[Volke]

History:  Originally from Naethryn, Volke lost his entire family during a siege when he was a child and was forced to survive while being pierced upon a crucifix for three days by feeding on the blood of his family, acquiring him his taste for blood.  Volke is an intelligent and erudite man. The onset of his unique ability to dampen light, combined with his pale skin, caused him to be obsessed with darkness and creatures of the night. A sociopath with no concern whatsoever for other human beings, he has had numerous supernatural augmentations to give him the abilities of a vampire. As the Black Knight, he plied his trade as a very successful assassin. In dealing with other professionals, Volke chose to affect a crude, nihilistic persona that meshed well with his own bloodthirsty personality. -This Black Knight-Errant has a well deserved reputation for being a cold-blooded murderer, torturer, and sadist. He delights in seeing others in pain, including those of his own race. Because of this fascination with torment, Volke, Devil of the Ash, has become an expert in creating items, posions, drugs and weapons that will inflict excruciating pain, mind-blasting insanity, death, or all the above. Like any other creature, Volke takes advantage of the resources available in his surroundings. Mushrooms, moss, algae, fungi, and the bizarre animal species found in the Realm of Naethryn to serve as the baseline for countless of odd and dangerous items and poisons.

Personality: Originally course and deviant, later maniacal and fanatic. Finally, Volke's apparent " true " personality re-emerged, which was very cunning and intelligent. -He has vampire-like attributes, including a taste for blood, the ability to run across or stand on the surface of water or vertical walls, superhuman speed and agility, and the ability to shrug off what would typically be a mortal wound ( for example, being stabbed in the head ). ( Other than the haematophagy, he does not seem to have any other traditional vampire weakness, however ). Besides the vampiric abilities, he is also an expert with both melee weapons, though wielding two swords with grace, precision and power.

" Howling my sins of Allegiance, raising the dagger of conjurer, the chosen will never repent. The Covenant of Darkness---Unholy One. Behold this evil upon you. Remember your promise to serve until Death, bonded by blood; Thy will be done." --Volke; The Black Knight of Naethryn.

" Behold a glorious pale devil. Who stood before a woman, as she was ready to deliver her child. The beast devoured her son..." --Volke.

" Empowered with the undead secrets to destroy entire civilizations, the creature toils in the bowels of the earth awaiting resurrection. Slowly the creature crawls as it struggles to break free from the planet's imprisoning womb, and to bring forth the arrival of the dawn of Naethryn." --Volke, Devil of the Ash.

" The Requirem's Blade no blood hath spilled.  But doth the spirit carve.  Requirem hath no body killed.  But many left to starve." --Volke, the Black Knight.

[Volke]

Lamentation:



Lamentation is a great sentient black vampiric runeblade with runes carved into the blade, and possesses the ability to steal the souls ( or blood ) of those it slays, in turn increasing the strength of its wielder.

Requirem:



Requirem is also called the Sword of Despair, or the Tyrant's Blade. Unlike Lamentation, the Requirem's blade is a dull color lacking all luster that actually seems to draw light into itself, creating a pocket of localized gloom when drawn. It is also unique in that it bears the same symbol or marking on its blade, as does its wielder.

When drawn, Volke's blade Requirem projects a field of total apathy that spreads to cover a fair-sized battlefield. Any creature caught within Requirem's sphere of influence immediately loses all interest in life and slumps to the ground in a state of profound depression. They are incapable of movement and take no notice of hunger, thirst, or exposure to elements. They will eventually die of deprivation if the Sword of Requirem is not sheathed.
