There is likely no one else on the planet as apathetic and bored as Ester. Due to her vast amount of worldly experience she is rarely ever moved by anything. This makes her come across as emotionless. However, her sarcastic attitude and condescending tone quickly dispel that first impression. She is incredibly intelligent, and has no desire to be humble about it. She lost patience for the less educated a long time ago and can hardly bear to even speak with them.

She once had a proper sense of morals, but over the years it slowly rotted away as life bore down on her. She won't go out of her way to kill people, but she has no issue murdering someone if it is in her best interest and won't cause a nuisance. She feels little for the plight of humans, in her eyes their lives are fleeting and only worth as much as they give.

The only thing that truly excites Ester is the unknown. She wants to experience things she's never seen before, create things that have never been made and learn as much about the universe as possible.

Ester was born into a small coven of vampires. In her early years she traveled with her family from place to place. They avoided feeding on humans if possible, making due with farm animals and the like. But drinking nothing but animal blood was like a human eating nothing but unsalted crackers. Around the age of fourteen she bit her first human victim. It was an older man that attempted to court her at a bar. He was drunk, and was hardly "subtle" about it. She could have easily gotten away from him using her natural strength, but this was the perfect excuse for her, this man wasn't an upstanding citizen anyway, right? At first she planned to only take a bit of the man's blood, at the most he'd turn into a minor vampire. But the taste of human blood had overwhelmed her senses and she ended up draining the man dry.

She dumped his body in a ditch where he was discovered the following day. The response to the man's death was more severe than she thought it would be. The drunkard turned out to be the assistant to a thane, and he wanted the killer's head on a pike. Needless to say Ester and her family had to leave the city. Since that day she learned to control her impulsive desires and came to understand the place her kind held in society. She didn't understand why they had to live in fear of humans, they were superior in every way weren't they?

Apparently this sentiment was not hers alone, and a few decades later her coven joined with other vampires around the world. Their goal was simple, wrest control of the world away from humans and become the status quo. The war did not go well, The vampires underestimated the tenacity of humans, as well as their sheer numbers advantage. The vampires were nearly exterminated. Her parents were captured and she was forced to watch as they were executed, impaled through the gut and left to burn to death from the sun's infernal rays of light. Since then she's experienced nearly everything life has to offer.

She tried passing as a human for a while, attending universities and going on expeditions. However she couldn't hide under a cloak forever,
and her unchanging face was more than suspicious. So she began to travel the world alone, learning all that she could of the world and it's mysteries. She eventually met a human in her travels and fell in love. She had a hatred for humans, but this man was a lone traveler like her, and much different from usual humans she'd met. He was raised as a brigand and had murdered his fair share of people. Things would have continued that way but his tribe was wiped out by a company of knights. Over the years he came to regret his past actions and exiled himself from society. He hadn't lived long compared to her, but his upbringing reminded her much of her own past and they shared a bond as ostracized beings.

It was inevitable, and she knew it would happen from the start, but her lover aged before her eyes over the years. On more than one occasion she offered to turn him into a vampire, but he always refused. He claimed he had a stubborn pride as a human that she could never understand. Ester was stubborn in her own way, and decided to bite him in his sleep.

But her lover was ready, he knew her well enough to assume she would eventually try to turn him against his will. He was well into his fifties, however he was also an experienced warrior and not someone she could easily overpower while holding back. As the fight prolonged Ester grew more and more inpatient and he grew ever the more tired. Eventually his exhaustion and her recklessness resulted in her inflicting a mortal wound onto him. Panicking, she bit his neck, attempting to turn him before he died. She made sure not to take much blood, only enough to start the change. But it was too late, he'd lost too much blood already. Tears in her eyes, she pleaded with him to tell her why he refused to live with her forever. Ester has long forgotten her first love's name, but his final words could never be forgotten. He died shortly after in spite of Ester's futile attempts to treat his wound.

Her purpose in life gone she mindlessly traveled until she ran out of places to go. She decided to live on her own in a thick forest researching magic. Rumors of a witch living in dangerous woods eventually spread to a nearby town, and on a rainy day someone knocked on her door. It was the queen desperate for help. The king had fallen ill, and she had run out of options. Ester frankly didn't care about whether or not the king died, but she did see a tempting opportunity. She needed equipment, which costs gold, of which she had little.
In exchange for curing the king she was given access to the royal library and provided with whatever equipment she desired. She worked for the crown for a time, serving multiple generations of the royal line. As long as they helped her research she was fine with assisting them.

Ester made strides in science and magic for the industrial city of Isenburhg, though her motives were purely self satisfying. After lamenting the long travel time to get from Isenburhg to the imperial city, she thought of an idea for a locomotive. She spent years leading a team of engineers before creating the steam engine, which opened the floodgates for all manner of machinery to be created. After a few more years of refinement and testing she was able to create the world's first steam powered train.

Fifty years ago, when Camelot fell and the world when to hell, Ester was put into an awkward position. The world was certainly more interesting now, but at the same time things were far too chaotic for her to effectively work. She tried living on her own, but her forest home was a living nightmare filled with monsters, and she hardly felt like constantly having to do pest control. The world needed order, no matter who enforced it...

The Obscure One is not death but his realm of influence stems from it. As a result, Evelyn can see the aura of those who have died recently anywhere she goes. What's more, should she come into contact with an item or be in a location of strong importance to the deceased individual, she receives visions of that person's live from their point of view.

This ring symbolizes the bond between Evelyn and The Obscure One as well as holds a portion of her life essence within the gem. Should Evelyn be killed in any manner whatsoever, the first person to wear this ring will die and Evelyn's soul will possess the body. What's more, If Evelyn is alive and anyone else wears this ring, they shall be able to hear and see The Obscure One.

The obscure one has granted the right hand of its prophet with a fury unlike any other. Bartucs relentless fury in combat is amplified by the will of a dark god he does not even believe in. The result is a warrior who, when blood is spilled, knows no end to his stamina capable of fighting through wounds that would render others incapable of continuing.

The ring is a pristine silver with gold inscriptions flowing around the outside and inside of the ring, bestowing the wearer with minor regeneration. Not enough to make a fatal blow any less fatal but it can mend a minor wound within an hour, a larger wound if cared for properly first will heal within a week depending on severity.
