A dwarven sorcerer who sold his soul for power


SPOOK- male dwarf 5’2/210lbs
Archetype: Sorcerer
Color Identity: Black/Red- Spook likes to dominate others! He loves bullying anyone he can. Although he understands subtlety, he prefers direct… he wants to do what he likes and maim anyone who complains about it. Even among the Legion, he likes doing things to piss people off because they usually can’t do much about it.

Appearance: Spook is physically attractive with a chiseled muscular body and glistening ebony skin. He shaves his head and sports a very un-dwarf-like closely trimmed beard. His demeanor is cocky and arrogant, but also powerful and confident. He walks, talks and thinks like he runs the world. As annoying as that sounds, people are drawn to his primal magnetism. He wears simple dark sleeveless robes that accentuates his physique.

History: Spook hasn’t spoken much about his past. He is the eldest veteran of the Legion other than Teach, so nobody knows his complete tale. He grew up in the southern regions of the Dwarven Lands and studied magic in the Empire. At some point, he tried to bind a powerful demon to his will. Of course, he failed. Instead of killing him, the demon released him but only after partially merging their souls. Now Spook has great power, but less humanity (dwarvanity?).

Personality: Spook is the embodiment of passion overwhelming judgment. Spook has intellectually learned the value of planning and deliberation, but he doesn’t always “get it”. Again, he’s not stupid, he is just ruled by his emotions, particularly the self-satisfying ones. Of course, his years with the Legion have taught him the value of subtlety and he can constrain himself when necessary (Concentration check?).

Relations to others: Spook is closest to Goat and Dancer, who both regularly do whatever makes them happy with little regard to others’ feelings. They are also all pretty dangerous and violent. He is furthest from Holy, who is the pinnacle of orderly cooperation and goodwill. Strangely, they are also the two most charismatic in the squad and everyone likes them both.

Magic ability: Spook’s magical ability reflects his personality. He is not subtle and prefers spells that frighten and weaken the victim, making them easier to subjugate. Also, his magic works best on living or once-living targets. He doesn’t have a lot to deal with inanimate objects.
