[QUOTE="Rkhet, post: 2420405, member: 31318"] History: He had thought that he enjoyed wandering the worlds and planes, raising great armies and abandoning them when the whim suits him, distributing kindness or cruelties without thought, or infiltrating the most secret of cults to sate his curiosity - but for the last century or so, he had grown increasingly bored and restless. You can only torture so many angels before they hold little more interest than human-shaped pidgeons. You can only learn so many dark secrets - the like of which would, apparently, would drive a lesser man to madness - before they seem no more interesting than common gossip. Even slaying gods got old after a while - and they had an annoying tendency to come back. So while he has been annoyed that the abominations were destroying what he thought of as 'his toy' - the entire cosmos - he has been in equal part intrigued. Excited, even - finally, there is a challenge worth undertaking: not the slaying of gods, nay, but the slaying of the [i]slayers[/i] of gods... He did not survive this long without knowing his limits. He knew that he, while powerful, was no match even for the greater deities, never mind their killers. To succeed, he will need companions. Allies. Meatshields. Research pointed him to a Lord Vorasin, the lord of the Galician fortress of Nomal. Rumors were that he had gathered some [i]very[/i] powerful beings around himself, and declared war on the abominations, as well as, for good measure, 'all that is good and holy'. The man was obviously quite mad... but that is beside the point. Once he has chosen his destination, it did not take him long to make himself known in the right circles as a powerful spellcaster. After this it was a simple matter to obtain an invitation from Lord Vorasin himself, promising for his services fame, riches and power beyond reckoning - a rather unoriginal package. When he and Lord Vorasin finally met, he was asked his name. To this he heisitated: he has had so many names over the years - Nehmet. Siraj. Korrath the Red Slayer. The Horror of Tyrene. The Soulless One - So, so many, used then shed like empty skins. Then it came to him: he would use his first name, the name he had all but abandoned in an eternity past, his name in his days back in the Temple of the One Truth. "Alosat." he said. Then, on a whim - "Alosat the Protean." What would his former Master think, he wondered, when he hears of the exploits of his wayward pupil, unheard from for so long? Probably shake his head and smile like he always does. He realized with some irony that Lord Vorasin, having never heard of this name, thought he was lying. But the man did not argue the point. [OOC: are the evil PCs together? Do we know/have we met each other? Where are we, specifically? And are we going to set off together as a party, or separately?] [/QUOTE]
