General
Tag:
|: Eternal Darkness |:
Name: Dantalion
Alias: Dark Priest, Harvester, Tall Dark and Creepy
Race: Shadowmancer
Age: OLD!
Alignment: Neutral
Guild/Group Affiliations: NightWorld
Physical
Height: 6'6" as the Priest, up to 15' as the Harvester
Weight: His weight will vary dependant upon his desire to take a true physical shape
Hair: None
Eyes: Red
Skin: None
Attributes: Shadoweave , he is impervious to physical attacks unless having taken the shape of the Harvester or solidifying the shadows that comprise his being.
Flaws: Dantalion is succeptible to light based attacks as he consists of shadows.
Weapons: Shadoweave [see above]
Background: Since the dawn of time there has been a division of the most basic form: the division of good and evil. As with all things there is rarely a time when the extremes are the only examples for which classifications can be made and that leads us to the Shadowmancers. Were the Great War to commence today this is the group of people who would be standing back amidst the shadows, watching and waiting. When the first group of five, known as the Ancients, joined together and began wielding the shadows it was decided then that any who opted to follow in their footsteps would be of a similar mindset with a general aversion to confrontation. This is not to imply that they fear the repercussions of battle because the fact of the matter is quite the opposite. Shadowmancers merely have little or often times absolutely nothing to gain in combat these days. In the beginning the Ancients were hired out by those in substantial positions of power to dispense with those who no longer served a purpose. Of course these were before the days of the modern day assassin and the Ancients were known as Harvesters. The difference between a Harvester and an assassin is that the latter merely removes the life from a husk whereas the Harvester takes life and soul.
Throughout the ages the need for Harvesters has dwindled because those with real power have withdrawn their hand from the dealings of the lesser creatures. Currently they do little more than travel from realm to realm in search of continued knowledge about any and all creatures to report back to the Dark Council or so that information may be passed along to the Ancients. The Dark Council has been dispersed vastly throughout infinite realms to oversee the actions of the Reapers and Apprentices and the only one seen in eons is Dantalion. As the head of the Dark Council and the mediator between said council and the Ancients his presence is often required in places both near and far. Currently Dantalion is doing what he can to reunite the Dark Council, or what is left of it, and has zeroed in on Neqa’el, his oldest and dearest companion. She has been both advisor and friend to Dantalion for more years than he can remember and he believes that once she is found the Harvesters will once again become a prominent and highly respected class.
