He now believes he can remake the world in his own image, and will use this ancient evil to do so. He's been hounding the PC's for over 45 sessions, showing up at inopportune times to taunt and harass them, but his flunkies/slaves have been dropping like flies lately, and he's retreated to his fortress to plan his next move.Lamec, an assassin who grew up peacefully in an island fishing village, until the navy occupying it went out of control and stepped far over the line in one seven-year-old boy's eyes. That boy took one of the guns from the naval officer and went from house to house, shooting the soldiers, and shooting to kill. Many escaped, though, and returned a week later and burnt the village to the ground, killing everyone in it. The boy was sent away by his parents to survive, and saw the flames as he left. That's the PC's backstory -- he never realized, for 13 years, that someone else escaped too. That boy, two years younger, watched the PC attack the soldiers and then was sent away too, and saw his mother's home burn as he sailed away, tears in his eyes. Where the PC set out to make things right and find a way to make peace with himself, Lamec was haunted by the visions and set about making HIS peace -- killing all those responsible. Of 13 people in that naval contingent, 10 are dead, victims of a masked assassin calling himself Taijiya, the Slayer, whose last words to each man he kills are, "I never wanted this to happen... why do I have to kill you to make this right...?"Dr. Arich Zokunnen, a scientist who lost his fiance to a sudden and vicious accident a mere week after proposing to her, and dedicated his life to finding a way to restore her to life. He planned to use a machine that harnessed the power of summoning without a human mind to call the aeons to bring something strong enough to restore his love to life -- the very machine that killed her. However, in his moment of triumph (with the PC's helping), something went wrong, and the machine overloaded and went critical, exploding and hurling all of them throughout the room. When the dust cleared, he was dead -- only to be reborn in the Phoenix. His strongest wish was to find a way to restore his love to life, and unable to control the Phoenix inside of him, and also unable to die, for he will be reborn again, he has sworn to exact what pleasure he can by killing those responsible for her death and his life.I have so much fun with these three villains it's not even funny.</blockquote>
