Mirkus

"She takes a step closer and wraps her arms around me, her head on my shoulder. I return the gesture. I feel the wetness of her cheek on the cloth of my shirt, but I don’t dare move her. After a moment of embracing, she pushes me away and wipes the tears from her face... I turn to the door, and leave, without looking back." - Mirkus prepares to leave Fendreic.Mirkus was once a cleric belonging to the Holy Knights of Fendreic, but an as-of-now unknown series of events turned him into an assassin, possessed by someone lurking in the shadows.
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
He has dark green hair, and bright brown eyes that appear red (though his natural eye colour is in fact a dark green). He wears green trousers, and white armour (gauntlets and boots) with light green highlights. Nothing covers his chest, but he is often seen with bandages around his stomach.
=== Personality ===
Mirkus was a well-liked but quiet member of the Holy Knights, generally hanging around in the background until called upon. He showed deep love and care for his unnamed wife, and had a child with her that he never got to meet.
After the aforementioned unknown series of events, Mirkus appeared as cruel and merciless, ruthlessly dispatching of his targets without second thought.
=== Skills/Abilities ===
He is very strong, able to wield a large greatsword one-handed, and is a trained cleric, able to heal wounds and summon godly powers. 
After the unknown series of events, he showed the power to absorb and store energy, before releasing it in a stronger form.
== History ==
Mirkus was part of a company of Holy Knights who traveled to the southern desert island of Quaartheim, supposedly in order to combat a 'great evil'. While the outcome of the expedition is as of yet unknown, it is known that Mirkus certainly survived, albeit possessed by something or someone.
He caused a lot of trouble throughout Quaartheim during the years he spent trapped inside his own mind, but was eventually freed from his mental prison when an assassination attempt of his was foiled by Gruffydd of Fendreic. Towards the end of the battle, Mirkus was killed by a fatal blow to his stomach from Sekoriante, who died of his injuries alongside him.
== Trivia ==
* In Chapter 4 of An Eye For An Eye, during his and Sekoriante's simultaneous deaths, he utters the word 'son' in a tone of anguish.
