Description
Alistair Krauss is a tall charcoal-black skinned tiefling with dark leathery wings, a long pointed tail, cloven hooves, twisted horns, short curly black hair, and six-fingered hands.
Adolescence: Alistair Krauss is a Cambion born from a Shadow Demon and a Tiefling. Shortly after his birth, his mother died from complications and he was left alone. Put into an orphanage at a young age Krauss was an outcast, but one day a small family adopted him and took him home. This family turned out to be a cult of Orcus and performed a ritual on the small boy to bring out his more demonic abilities. Brought up into this cult Alistair adopted their ideology as his own, he followed their beliefs as he was taught how to lie and cheat, to make those around him feel at ease and let him into their homes. Krauss helped the cult for years gathering more members and stretching their belief across the plains until the Empress took notice and had her men destroy all they had built in the blink of an eye. Spared from the slaughter of his flock Alistair had been away in the countryside hunting game when he returned to find his new family dead. Alone for the second time in his life Alistair left the countryside in favor of hiding among the crowd in a city traveling to Wheldrake he spent some years studying magic at a college under a mage who taught him how to draw power from the shadow weave and become a necromancer.
Adulthood. Alistair may have lost his family for a second time but he has found that being alone has its advantages, you can think clearly without the nagging voices of children and act without the permission of authority. Alistair has spent his adult life studying magic under a mage and sharpened his silver tongue in tavern bars to easier spread his influence. After learning all he could from the mage he left Wheldrake and spent years gathering followers in small towns and villages to do his bidding and exact his revenge on the Empress. He created the Ebony Order that can be split into three smaller segments; The Onyx Moths, The Black Hand, and The Obsidian Eye. The Ebony Order is searching for the book of vile darkness, the hand of vecna, and the eye of vecna. He wants to gather these three artifacts to overturn the Orselus empire into a land of the undead and prepare the portal for Orcus to ravage the land.
