__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description:
He's a condor, see image.

Ezekiel can speak, but it's very difficult for him to do so- he has no larynx. His voice comes out as a guttural, halting baritone because of this.

Personality:
Once a servant of evil, Ezekiel is proof that people (and birds) can change. He takes the concepts of good and evil very seriously, and tries his hardest to be a beacon of justice. Ezekiel acts pessimistic, but deep down he believes that all it takes is a single person fighting for good to make a difference in the world- if he didn't, he wouldn't be fighting so hard.

Ezekiel can be pleasant company, but he's afraid of forming attachments to people. If he feels somebody is getting too close, he'll try to push them away.

Relationships:
While he was once a familiar, Ezekiel has cut all ties with the necromancer was bound to. The bird is deathly afraid of his former master, and stays far away from anywhere he's been sighted.

Magic/Abilities:
Ezekiel has the ability to manipulate rotting flesh. It's not quite necromancy, nor could it accurately be called fleshsculpting- it's more an unholy combination of the two. This ability is pretty niche for the most part, but it does have a few practical uses- it's very good at dismantling the undead, for example.

Ezekiel used to have more abilities (including being able to speak without sounding like he's vomiting), but he lost them when his ties with his master were severed.

History:
Ezekiel has come a long way from where he started.

Hatched by a necromancer in the Killanthro mountains, Ezekiel was raised to be the perfect familiar. Blindly loyal and single minded, the bird carried out his master's will without question. Committing countless crimes against humanity, Ezekiel's heart should have hardened...

But it didn't. She was a young girl, an orphan that his master had taken home. Over the course of a year Ezekiel grew to genuinely care for the child, treating her like one would a younger sibling.

Then he watched as the necromancer sacrificed the child on an alter in order to complete his transformation into a lich.

It was too much. Ezekiel couldn't unhear the girl's desperate screams for help, couldn't unsee her lifeless body drained of blood. He turned on his master that day, vowing to avenge the child he had come to love. He lost badly, and was barely able to escape with his life.

Now cut off from his master, Ezekiel has discovered morality and searches for a way to atone. The bird has taken to hunting down necromancers and other dark mages in order to bring them to justice, but he's too afraid of his former master to face him again. He's also taught himself to speak, and gives talks at colleges about the dangers of necromancy. He doesn't get booked a lot, but he hopes that will change with time.
