The Hooded King
The “Hooded King”, as folk call him, has reigned supreme ever since The Calamity took place and reshaped the world as we know it today. In his earlier lifetime he was known as Atrox The Wise – but after he took on the pact with Ëli, the greatest daemon of his age, his old age was never again an issue.
The events leading up to calamity had shaped Atrox' mindset of that banishing all magical power is the only way for a peaceful living amongst the races, since so many wars have been fought in the Second Age. He has seen so much death and pain among the civilizations and creatures in Revelyá that his will was strong in doing the right thing.
But his weak heart betrayed him, his lust for power being his weakpoint, as Ëli - the greates Daemon of his age - approached Atrox' during the the great ritual that lead to The Calamity and the King's pact with the Ëli. Atrox’ lifeline took a turn and instead of dying, his pact with the daemon allowed him to stretch out his existence even further – always seeking ways of the old within The Fade to gain more power. Centuries of wandering The Fade and being shunned away in his fortress within the Barren Mountains, "The Bleak Keep" near the World’s Spine have resulted in him becoming less aware of the subjects within our material world and the responsibility that comes with ruling an empire.
