Mallith

Weaver and Keeper of Shadows

Demi-God Mallith (a.k.a. Demi-God of Shadows / Shadow Keeper)

Shadows; mysterious, dark and hider of the unknown. Many people fear whatever lurks in the depths of the shadows. But remember how people seek out the shadows on a hot summers day. All these thoughts should be applied if someone were to encounter or make a deal with Mallith

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

He is quite slender standing at an incredible 6'9" Mallith doesn't appear to be muscular by any means. Looking at him Mallith most often appears to be a half-elf with narrow eyes and short but sharp ears.

Body Features

Mallith has quite pale skin to represent all the time he spends outside of the sun. He has two small loop earrings piercing his right eye brow, and three black studs pierced in his right ear. The creepiest feature however are the shadow tentacles, that slither all throughout his body indiscriminately.

Special abilities

Capable of perfect vision in the dark. He can understand the weight, height and dimensions of something hiding in the shadows. He is also capable of teleporting while inside the shadows. His style of Ziel is elemental, which a specialization in shadows.

Apparel & Accessories

He wears fine noble clothes. Most notably a sports jacket with a popped collar and a fine silver trim. He sometimes appears to be wearing a scarf made of raven feathers. He can be seen wearing a purple button down and slim black fine pants. Decorated with a fine silver crafted belt.

Specialized Equipment

Often seen attached to his side, is a beautifully elegant silver handle of a Rapier. He has not drawn the Rapier on a mortal before, so there are no records of what this rapier is capable of but those that have been around it recall that there is an immense magic pressure radiating from it.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

History

Born of the immense power of Rorum Goddess of Night and Darkness. He was created to assist Rorum with controlling the shadows. He has served under her ever since his creation. Mallith has long existed in Altheria keeping the shadows in check, living in and ever watching the mortals from the depths of darkness.  

Dealing With Mortals

Mallith for most of his existence has lacked any notable interest in the lives of mortals. Thats was until the year 988 F.A. when Ullom Plethorn proposed a deal with him. He agreed to help conceive two children that would be more powerful than any other person. In return the city of Syndripe will begin contracting statues and churches dedicated to Mallith. As well, once a month for a single day all the light in Syndripe will be kept off for 24 hours as a tribute to Mallith.

Education

He has lived through all the history of Altheria. Watching the people create cities, wage wars and everything in between. He is very well educated on everything happening in the world and much more.

Morality & Philosophy

In recent years, Mallith has begun to realize that mortals are quite useful as tools and means to become more powerful. But like all tools, some are more useful than others. He seems quite reluctant to actually deal with mortals outside of Tillorn and Ullom.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

He truly wants to ascend into true Godhood. While he is quite reluctant to actually become involved with mortals, he realizes he needs to be more involved with them in the future in order to become stronger.   His motivation for becoming a true God is simple, he doesn't hold a lot of respect for most of the other Demi-Gods. He doesn't like being considered among them. Despite his disdain and looking down upon other Demi-Gods he is only considered average in terms of power and far below average when it comes to followers. His biggest redeeming factor however is he has some of the most tremendous potential out of all the Demi-Gods due to the sheer size of domain.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Mortals

Mallith only has personal relations with three mortals currently. Ullom Plethorn, who he conceived the twins with. He really doesn't involve himself with Ullom that much anymore. Sasha Plethorn his first daughter, he has cut all ties with. Upon her birth she appeared not to have inherited any of Mallith's powers. Seeing this he instantly lost interest with her. Tillorn Plethorn his son is who he is most involved with. This is because Tillorn appears to have inherited a decent sum of Mallith's powers and he also is the reigning king of Stelliah.  

Gods

Among Demi-Gods Mallith is not very involved with them. He finds most of them quite annoying to him. In terms of actual Gods. Mallith contains a great deal of respect for the true gods. The most of which is for Rorum the goddess who created him. He serves and assists her to the best of his abilities and is quite obedient in regards to anything she asks of him.
