Северное сияние

A middle-aged male Northern Tribal Union shaman and priest with sharp facial features marked by wrinkles, coal-black eyes like embers, and dark, weathered skin. He wears dark, ritualistic robes adorned with symbols of Chernobog and carries talismans of dark power. His hair is long, black, and unkempt, framing his intense face.

He is a brooding and vengeful figure, driven by loss and dark power. He is authoritative and commanding, with a deep connection to dark forces and a willingness to sacrifice his humanity for his cause. He is ruthless to enemies but fiercely protective of those who follow him.

His settlement was far northwest from the princely halls. They watched as the nomads activated. They sent people to the Knyaz asking for protection, but the prince did not come. On the day they were attacked and almost all were killed. He miraculously survived. He had to bury his wife himself. All he had left was his 12-year-old daughter. With a small group of survivors, they moved south under the Knyaz protection but were ambushed by Christian fanatics. They began process of conversion to Christianity. They said that suffering allowed them to atone for their sins. He saw his daughter suffer. Something inside him broke, and he heard the voice from his soul. He made a pact with it. He killed them all with his bare hand. He went where the voice led him. He was the first to find an old idol of Chernobog in the dark forest. Now he spoke to it openly. Once a farmer, now a dark priest of Chernobog. He is ready to give himself completely to drive invaders from Slavic lands.
