Tchernobog (Blood)

==Summary==
Tchernobog is a major villain of the Blood franchise, appearing as the primary antagonist and final boss of the first game and remaining as a central motivating factor of the second game. As the leader and commanding force of the Cabal, he is a primordial entity of overwhelming power, and is the primary being tasked with maintaining the threads of reality and separating the dimensions from each other.
The force that makes up Tchernobog requires a physical body in order to perform its tasks. After his first vessel was destroyed, the Cabal was formed as a means of continually furnishing him with an incarnate body should his current form ever be destroyed again. As time went on, Tchernobog reincarnated into many different forms, eventually taking on the form of a "bitter and hate-filled man". This resulted in the Cabal's transformation into a dark cult, with the Cabal now acting as Tchernobog's personal army on Earth. During this time Tchernobog also became a more active force in the world, giving orders from his throne in the Hall of the Epiphany. Four of his ranks became the Chosen, his most elite servants as well as the highest generals in his army.
In a bid for more power, Tchernobog eventually decided to cast the Chosen down under the pretense of them having "failed" him, knowing that their leader would at some point return in order to seek vengeance on him while claiming lives and growing stronger along the way. This later proved to be his undoing, as the power his would-be sacrifice had gained in the ensuing rampage of revenge allowed him to challenge Tchernobog and defeat him in battle, unknowingly absorbing the slain god's reality-binding powers in the process.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , Environmental Destruction
Name: Tchernobog, The Dreaming God, The Sleeping God, the Devourer of Souls, The One that Binds.
Origin: Blood
Gender: Varies; its current incarnation is male
Age: Unknown (The force that makes up Tchernobog is stated to be "as old as time", though the current/16th incarnation's vessel is much younger to an unknown degree)
Classification: Dark god, leader of the Cabal, reality-binding entity
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Type 1 and 6), Magic, Reality Warping and Spatial Manipulation (Is the necessary force which binds and separates realities from each other), Possession (Possessed a man in order to speak to the Chosen. Permanently possesses a new vessel every time he is killed, transforming it into the next incarnation of himself), Fire Manipulation, Deconstruction (Evaporated the flesh from a man's bones. Vaporized a procession of worshippers with a thought. His form completely disintegrates those who make physical contact with him), Soul Manipulation (Can generate fireballs which deal Spirit damage. One of his many names, "the Devourer of Souls", implies such), BFR (Can open up nigh-bottomless holes in the ground to cast enemies into), Telepathy (Spoke to Ishmael from far away), Empowerment (As his powers are not yet complete, Tchernobog's powers grow with time Caleb Resurrection (Via possession), possible Madness Manipulation (Type 3; the Blood manual states that "Those who peer fully into His smouldering gaze are condemned to madness and death."), Power Absorption (Able to absorb the power of those he has killed, and planned on doing so to Caleb), Resistance to Life Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (Able to withstand large amounts of direct Spirit damage including Caleb's Life Leech), Resistance to Electricity (The Tesla Cannon's alternate fire, which delivers enough electricity to completely paralyze its victim, has almost no effect on him)
Attack Potency: Building level (Was initially the strongest member of the Cabal, being far superior to all of his Chosen as well as his other generals. Even after Caleb grew stronger from absorbing the essence of the other Chosen, Tchernobog still posed a major threat to him), Universe level+ Environmental Destruction (Was the original One That Binds before Caleb absorbed his powers. Stated to be a necessary force in the universe), a few of his powers can ignore conventional durability
Speed: Supersonic combat speed and reactions (Comparable to Caleb)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (Much stronger than Caleb)
Striking Strength: Building level
Durability: Building level
Stamina: Superhuman
Range: Extended Melee Range physically, Tens of Meters with projectiles, far higher with fire manipulation and other powers, Low Multiversal with Environmental Destruction (Serves as the force that separates the dimensions from one another. Without him all the dimensions would intermingle, and ultimately destroy one another) 
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Gifted (Is implied/stated to have existed in many incarnations for as long as time itself, and has likely fought many battles over the years as a result. After casting Caleb down, he anticipated the latter's return, as well as the increase in power the latter obtained by absorbing the essences of those he had killed over the course of the first game, intending to take that power for himself)
Weaknesses: Requires a vessel to reincarnate. Inferred to be megalomaniacal and psychotic as a result of the tendencies of his current vessel.
