Vampir/The Speaker Of Unbearable Truths

Bio

He grew among mere peasants. And because he had nothing do to, he talked to people. But he didn’t talk in the normal sense, he more like showed others that their thinking patterns were incomplete or were based on wrong assumptions. After a while the paranoia among his fellow villagers grew, they accused him of Yozi worship and he had to flee before their wrath. Living in the wild, were the only person you can asked for help is yourself, was very hard. He didn’t die after the first night, but slowly, starvation and dehydration gave way to death. Before his final hour struck, he heard a voice which made him an offer... and he accepted it. During his deathknight training he started hearing voices. At first these were only whispers on the wind, but eventually they turned into screams of eternal pain. That nearly drew him mad. His master saw it, and changed the course of training so that he would learn how to use those voices to his advantage. When the training ended, the Malfeans were satisfied.

Role-playing

You are loyal to your master and obey him without questions. You are mostly happy and friendly, a smile nearly always appears on your face. Your words are truthful but subjective, and the near constant whispers in your head make you seem absent-minded. Anyone who lies to you or doesn't keep his word is your greatest enemy and you will make sure he will die painfully.
