ADLEHR

ADLEHR is a ruthless, brutal Grim Reaper enhanced from the power of Nextech itself. Once a former reaper known as Adler, he initially killed Laura before the latter has set free against him and lived a normal life with a gunslinger. Now with his new form, he exacts revenge against his mortal enemy, Eion. 
==Biography==
===True Background===
Before he became the reaper... He was born in Razikstan and was known as Kazimierczak Dreddmille. His family has a long line of cops, but some are notorious executioners, sometimes executing criminals publicly without government approval. Kazi was a troubled kid but grew up to be an elderly man who lived alone but was known to be supportive of his family.
He was in charge of executing fifteen criminals sentenced to death in the summer of 1885. Kazi lost his job after sadistically executing the fifteen; when he was only ordered to behead all the criminals, he went on a frenzy and tore them apart like a madman, such as skinning and choking them to death, or decapitation.... This horrifying act resulted in his suspension from his position as an executioner, and he was on the run from the Razikstani police, who had placed a large bounty on his head, dead or alive.
Dread, on the other hand, was disgraced by his family as a result of his actions. As a result, he led a chaotic life, moving around different cities and countries in an attempt to avoid local authorities. This evasion strategy was so effective that the manhunt for him vanished like ash.
His curiosity caused him and travels to the so-called Lands of Vile. That is where he met God's reapers, which are only two, currently. Kane accurately analyses his background and life.... Adler was displeased about his actions, so Kane decided to give him the worst trial in all of reaper history.
Displeased with Kazi failing the first trials, he was then forced into a colosseum arena as an ultimatum to be a reaper, facing a bunch of Villyen powered warriors. Kazi maximises the use of speed and unpredictability to overwhelm his opposition. However, the two reapers were actually unimpressed so Kazi took a reaper scythe and lets his sadism took over and ends up annihilating them, to prove his point. Kane nods at approval and discernibly observes Kazi's sadism through his infectious evil-like smile.
===Antecedent Background===
Adler was a ruthless Grim Reaper of God himself. Unlike the other members of his Four Soultakers, Adler was repulsive, sadistic, and overly brutal to the point where he goes above and beyond their conduct, such as mercilessly killing innocent people and trapping their souls for eternity with his Vile Lantern. One major deed was leading a fight against the Wardens of Light on his own, and he ends up killing Laura Woodbine in retribution for her husband, who cost him his souls and attempted to kill him.
===Bygone: The Uprising===
==== Brightblasting Adventure====
ADLEHR makes a brief appearance, having learned the location of the entire NEW/G headquarters. Knowing that everyone is inside, he throws a lantern to the ground to scare them away if they ever come out. When no one responds, he immediately slices the ground, hoping to summon Eion Brightblast. He eventually comes out, and they both have an intense stare down. The reaper communicates with him in sign language, confirming that they will fight his new allies when the time comes.
Eion later leaves as they both end their brief confrontation, allowing him to disappear into the void, awaiting anything regarding the Renegades' operations.
====Anti-Corporations====
ADLEHR was highly present among the planet as he travels into Heliga. He has ravaged on cities such as Rasuk, Tiamat, Nickoti, Vuramasi and Lachmann. As a result, he has slaughtered the nation's forces and has killed over ten thousand people in the wake of the massacre. To make things worse, he deploys as many souls as he could to consume the living, wanting to aid the renegades and S.O.L.A.C.E into restoring the megacorporation through sheer violence and genocide. However, it did not take long for the legionnaires to actually intercept his madness and quickly confronts him. He is impressed by their numbers, but declares that they will never be enough to defeat him.
He them a very one-sided fight. As thousands of souls engulf the heroes, until NEXTECH Man fights him and quickly forces him to a duel. He later defeats him with ease, mocking him for wearing an "outlandish" suit and using a hammer to fight. Spartacus Brightspear later starfalls on him, but he shrugs as he only gets bothered and is seemingly unfazed by the impact. Notably, Gwyneth Forgesteel was able to best him in combat after a short while, that he simply knocked her out by dropping rubble on her through annoyance.
He wins against them and knocks them out simultaneously through the use of a shockwave. In return, ADLEHR continues to spread terror as he wrecks havoc upon Heliga, and they are unable to stop his acts, solidifying their first defeat against evil. During the epic fuel of Impending Threat, he has finally squared off against Eion Brightblast, his nemesis through a series of brutal mind games, torture and later, a duel to settle their rivalry once and for all.
ADLEHR was assumed dead after the duel, whereas Eion said he died after winning. The fact is that his body was just extinguished since, as a Reaper, the loss of their vessel does not signal the end of their cycle, but rather leaves them unable to harvest and gather souls by killing mortals standing in their way. Fortunately, he has more than enough power in his mind to project an avatar based on his body, intending to spread a message.
==== Unshakeable Revelation ====
Due to his supposed death, 's spectrals are sighted all over the planet. As a result, he decides to spread terror through his eery messages, as he intends to end their bright future, and starting with his "allegiance" to the renegades, and their assistance on the corporation known as S.O.L.A.C.E. He also declares that the loss of Fiona in their war will signify the defeat of the new generation's heroes.
The reaper ends his message as he taunts the entire planet, proclaiming that LORD ANNIHILATOR will return and end this planet, forever.
