma, cloud of slumber, dragon's breath, etc.) or any other type of magic, but it does protect against natural and man-made gas, smoke, foul odors and pollution.

Cloud of Slumber - This spell creates a 20x20x20 foot (6x6x6 m) cloud which instantly induce magical sleep on all who pass through it. They cannot be roused until the cloud vanishes or they are dragged from it, in which case they will wake in a minute.

Cloud of Steam - This spell creates a cloud of steam that covers a 30 foot area (9 m) up to 90 feet (27.4 m) away. Anyone caught in the cloud, or passing through it, will take heat damage. The steam also temporarily blinds anyone within.

Create Light - The caster is able to magically create a light that is equivalent to a good lantern. The intensity of the light can be changed by a thought. The light can remain stationary or follow the caster. It will not affect vampires.

Create Mild Wind (2 mph/3.2 km) - This spell conjures up a mild wind about two mph (3.2 km). The caster can control the wind's direction and can direct it up to 400 feet (122m) away.

Shocking Grasp - The spell gives the caster an electrical field around their hands. Touching a person will cause that person to be harmed with a powerful shock. This can kill weak individuals but a stun is more likely.

Stop Wind - The caster is able to completely still the wind for a 100 foot (30.5m) radius. No breeze or wind can penetrate this area; all is still. This spell only affects non magical winds gusting under 25 mph (40 km).

Thunder Clap - The caster is able to create a booming clap of thunder that is so loud that it seems to make the air vibrate. This is can be an effective method of intimidation, showing one's anger, power, or simple theatrics. The boom can cause fright in people who aren't hardened or weren't expecting it.

Change Wind Direction - This spell enables the caster to change the wind to blow in any direction he wants. Such a change can be made as often as three times per melee round, within the spell's duration period.

Create Air - The caster creates breathable air in a six foot (1.8 m) area. This is not an air "bubble" so it must be done in an enclosed area, otherwise it will just dissipate. This spell does not work under water.

Heavy Breathing - The caster is able to conjure a mysterious, menacing sound of heavy, labored breathing as if something invisible was lurking about. The caster can mentally manipulate the sound, increasing or decreasing the breathing rhythm and move the sound around up to 60 feet (18.3m) away. The breathing can be heard in a six foot (1.8 m) radius. Those hearing the breathing are likely to become fearful and panicky.

Howling Wind - The caster is able to create a mild wind which creates an ominous, ghostly howling, reminiscent of a banshee's low moaning when death is near. All who hear the wind will become nervous and/or fearful.

Levitate - The caster can lift himself, another person, or object straight up into the air. Maximum weight is 1000 pounds. The maximum height is 150 feet. Levitation is the ability to rise straight up into the air, horizontal movement is impossible without outside help or spells.

Northwind - The warlock is able to create a biting cold wind gusting up to 15mph (24 km). This wind will chill everyone to the bone unless they seek shelter or bundle up; drops temperature to about 10 degrees below freezing.

Silence - Creates an atmospheric condition that enables the warlock to control the air vibrations and muffle any sound.

Air Bubble - The caster is able to create a durable 15 foot (4.6 m) diameter air bubble. The air bubble will contain breathable air for its duration and can be used underwater or in a vacuum. The bubble can be easily pierced and popped.

Lightning - This spell creates a lightning bolt which can be directed at any specific target. The lightning bolt shoots from the casters fingertips.

Float in Air - This spell creates air currents which hold a person or object aloft hovering about one foot above the ground. It can be used to slow someone's descent from a fall or used to float on top of water. Movement is
awkward and slow.

Darkness - This is an unnatural darkness which cannot be dispelled by normal fires. Nightvision and other means of enhanced vision are cut to half by the enchanted darkness. Only the caster is unaffected.

Fingers of the Wind - The caster can conjure a wind and manipulate it to touch, tap, bump, or press against a person or object. It can also put out candles, open and close windows and doors, or move or knock over small items weighing less than 10 pounds (4.5 kg)

Northern Lights - This spell conjures forth a kaleidoscope of swirling, changing colors that dazzle and entrance ALL who behold it. Victims will gaze helplessly into the beautiful dancing colors, not speaking, moving, attacking, etc., for the duration of the light show. All senses return at the spells end. However, the magic is broken if any of the entranced people are attacked!

Resist Cold - The caster is able to resist/ignore the effects of cold functioning without discomfort or ill effects in temperatures as low as zero.

Walk the Wind - This is a sort of limited fly spell enabling those enchanted person to hover up to 20 feet (6 m) above the ground and glide along the wind currents. Air Disciples love to impress people by casting this spell and
walking into the sky as if climbing a staircase. The caster can glide on the wind at speeds of up to 20 mph (32 km).

Wind Rush (60 mph) - This spell creates a short, powerful wind gust at 60 mph (96.5 km) that is capable of knocking people down, knocking riders off their mounts, blowing small objects about 100 feet (30.5 m) away, or creating dust storms. The wind can be directed by the caster at one specific target or a general sweep (maximum wind width 20 feet/6 m). Any character caught by the wind blast is helpless and unable to attack or move forward. It may take additional time to gather up all the items blown away.

