Character Description
A large brutish dynast slave from the Imperial City. His master kept him as toy to be whipped, starved and beaten on a whim. One day his master summoned a blood ape, but the summoning went terribly wrong. In a blaze of green radiance his master was gone, leaving but a shadow where he once stood. The free demon spotted the slave cavorting in the corner and turned upon him as well. For a moment, the slave stood tall, and gazed fearlessly into the malevolent heart of the demon... but only for a moment.
He turned and ran.
He ran for a day through the streets, homeless and in rags. At nightfall he slunk into an alley and huddled in the trash. That's where the Blood Ape found him, and offered him a chance for revenge as one of Malfeas' Chosen. He accepted.
Now, all he wants is to tear down the Realm and the hated Dragon Bloods with his bare hands, and force them to give him the respect he deserves. The clockwork prosthetic within his chest empowers his hatred, ticking away the days of the Realm, second by second. Once released back into Creation, he was soon found by a wily Sidereal who managed to ensnare the monster before too much harm had been caused. The creature now sits again caged, fuming. Released only as his master wills, and caught again soon after whatever grisly work has been done.
His skin has been turned slightly brassy, tinged with verdigris by his time in Malfeas. A shaggy mop of black hair frames his muscular, square face. Deep set glittering emerald eyes blaze with malice beneath his thick brow. Thick, muscular limbs ripple with every movement.
