Character name: Lord Haklo Thalen Desol
Age: 23
Mageblood type: Lues
Favoured Magic Class: Psychomancy
Previous Magic training: Haklo comes from a long line of Lues blood and is a natural psychomancer like his father. He was taught by his father and his warlocks on the philosophy of the Desol family psychomancy. To put it simply, he is booksmart about psychomancy yet has yet to gain first-hand experience in it's use. He did, however, get first-hand experience on being attacked by psychomancy, to spot between reality and illusion.
Race: Human
Appearance: 6'2" and 190lbs and healthy mix of masculine and athletic built. He wears finely made clothing and carries himself with confidence and authority. His hair is midnight black and his eyes hold an icy cold glare.
Short Bio: Haklo Talen Desol was bron to Baron Thalen of Port Slaughter and House Desol, a powerful noble and even more powerful Psychomancer and former warlock. Although the Port is one of the least savory locations in the world, Baron Desol has a secret control over it's criminal activity. He has the know how of each criminal boss and they make sure to "give" the baron a tribute for good favor. Skara Desol later fathered a son which he began to mold in his image which was already happening. Haklo Desol had the same midnight black hair and the same icy cold eyes of his father. As Haklo grew up, he studied under his tutors and learned about important royalty and nobility as well as their secrets from his father's spies and assassins. From them and the honorguard he learned how to ride a steed and handle a sword. From the street contacts he learned how the streets worked and their filth survived.
Haklo told that he was to inherit the Harken ceremonial armor and the responsibility of the Desol Honorblade named "Malus", when his father's time would be over. It was a longsword of precious metal and with a brilliant yet cracked gem of amethyst at the middle of the crossguard. The precious broken generations ago in a devastating war where the current Lord Desol had been bombarded with waves of magical energies that overcharged the gem. Within the gem was the demonic spirit of
Muardu, the Aether Serpent., a demon who devoured magical energies and was trapped ages ago by the paragon of the Desol family, Kairon Desol. With the gem cracked, the demon is capable of freeing itself by ingesting residual magical energies. To keep the demon from doing just that, the latest Desol blood acts as the serpent's jailer like his forefathers before him, suffering through excruciating amount of pain when the serpent tries to get out. This is not widely known by the common folk but it is the highest of responsibilities of the Desol Family. He once held it by his father's order and his connection with the demon was set into his being.
The sword is the length of a standard longsword as well as three fingers in width. The blade is straight and double edged with serpentine runes lining upwards. The crossguard is black as well and is crescent shaped with an amethyst, drop shaped, gem at the base which is used to help trap the demon. It shines a vibrant glow and when focused on, shape of a coiling snake can be seen. The gem seems to be within the mouth of a snake with the fangs keeping it in it's socket. The hilt is actually marble white of magebane though that was an attempt to further imprison the demon, it made no difference in the end. It's length is a hand and a half length. The pommel ends with smooth, elongated smooth knob.
The sheath is just as richly crafted. It's fitted with clamp so that the blade won't slide out by accident, a simple flick of a finger releases the blade. The sheath is made of black ironwood lined with integrate silver of mithril. THe pattern is that of a snake which reaches from end to end. The end where the blade slides in is of an open snakes head, giving the impression of a snake swallowing the blade. The eyes are socket-ed with vibrant rubies. The sword is often worn with a long dagger that is nearly 2 feet in length and of very same design though made of almost black blue steel and the hilt is of whitened ironwood. The sheath is much less adorned than that of the sword.
A suit of fine Steel armor that is worn on both ceremonial occasions and war times. Even though decorated and engraved, it's very suitable for battle and made to protect as well as stand on ceremony. It was made for his great great grandfather, Harken Desol who established the Desol power in Port Slaughter. It is resistant but not invulnerable to magnetism.
The red gem on the helmet is a special form of crystalloid but the only real thing is does is to give the visor a malevolent red glow when it's worn by Desol Blood. Harken was a strong believer in "Clothes make the man"
As Haklo got older, his training got a bit tougher. Once he was training with one of the underling guards and it ended with Haklo stabbing him through the neck without remorse in the heat of the moment. Haklo was barely punished by it, the guard's family given a meager payment for the incident. He was becoming more like his father with each passing day though they were different in ways. Haklo did not agree how his father was, in his eyes, obvious with the way he ran things. He didn't agree how he let Port Slaughter be such a cesspool and letting the dirt show for all to see. He saw that it would be far preferable to put more facade to it, to clean the curtains that hid the mastermind. That is how he thought barely into his adult years.
As his own magical abilities began to develop, Baron Desol himself along with his warlocks took it to themselves to help him to keep his powers in check and inform him of useful tactics to use against other magebloods. He had inherited his father's abilities of telepathy and mental manipulation and trained to keep it from being a detriment and cloud his mind with unguarded thoughts of those around him. With that, his father insisted that his son get proper training at a collage as Haklo was the latest generation of a long line of Desol Psychomancers and to prepare to carry the Desol family duty of keeping the Aether Serpent in check.
At his hip, Haklo Desol wears a sword of the highest quality steel blackened during forging. Each one of the Desol house, including their honorguard, were to be seen with a black sword, the secondary symbol of their house. He also wields a long dagger over a foot in length, slim and slender blade sheathed with the sword. Both can cut through flesh rather well.
The blade is three fingers in width and the crossguard that's straight and ends in blunted spikes. The grip is made of wood and covered in redend shagreen of an exotic shark like fish that does not deteriorate in hot climates. The pommel however is made of the same steel and crafted into the shape of a rather realistic looking snake's head with bright rubies for eyes. It's mouth is open with it's fangs showing.
Good Attributes: He is trained in various weaponry by his father's loyal guards and riding. He is learned in sophistication and court rules and history of his family line. He has basic knowledge of noblefolk and royality of importance. He can be single minded in the good way that little will stand in his way of his goals. He is a master with a sword and knife and ruthless in his attacks with them, going for Achilles tendons and hamstrings when not going deadly on his foe.
Single Minded/Driven: When he sets his mind to it, there is very few things that are able to stop him. He'll go to the ends of the world to achieve it.
Tactical: He is very tactical in his mindset. He is not one to make unnecessary risks and make meaningless sacrifices. He prizes his resources and allies.
Informed: Mostly in the areas of Djarkal and in the court of nobility, he is very knowledgeable. He can blend in easily in such crowds
Wealth: With his father's wealth, starving is the least of his worries.
Rank of Nobility: Mostly in the lands of Djarkal, his authority is high when he shows the emblem of House of Desol; A black scaled snake stabbed through the mouth with a golden sword. A symbol of the Desol resolution, determination and responsibility.
Words of House Desol: "Power for those who can take it"
Bad Attributes: He might get too ruthless towards anyone he sees as a detriment to his goals, be that persona a friend or foe. If an immediate detriment, he will not be above outright killing the person. If such action would put him in danger, he would try and orchestrate the person's demise or to be just out of his way.
Self-Centered: His number one concern is with himself. He has very little concern for others as that is how he was raised, to set his own goals above others unless helping would further his goals.
Little to no Empathy: He rarely cares about other people's pain. They do not concern him. His respect is to those who are able to take it.
Other: The Desol Family are often known by another name, "Snakeguards"
