The Shadowed Overlord Character in Gaia | World Anvil

The Shadowed Overlord

Overlord Unknown

The Shadowed Overlord is the entity that claims leadership over Avatar and the Dark Shroud. Not many have ever seen this figure. They are confirmed to not be Human, but possible a Lujan. This fact alone gives the entity an affinity towards Weres and even vampires. Its connection to the Moons is where its power is drawn from. To place thier mind is hard to tell, they can be seen mostly, as an anti-hero. Closer to the Dark Shroud, the figure is seen with great respect and like.  
"Creatures of the Night, and the darkness consider me their god, and I am, a god, A servant of someone greater, perhaps. Do not cross my Scythe, and we shall see about you living for another few moments."
~The Overlord of Avatar

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

As a Lujan, he is an agile and ominous creature. Inflicted with madness that he must keep balanced with sanity. He can lose himself easily, and become hostile one moment, then forgiving the next. With his fragile mind, he is prone to acts of insanity, and bouts of madness, making him feared as a leader.  
"I only ever had a glimpse of him, when I was leaving, I can';t believe the guild wanted me to steal from The Keeper of Deathtoll! The most scary thing...was his eyes, the silver glow they gave...If only he has turned his head to look to me...I can't imagine what would have happened."
~Markus Antherion, Thieves Guild

His body is that of an agile canine, short silver fur, with a short tail. He is cloaked in grey and silver robes and arme with a large scythe, much like the god of Death has for his own.   He is adorned with items that give his badge of office away, He has claws on his hands and feet which is retained from his natural Lujan form.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Nothing much is known about The Overlord. What can be stated it was a Lujan who ascended due to favor by an unknown entity, and now works as its Agent. The Lujan race it self is rather mysterious, but have an affinity towards the moons. The same could be said for the Overlord, as he is seen as an Entity that is worshipped, and has attained the greatest gift a servant of the Dark Lands could achieve, godhood.   In his past life, he was perhaps a devout worshipper of the God of Madness, and lost himself to Lunacy as the moons peaked their highest in the sky. Torn between the Silver Reaper and the Mad One, he was able to keep himself in check during the lunacy, and thus, granted boons and eventually a state of near god-hood by the Entity of Avatar.   The overlord worships Death, and Sanity, his task to oversee the Shadowed Lands and keep the Deathtoll maintained so that Avatar does not fall into nonexistence. It is said that The overlord had subjugated his predecessor and keeps him in the Cabal Keep, atop the Cabal Mountain. Despite the hostilkities, the former overlord can not openly be hostile towards the current one, as it will unsettle balance, which is a fragile thing in these lands.
