Behind his mask hides his deepest secret… that he was, in fact, once mortal. He stood among those last great magi of the old Gods and he too gave his life in their great casting. What he did however, was not what was intended. Rather than concentrate his full power upon forging the seal, he diverted some to subtlety to undermine the others' work and to infuse his own will into the great darkness beyond.
Over the eternity that has since passed he has become a locus of control within the darkness… A lone whisper in the dark. He is not THE darkness, but he is OF it. While the seals remain intact, the full might of this darkness remains locked away. His greatest asset is the greed of mortals as he manipulates them into drawing the his infectious power into themselves and allowing yet more to seep into the world. The most dangerous of enemies you could ever face.