==== New Heroes, Another Ultimatum====
===== Prelude =====
ADLEHR emerges from his supposed place of death as he slowly repairs himself to prepare on taking out the heroes all by himself. Not knowing that the renegades have gone into hiding, he attempts to find their base in Avarshi after the war on the Northern lands, but his efforts were futile and he was forced to kill a few soldiers to avoid being discovered and killing those that attempt to capture a photograph of him. Safe to say, he knew about Phantom Wolf's revival of LORD ANNIHILATOR
Knowing that, he intends to merge himself with the giant mech so that he can enact vengeance upon the legionnaires. 
===== Preluding the Finale =====
The Sadistic Warden of Chains took advantage of the opportunity to use Rodion as his vessel to exact his retribution on the legionnaires, enhancing himself the instant he sensed Rodion overdosing on Aether. As he merges with Rodion, he shares his thoughts, feelings, combing abilities, and passion for death. His essence, on the other hand, changed shape to enter the host's body, now glowing purple and powered by Aether and darkness itself. Despite the weakness of the nevian body, he remarks that his own might makes his new vessel more potent than before. Now that the fusion is complete, he has a new fearsome scythe and his mind is filled with passion for a torturous death to anybody who gets in his way.
Now, he wastes no time to enact Rodion's ultimatum against the Clemirosans.
=== Fate ===
Despite his newfound powers, ADLEHR, through Reaper's body and the heavy use of Aether is matched through Madeleine's skills in Hand-to-hand combat, using her bow as a melee weapon and True Ice, a hallmark of Iceborn power. Due to this, he employs the use of souls to fight her, but she quickly defends herself against his newfound abilities with immense skills, earning his rage. He then spins his scythe with insane speeds, with Madeleine barely able to dodge his whirlwind and sweeped his legs, taking his down, and he was later thrown to a very deep pit, which leaves his fate uncertain.
The last thing he saw, was Mimeographer looking down the pit, before he loses consciousness. It is uncertain if the pit has an endless hole, but the media considered him dead, stating that there is no way for him to survive such a very long fall.
==Personality==
In spite of his initial career as a heroic Grim Reaper, Adler is extremely cunning and sadistic. Fully compelled to inflict pain and a slow excruciating death on the sinful adversaries. His astute intellect enables him to make logical decisions and improvise in battle, stating that he prefers to reap souls head-on rather than listening to a fully coordinated tactical plan. ADLEHR still embraces his epithet of Sadistic Warden of Chains, who notably complements his impressive fighting ability with the sadistic use of the Chains of Death for maximum suffering and acquisition of his foes' souls that bear eternal damnation.
When he was mistakenly believed to be killed, ADLEHR is now consumed by his on souls, hellbent on vengeance and bringing damnation to all that stands in his way.
==Abilities==
ADLEHR was the offspring of his older form, Adler. This was caused by the absorption of a power known as Nextech. As a result, he acquires technologically enhanced powers that he can use to wreak havoc on his adversaries in the chrono-future of Nexonia Prime itself, bringing in his terrifying scythe and his characteristic Lantern, with which he digitally traps his enemies' souls and leaves them to suffer.
When he merged into Rodion, his power greatly increased as they both merged their consciousness at will. However, that made him vulnerable to death, resulting in his demise and Rodion.
===Moveset===
* DAMNATION: All killed enemies of have souls that he can harvest at will. This increases his resilience to attacks and grants him additional power for his own scythe. The souls are obviously stored in the lantern whenever he decides to harvest.
*DEATH SENTENCE: ADLEHR throws his scythe, and when it connects, it binds them and he can pull the enemy at will. He can also opt to dash whenever an enemy is struck by the hook.
*SOUL PASSAGE: throws out a lantern that shields nearby allies from any damage. Allies can interact with the lantern to dash to the Wrathful Reaper.
*FLAY DESECRATION: swings his scythe underhand, desecrating the ground in the process and slows the enemies around him within a small rectangular radius. This prevents them from creating an easy escape. 
*ETERNITY PRISON: He uses his powers to create a pentagonal-shaped prison that contains endless amount of souls that serve as the barriers. Any attempt of escaping a duel from him is a surely bad idea, as breaking one of the barriers will cause the souls to let loose and attack the enemy, ensuring death to whoever that successfully broke the cage in desperation.

===Skills===
*Master Manipulator: Back in the ancient days, he is perfectly capable of manipulating the souls of the damned. However the "damned" in his inventory are not usually evil people, but rather innocents and heroes. It still carries out as ADLEHR this day.
*Brilliant Strategist: To compensate for an unrefined combat ability, he has impressive strategic skills, particularly tactics. This makes him a challenging foe, making his enemies rely on intelligence over brute force and straightforward combat.
*Skilled Combatant: ADLEHR is a highly skilled fighter. He can easily annihilate an army with nothing more than raw skill, a scythe, and blinding speed.
*Expert Leader: ADLEHR seems to have remarkable leadership skills, particularly when leading his army of souls into combat.
== Trivia ==
=== General ===
* ADLEHR, was formerly the reaper known as Adler; Dread the Third.
* Arguably the most sadistic individual in all of recorded history. It became worse as he became a corrupted reaper, and later in the future as a Nextech enhanced reaper.
* Eion is his mortal enemy. Both of them will stop at nothing to kill each other when the opportunity arises. That opportunity, is now certain and nothing will stop them from having the fight of their lives.
* His lanterns are said to be extremely heavy to the point of weighing approximately five hundred tons, and he uses his chains to easily carry it around. This explains the ground cracking whenever he drops the lantern.
* When he was still sane and good, Adler was marked for his determination to finish the mission at all costs.
