Aerthalas

A tall male human warlock with pale skin and dark, sunken eyes that seem to absorb light. His long, black hair flows like shadows around his face, and he wears a tattered robe adorned with symbols of decay and death. His fingers are long and bony, often stained with the remnants of his dark magic. A staff topped with a withered skull serves as his arcane focus, and a faint aura of decay surrounds him.

Malrith is cold, calculating, and deeply ambitious. He speaks with a smooth, almost hypnotic tone, often laced with a sense of superiority. He views others as mere pawns in his grand design and is unafraid to use manipulation and deceit to achieve his goals. Despite his dark nature, he possesses a twisted charm that can draw others to him, making them unwittingly complicit in his schemes.

Once a promising scholar of the arcane arts, Malrith's insatiable thirst for knowledge led him to the dark and forbidden realms of decay magic. He became the Archmage of decay magic, serving The Withering Hand, a sinister organization dedicated to spreading blight across the land. Malrith now wields the power to manipulate decay and corruption, using his abilities to further the goals of his dark masters. He resides in Blightspire Hold, where he conducts experiments to harness the essence of death itself, believing that true power lies in the ability to control life and death.
