Umber

Status: Alive

Umber is quite a terrifying creature, towering over most at nine feet tall. His skin tone is black and he has terrifying red eyes. He doesn't have any hair, yet he sports intricate horns on the top of his head. He has a long tail and long, claw like hands. He doesn't wear any clothing and he levitates wherever he goes.

### Personality:

Umber is, by all means, evil. He sees every person he comes in contact with as something to toy with either physically, mentally, or both. He enjoys having company and enjoys new company even more, but only because he enjoys manipulating or torturing his new or current company. One individual is the exception, Azriel, Umber's disciple, and companion. In most if not all situations, Umber remains calm and collected. He almost comes off as tired or bored and that this is all just a game he's played before. Umber does find intrigue in new things, especially the young and innocent. He sees these people as putty he can mold into something exceptional in his eyes or experiment with how much he can test their limitations until they break apart.

## Background

### History:

As he grew, the demon found the strongest thoughts were the ones produced when one was highly stressed, afraid, angered. Umber couldn't tell you whether or not it was the nature of his abilities that made him so malevolent, but he did know his abilities made it easy to be so.

Umber's only ambition was a desire to feed on strong emotions until he came across a runt among his orc brethren, outcast for his perceived weakness. The runt may have died if it hadn't been for his cleverness. This was one of the few times that Umber found himself intrigued by another. This creature was experiencing a pattern of emotions Umber hadn't felt before. Deep within its deep sorrow was a small ember. Rage. Umber could have just ended the orc's life, but he stoked the flames of rage in his heart. The orc took its revenge by plunging an axe into his former warchief's skull.

Manipulation was far more entertaining and gave Umber far more emotion to feed on. He sought out broken people, outcasts, and those that were just vulnerable enough to steer them in that direction. He still killed from time to time if he couldn't find a worthy prospect to feed on fleeting emotions as his victims died. Umber's prospects never lasted long. Their emotions overtook them or he pushed them too far. Some wouldn't know when to stop, and others quit their goals too soon.

After some time, Umber took a break from the broken and deemed Aklenroth an ally he should have. He'd be able to venture further under the Lich King's rule as he championed demons. Umber knew he was a member of a powerful species, but demons were rarely united. Umber hunted many enemies for the Lich King and spread fear throughout Avalia.. He served Aklenroth for years before he came across someone intriguing. She was a child. So young but she had the ember that flickered in the deep pit of sorrow. Her name was Azriel Corbeau and she became the most successful prospect yet. The lonely child that trailed behind him grew to become a deadly partner at his side. She got her revenge, she made a name for herself, and better yet, she had control over the rage that burned within her heart. A rage that Umber had stoked, but Azriel now commanded. The two are known as Aklenroth's Wraiths, delivering death to the Lich King's enemies.

He has the ability to telepathically pick up thoughts heavily tied to emotions (ex. Dues Vult!) and emotions themselves. Umber can induce short term hallucinations in others using their own thoughts and emotions or his own imagination. He can only induce these illusions after picking up emotions from another. The more emotion, the more effective the hallucination.
