The Lower Planes

A tall, gaunt human male dressed in dark, imposing armor adorned with spikes and symbols of dread. He has unkempt black hair, sunken eyes that radiate paranoia, and a haggard face marked by deep lines of stress. His presence is intimidating, often accompanied by shadows that seem to cling to him, as if reflecting his haunted mind.

Azriel is deeply paranoid and obsessed with the idea that betrayal lurks around every corner. His mind teeters on the brink of madness, haunted by visions of enemies waiting to overthrow him. This has made him a tyrant, ruling through fear and cruelty, exhibiting violent outbursts against anyone he perceives as a threat. Yet, beneath his harsh exterior, there lies a flicker of the noble leader he once was, occasionally surfacing in moments of vulnerability.

Once a noble warrior fighting to protect his people, Azriel became consumed by the fear of losing everything to the encroaching darkness. As he watched his kingdom crumble and the last remnants of civilization fall into chaos, he turned into a tyrant, imposing a reign of terror in a desperate attempt to maintain control over the remnants of humanity. His paranoia drives him to distrust everyone, even his closest advisors, leading him to make increasingly irrational decisions.
