Blood Falcon Character in Masks: The Wandering City | World Anvil

Blood Falcon

Circe Fenemir was once a respected Aetherean Knight and member of the Order of the Rose. As a trusted protector of the kingdom's arcane secrets, she had access to a wide range of powerful tomes and artifacts. Over time, she began to grow angry that such powerful and potentially beneficial magics were being kept from the people. She began conducting unsanctioned research in an effort to smuggle these secrets out of the palace vault. In her studies, she found the forbidden art of Sanguimancy. As her knowledge and skill grew, she began consorting with increasingly powerful demons and otherworldly entities, who granted her forbidden power. Eventually she was discovered, and summarily expelled from the order. She escaped imprisonment before her scheduled execution, and now plots the kingdom's demise from outside its walls.

Physical Description

Facial Features

The bargains that Blood Falcon has entered into all come with a price, and her physical appearance reflects this. Her skin is pallid white, with darkened veins visible beneath the surface. Her once elegant, patrician features have been twisted into a feral sneer. And her eyes, once as blue as a clear sky, have become blood red orbs with small, black pupils.

Identifying Characteristics

Blood Falcon's distinctive spiky, asymmetrical black plate armor is enough to strike fear into the heart of even the most stalwart knight. She does not wear a helm in battle, preferring to let her enemies see her frightening visage.

Special abilities

The full extent of Falcon's power has not been officially documented, but common themes have been witnessed by those who have survived battles with her and her forces. She possesses unrivaled physical strength and speed. She wields destructive sorcery focused more on pain and agony than outright killing. It has been reported by multiple unrelated witnesses that she drinks the blood of her victims as they die, and that she may be functionally immortal.

Specialized Equipment

Blood Falcon wields a massive black greatsword called 'Maelstrom'.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Blood Falcon is driven by an intense animosity toward Aetheria, and Queen Isolde in particular. The somewhat altruistic motivations that drove her to delve into the royal archive of secrets are long gone now, replaced by seething hatred and possible madness brought about from bargains she has struck with otherworldly beings.
