Gaius

====
===Origins===
A gifted youngster, always playing with things he shouldn't be playing with.
Gaius's bravery would subsequently land him as an Arcane Knight trainee, a very small, exclusive group of practicers of magic, who would use their knowledge and capabilities to help humanity endure even in the most dire of circumstances.
===The Arcane Tragedy===
Gaius was one of the most promising Arcane Knight students. He showed great potential in bravery and leadership at the early stages of his training and he was greatly respected by his peers and even mentors. But, the more he improved, the more he came close to the peak of the practice, the more addicted he became towards magic. Unable to resist and reaching levels of magic unheard of before, he was driven mad. His entire being, thoughts and goals were all magic-oriented. He needed to satisfy his thirst for magic at all costs. Even though he realized it's a curse that he'll be forever bound to, it actually gave him pleasure in quenching his thirst, like scratching an itch.
When his appetite for magic isn't satisfied, he would feel weak, demotivated and will quickly lose will to live. He forced his masters to make him complete his Arcane Knight training, a feat which was never achieved before and then he killed all of the masters of the practice, taking many casualties of his peers, who tried to contain him along the way. He didn't want anyone to ever be able to reach his level of arcane artistry. He left the temple, covered in death and ruins and he went missing ever since, showing up occassionally only to stir trouble.
He became so masterful at magic, that he can even stop the heart of a person if he concentrated enough. He, alone can summon whole volcanic eruptions in the middle of nowhere, without even violating the known laws of physics. Rumor has it, if one would look directly into his eyes for more than a second, he could cause your eyes to burst and turn your blood to lava, killing you instantly.What started off as an extremely talented and promising student, turned out to be an agent of evil, chaos and destruction, who takes pleasure in inflicting pain, only to satisfy the curse that had befallen upon him.
===Armageddon===
Having established that nothing on Earth will satisfy his addiction to magic, Gaius pledges loyalty to Nightmare in his quest, with the promise of unlimited magic to quench his thirst for the arcane.