History -
When Mardach was created, he knew he was a clone of a man by the name of Jarym. He was even given a fragment of his soul encased in flesh made from dreams and visions. In his first moments of life, he only knew the genie and the very sick looking man. Mardach didn’t know who Jarym was or why he came only that somehow he could help him through his master. Master was the genie who created him. He didn’t know much, he knew the languages of the original Jarym and he knew his heart was broken… in complete pain… but he didn’t know why. He knew his palms contained strange tattoos that moved. He would die for master or do anything for master. His entire purpose was known and he knew he didn’t expect to live very long. He didn’t fight it or argue it. He always, always did what was told of him from master. Master took him away from Jarym to a wonderful world in the clouds and then experiments began. Most were painful as though his heart was being broken into smaller pieces and then being put back together. There were many moments when Mardach wished that the experiments would end and that master would let him sleep… but that day never came.

One day after the pain vanished… Mardach noticed that his skin had turned blue. Master was very upset. It was a very bad day. It was then that the experiments ended. Master told him that a part of his own essence was mixed now with him. That he the clone was now a living soul. That he couldn’t be experimented on anymore and that he’d have to find a life. He gave Mardach his name and put him in a school in the Genie city of Ulniz. Leaving Mardach alone, Mardach was asked if he wanted to learn fast by a genie with a sly smile. Mardach agreed and was transported off dimension to a new world controlled by the genies which held a library. In time Mardach found the needs to sleep and eat and love and live. He also developed a strange interest in learning everything and he spent countless days in the library reading anything that they would let him. Still as the custodians of the library knew he wasn’t a true genie they wouldn’t allow him to read many books. A section of the library was created that he wasn’t allowed to read. At first this didn’t bother him, because there were so many other things to read. And every week, he attended the Air Temple which helped him to learn of the ways of Air. It seemed that he had the affinity to learn the ways of Air. At first the instructor didn’t want him as he wasn’t a true genie. But with time he was accepted. Learning how to bend the winds to his will was fun and natural. He had learned so much at school that he was eager to put his knowledge into practice. Having graduated, he went home to find that his years were his master’s day. His master was again very displeased. Apparently using the temporal distortion to study was a very, very expensive way to learn. And Mardach had spent more than 80 years learning every topic there was to learn. All the subjects were added and tallied and multiplied by the time distortion surcharge. His master was charged the entire debt which was payable immediately. Upset by this, the genie sold Mardach into slavery, but still was out of pocket for the rest. Mardach accepted his fate at the time as genies viewed periods of slavery as natural. He would never say an unkind word about his master.

For many years he worked in the courts of a king in a far off dimension. He learned many life lessons and things about the ways of humans there. He had many days of back breaking labor. He learned to fight and kill another living creature. He was working his way up in the world and the king was pleased with him. Until one fateful night he vanished.

Three Guild students in Mannaz, who had heard of the tales of the genie went into the summoning chambers. They had a deal. Each one would get one of the wishes. Their teachers didn’t know what they were doing. They had searched every Air dimension… and it seemed like there was literally nothing that they could get their hands on in the Air worlds. So one night Jazmin told the others that maybe the genies were protected in their home realm… that maybe they should search parallel worlds to find a genie… not under the same protection, but trapped in a bottle waiting to be summoned. The three were very excited that night and pooled all their money for amplification crystals.

They were very surprised when Marbach appeared in the circle. They all rushed to make their wishes. Marbach didn’t want to leave the world he was just in. He turned to escape the open portal but the greedy students closed it first for fear he would escape. He just stared at them for a while, before finally telling them that he didn’t have the power to grant wishes. The students were close to sending him back when a teacher arrived and told to leave the chambers at once. The teacher tried to banish Marbach but it didn’t work. He told the students that if the blue skinned man wasn’t dangerous, they would have to take me home with them and book more time to banish the blue man then.

The students left upset and not sure about what happened. Marbach didn’t like what happened and didn’t like the students and their greed. As they were discussing what to do with him and what a strange thing it was that the teacher couldn’t banish him… he mentioned that he was a living soul and student immediately clammed up and a plan was made and Marbach was smuggled out of the guild halls.

History -

Tybalt was born in a fantasy world, not unlike this one. His family carried the bloodline of Akriel the Archangel. Not having had many Archons born to the family in recent generations, he was immediately put into a protective custody he might describe as a prison. He was taken to a Cathedral where he was forced to worship a god by the name of Kormath. Although he didn't like his life and was unhappy, he didn't rebel against the priests or his family. He did grow increasingly distant from authority. Sometimes at night he'd sneak out and heal people who were sick or injured.

One day, the shadow gate opened near the cathedral and a few shadow monsters stalked the area, claiming numerous victims. The people grew desperate for a hero... and eventually the priests of Kormath sent the Archon to close the rift. Tybalt was met by the Shadow Master himself, who offered to recall the beasts and closed the rift if Tybalt would enter the shadow realm and serve him for a number of years. Tybalt at first refused, but after he was defeated and seconds from death he agreed. The town was saved but lost their savior.

Tybalt was put through different training in the shadow world. The Shadow Master tried to trade him with various demons, devils, and alien intelligences... but none wanted the Archon. The Shadow Master went silent for many months and finally assigned Tybalt to guard an access point to the shadow world. He was to serve with other humans and half breeds of all kinds. But his loyalty should never sway to the Shadow Master until his time was served.

He emerged from the portal and met the other humans who eyed him suspiciously. He and a small group of shadows were to guard the shadow realm from a threat in this world. He had command of the Stalkers, the Cutthroats, the Ghouls, and a single Shadow Beast.
