Abaddon Damodred (a.k.a. Bright Eyes)

The first half of Abaddon's life was mired in training to become the most suitable vessel for the second coming of Baphomet. He was exposed to powerful dark arts and combat training as his mercenary band, The Raven's Claw, traveled the northern parts of Riscaria. He is always on the hunt to increase his power and influence over those around him.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Prior to joining the rest of the current adventurers, Abaddon was in a cult that worshiped the fiend Glasya of the 6th realm Malbolge. Their aim was to raise Abaddon as the vessel for Glasya, she was to slowly siphon her essence into him in hopes of increasing her influence over the world and bring it closer to devilish rule. He was raised by his mother, a powerful warlock, his father the blademaster for the group, and a high priestess which oversaw and tended to the cultists as the Matriarch. Throughout much of the lifespan of his clan they were pursued by the Order of Nyne, various paladins and a network of intelligence to seek out fiends and bring them to justice. As they caught word of increased activity of Aba's cult, the Order crashed upon them with the full force of their righteous smite. During the struggle Aba was able to slay a few of the Order's strongest members but could feel the weight of their impending demise. Using what he had learned from his mother, young Aba called out to the shades of Shadowfell. The war hungry line of Shadovar tieflings answered back to grant him power in the form of a pact, made with the life of Aba's mother. As her lasting wish was to see Aba live, she willingly accepted and her essence was transformed into a red scimitar, Aba's right eye burns with the redness of the now formed pact. With his mother gone, clan decimated, Aba manages to deal a decisive blow to the Order, only managing to save the Matriarch and hopefully saving his father as the Order reels from the blow. Aba was 20 at that time, since the cult allowed him to be empowered with Glasya's essence he has grown weak since their destruction but continues to grow in strength as a sellsword for the mercenary group, the Murder of Crows. For 7 years he travels with the bad, pillaging and looking for his father as he can while continuing to be pursued by the Order, they keep track of Aba as they continue to increase their strength and numbers as well.  Aba parts ways with the band as his searches lead him to pursue an artifact of power, where he crosses paths with several other strong travelers.
