Saint Sebastian Evershadow
Hidden Hand of Zzsiulb
Standing almost seven foot tall, long and gaunt with tight corded muscles under pitch black armor. His long white hair, straight down towards the floor, and a pair of glowing red eyes. His bare hands are shock white, but the last digit of each finger and thumb are a deep maroon red. He wields a massive scythe with a straight shaft, adorned with skulls both real and carved. This is Saint Sebastian Evershadow. Hidden Hand of Zzsiulb, Demigod of Undead. Sebastion Everbright was a high elf Fighter cleric of Lotheriel. His beauty was known around Gothmyr and even south into the Iron Kingdoms. He was a member of an elven heroic adventuring party, seeking lost elven magic and attempting to return the magic to Rhil'heeyl. Sebastian took joy in healing. His ability to give life from his goddess through his hands seemed to invigorate him. He always blessed his charges and kissed the forehead of each person he healed. Sebastian was known to derail his adventuring group miles away, if a call for aid came to his mind. He called it "Being led by Lotheriel." Soon his heals seemed to work, when not even higher powered clerics could do nothing. Everyone saw it as a blessing, but his demeanor became haughty. This began the downfall of Sebastian. During a battle with a group of Bourn, Sebastian watched with pride as his party killed a score of braun. As his friends stood wounded, he cast a mass healing prayer. the words began to change as they exited his mouth and his friends all begin to scream in pain. All fifteen of his party began to strip their armor and clothes off in pain. They did not stop, as they stood and began to peel the skin off each other and themselves, trying to rid themselves of some invisible clothing. As the entire party, save for Sebastian fell dead, half skeletal. He stood agape. After a few moments, his fifteen friends and allies stood back up, undead and began putting their armor back on. They stood at attention and awaited his commands. His powers horribly twisted, he lost the ability to heal, and instead only harmed. His prayers to Lotheriel went unanswered, but instead picked up and twisted by Zzsiulb. His magic was turned dark, and every prayer he cast, his fingers darkened and soon took on the look of they've been dipped in blood. He began sacking temples and farms, setting up churches to Zzsiulb and soon, he had other dark evil cultists praying to him... his powers growing, he could hear their prayers and learned to give some of their prayers answers. All the power of Zzsiulb flowing through him.
He has cults across Edus, and especially in Hepulchor and southern Gothmyr. He still stalks Edus, in mortal form....ascending to Sainthood, but continuing the work and ethos of Zzsiulb.
