CH. I – Painting a Portrait
He was handsome once, with a long, narrow face, with sharp features, a wide aquiline nose and green eyes as deep as the verdant hills of Serendipity. He is handsome still, perhaps, in an unearthly way.  His eyes have turned into a dull yellow-green that have a faint glow to them, and seem to illuminate in complete darkness.  He was always tall and well built, and he prided himself in his appearance.  But his swarthy flesh has since turned sallow.

+ NOTABLE MARKS +
He has a few battle scars on his person, most of them on his chest and back, minor cuts here and there.  He has runes carved into arms, as if after death brandings that go down from his shoulder blades, up along his shoulders and down to his upper arms.

CH II – Persona
Once practical in life, death has made the man hard-pressed to endure change.  Sure his heart might not be beating anymore, but he’s still the same guy.  He was once a knight of some renown, proud, confident, courageous as a right proper man should be, but his vanity would be his undoing.  Truth be told, he is a creature of habit, and despite being dead, he is still very much like he was in life, vain and confident, and does not easily suffer the company of fools.  Though he may display initial reluctance, Bhalasar may help those in need, but he will expect some form of compensation in return.  The world does not turn for free after all.

+ FAITH +
What’s that?

+ HABITS +
Never overtly virtuous, Bhalasar doesn’t display any particular bad habits.  And even if he did (which he doesn’t!), he would never admit them.


CH III – Social

+ RELATIONSHIPS +
The Witch*
- The woman that slaughtered Bhalasar’s family and turned him into her service.  The runes along his arms bound him to her, and bind him to her still.   In the first centuries of his enslavement, she kept him leashed like a dog, but she gradually loosened it the more he proved his loyalty.  Though he does not often see her, he still feels her presence, and he awaits the day he can break free .

CH IV – Abilities / Skills
+ WRAITH +
An undead, an unwilling wraith in the service of a powerful witch, Bhalasar remains caught between the realms of the ethereal and the physical.  In natural light, he’s as physically real as any other person, in sunlight, moonlight, or even magical light (though magic light would make him appear more like an embalmed corpse).  But in darkness, he becomes a shade, an ethereal form that allows him to use shadows to transport himself from one location to another across short distances and pass through barriers, except magical ones, unencumbered.  His form, when shadow, appears like solidified smoke and only his eyes remain, a glowing yellow-green.  He may also cast temporary shadows with which to teleport, and he may also press his form against walls and surfaces, becoming two-dimensional, so to speak, whether to hide or appear unassuming.

+ KNIGHT +
During life, Bhalasar proved to be an exceptional student of the arts learned through knighthood: swordplay, horsemanship, and combat.  He had minor training in archery, and fighting with a whip.  But more over he prefers sword and shield techniques, or two weapon fighting.  He has two broadswords that have remained his weapons of choice, even in death.  He’d just never been good at that chivalry thing.

CH V – Gear / Equipment

+ DIRGE BLADES +
Two broadswords that Bhalasar had fashioned just for him, they are well-weighted, stocky things, that have interlocking hilts, allowing them to lock together to turn into a double-bladed weapon.  He is proficient at wielding them interlocked in one hand with a shield in the other, using the blades like a spear, or individually. 

CH VI – Reflections of the Past
Bhalasar Faust was once a knight of small renown, doing great deeds, slaying the most dangerous beasts.  He was prideful and powerful, and took his family for granted.  When a mysterious witch came to him, claiming love or obsession, he laughed and shunned her, and turned away.  She laid waste to all he loved, killing his wife and son and placing their corpses for display, and bound him to be her servant anyway.  Time would pass, but he would never age, and he watched all of he knew and held dear to him die and fade away.  Though he did not age, he noticed his own body changing, eyes lifeless, skin sallow, and he knew then, reflecting upon reflection, that he was dead.

He slays others in his mistress’ service, as her agent and champion, and it’s all he’s known for the past three hundred years.
