[ IP ] Doctor

Humanity has always feared disease - it spreads silently, stealthily. Undetectable until too late, dragging its victims down a steep slope into death. Inflicting unimaginable pain and suffering as it breaks the body from within. What humanity fails to fear, however, is who the disease brings. 
 
 It is said he was a caring, selfless healer once. Clad in white, he roamed the world curing the sick in the name of his god. During his travels, his land was struck by a great epidemic. He attempted to rid the land of the plague by drawing it all into himself, shouldering the burden alone. He succeeded in purging the pandemic, and was hailed as a messiah, a purifier - a god. Carrying the land's affliction, he fled, hoping to seal himself and the plague away. Before he completed his task, he succumbed. 
 
 Garbed in sable leather, his once white mantle dyed and cracked with dried, unknowable fluids, he stalks the land in search of the diseased. He hungers for the putrid flesh of the sick, to inflict further maladies upon himself. Wherever he passes, a cloud of miasma trails, followed by fat, well-fed crows. His title, little known and even rarer mentioned, alludes to his once-noble goals: 
 
 _The Doctor_.
