He is well toned and, upon the unlikely event he is seen without a shirt, could be described as "cut". He weighs about one hundred sixty pounds and tries to maintain a light gear load. His hair is black peppered with grey on the temples, a leftover from his previous appearance in his fifties despite magical rejuvenation. His face and somewhat angular in appearance but not overly so. His eyes, a stone grey shade, seem to be those of a man far older than he appears outwardly. His main distinguishing feature is a large scar over his jugular, incompletely healed from his fight with Rimris even after magical aid.[/sblock]</p><p></p><p><strong>Background:</strong></p><p>[sblock]From the journal of Tarthiel, Speaker of the Dead, as related by the Vampire and Diviner Rimris:</p><p></p><p><em>"It was on the eve of the full moon, my great ritual was nearly complete. Long had I desired to raise an army of those like me. That was when my scouts reported the presence of the hunters encroaching upon my territory. It was not the first time I had church inquisitors come to hunt me down but these were different somehow. With my ritual's components gathered and ready I felt I had time to scry upon these interlopers and learn their secrets. When I attempted to center my eyes upon on them I met a powerful magical barrier, uninvited diviners were apparently not allowed to look upon these mortals. Unperturbed I scryed upon my nearby minions, still I could not see the interlopers. I ordered several mortals to steal items from them and bring me them in order to use more powerful auguries upon them. When my minions brought back several coins with the story that they had been given to them freely by the man in black I was astonished. I quickly ordered the sentries set to double and began studying the items.</em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em>"Instead of the visions I sought I conjured phantoms of many dead creatures such as myself. Apparently the man in black had a sick sense of humor. I delved further into the mysteries of the coins and saw the man as a child, he played as any human child would and seemed to get along well with the other whelps. I flashed to his apprenticeship in a port city, a skilled worker, he rarely had his master correct him as he worked the planks steadily into ships. His beginnings as a craftsman went well and I saw him grow rich on his work as a shipwright. He worked diligently still and his business grew.</em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em>"Then I saw it, agents of a church with which I am still unfamiliar with training their star pupil. Clearly he had had this training before, how did I miss this? He had guided my visions somehow, no doubt with the help of his mage friend. He was no cleric though, he was an assassin of utmost skill and a quick lip. I learned all I could of his fighting style with that damnable chain. Now I regret that but then it seemed the inteligent course of action.</em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em>"The next morning while I slept he began his attack, later when I awoke only half of all my minions still lived. Apparently the man in black, who later that night I came to know as Vaeris, had killed many of them while they yet slept. Those who were awake for the attack were put to the sword by a beast of a man and a halfling wizard. They had managed to bring down the beast at the cost of many lives and the wizard had been slain by my spawn but Vaeris and a cleric yet lived and still skulked in my castle.</em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em>"I made for the room of the ritual and began, if the interlopers were still in this area when the ritual was complete then they would join me as vampires. When the ritual was nearly complete I heard the screams of my guards and the blast of magic as the cleric tore through them. I continued my chanting bent over the alter but I did not have much of that before I felt the sting of magical silver in my back. The man had waited in the room of the ritual and I had not detected him warded though I was. I spun quickly catching him in the ribs with my fist. He had not expected me to be so old and powerful apparently. I felt his life energy flow into me and I made for his throat with my fangs in order to end the fight then and there but I failed to get a good hold. Precious blood spilled from his jugular onto the floor. I summoned several of the shades of those I had slain before and they set into him sapping his speed and strength. I returned to the ritual hoping the brief intermission would not interupt it now, not in this crucial stage. The sounds of the battle outside drew closer and the fight behind me sounded ferocious indeed. Then within minutes of the end of the ritual the sounds of the battle behind me ended. I let out a sigh of relief and continued.</em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em>"Unfortunately the man must of been stronger than he looked because I felt the chain tighten around my ankle and drag me away from the altar. I fought back immeadiatly and Vaeris and I became locked in mortal combat. I attempted to bring more minions to my side but as they arrived the cleric engaged them having finally burst through our defenses. I managed to free myself of Vaeris's grasp and ran toward the battle weary cleric, catching her in my grasp I held her as hostage between me and the weakened man in black. I threated her life should he approach and backed toward the shuttered window. He merely smiled and once more brought his chain to bear. I was shocked by his callousness toward the life of his comrade and nearly feinted when he took her head off with the chain. I dropped the corpse from my arms as he rushed me. The impact from him, even in his weakened state, sent us both tumbling out the window and down to the rocks below. The sun engulf me in its morning rays before I hit and for sometime I assumed he had died as well.</em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em>"Later I would learn from other spirits that he had survived, although badly weakened, and had sold much of his gear in order to restore himself to health and the youth I had divined before the fight.

This morning while I oversaw his training in the holy grove I had to briefly return to the temple in order to heal one of our faithful injured in battle.

Due to my skills at following tracks I led the chase while Vaeris guarded from several yards back. The tracks steadily began to converge with our own from the morning patrol. A few hundred yards from where we turned back to camp earlier we spied the elven village. Waiting until nightfall we crept into the village, while I warded myself with spells Vaeris went about killing the guards. When several of the best defenders of the tree top settlement were dispatched I called upon the burning power of his holiness and sent the central tree ablaze. With the many panicing elves running about the defenders had a hard time distinguishing friend and foe. Vaeris cut down several more warriors while I quickly suppressed the elves limited magical support. After the fight we allowed the children to fend for themselves and forcefully ejected them from the village after telling them to flap. The women's lamentations nearly drove me insane but Vaeris chained several of them. After two days travel several were dead but upon return to the temple thirteen were auctioned off to local nobles.
