Teron Ashfiend

Inception Hate never dies Appearance Teron Ashfiend (or The Ashfiend as he is often called) stands between six and seven feet tall. He is easily identified by both his height and his armor, the latter being an ancient, scarred and blackened suit of heavy plate armor. The countless scratches and burns almost hide the symbol decorating the breastplate - a vertical sword crossed at the hilt by a pair of weeping, wilting roses - a symbol that has earned him the sobriquet "The Knight of the Weeping Rose." Ancient, black gloves and boots hide away both hands and feet. A tattered cloak, hemmed in faded gold thread, hangs past armored knees. A faded gray scarf masks the lower half of his visage while a low hood seals it within a shadow from which flare his brilliant, unblinking eyes alive with a livid crimson flame. His presence is occasionally felt before he is seen as a great chill follows him about that leeches the warmth from all living things; a chill that becomes quite unbearable should one venture to touch, or have the misfortune of being touched, by him. History Little is known of the Ashfiend before his arrival in Myrken Wood. His arrival nearly coincides with that of Sir Malaroth Deucalios, Grand Master of the Shepherd Knights. He has openly admitted to seeking to destroy a person known as "Sin'Vraal" that has evidently wronged him in the past. Some speculate that he is some vengeful or restless spirit from the knight's own mysterious past while others have suggested that the Ashfiend is an undead monstrosity known as a "Death Knight." Regardless of his true nature, Teron seems to be a creature of some age should his claim to have forged the sword known as Arak's Ruin be true as Sir Deucalios claims the sword is an heirloom of his family. Current Sketch Since his arrival, Teron has done little but wreak destruction and make enemies of the people of Myrken Wood. He is known to be responsible for the disappearances of a librarian at the Library of Mudd as well as Teddi, a serving girl at the Broken Dagger Tavern. He is said by some to strike against enemies with a confidence that borders on arrogance though such overweening pride is not entirely without some merit. He has demonstrated a great, tireless strength as well as an alleged immunity to either heat or cold. He is also a known practitioner of sorcery, specifically necromancy, as a great deal of his sorcerous power deals with inflicting pain, robbing people of their strength and raising undead to serve him. Unfortunately the serving girl Teddi remains, as of yet, in his clutches. Though the Myrken Wood community has rallied to fight him and rescue her it is unknown what he plans to do with the poor woman.
