Evorio of Akavir

## Appearance

Evorio is is a mer that some believe to be an aldmer, bosmer, dunmer or some even claims that he was born in Akavir due to his oriental style.

He is often seen wearing clothes with a predominance of black, which only makes him look more paler than he normally is. Most of the time Evorio is seen in Akaviri styled armor and katana being equipped on his right hip.

His arms, rarely shown to the public, are covered with oriental looking tattoos depicting something similar to waves or air swirls. Years of trainings and self discipline allowed his body to stay in it's best form, making it battle ready whenever it's needed.

## Personality

At first glance Evorio may be seen as rough and sharp due to speaking his mind without beating around the bush or sugarcoating. Inability to blend into Tamrielic culture only adds to his social awkwardness. He is rarely opening himself and showing his feelings, if at all.

Nevertheless he is trying to be helpful whenever he can in his very own twisted manner, even if sometimes outcome of his help turns out to give opposite results.

In general Evorio is very proud and stubborn. This is mostly due to his upbringing received by his Akaviri master Aedian Shadowfang. Evorio is following his warrior code and rules that seem not to be very popular in Tamriel. He values his sword equally with his life and believes it has it's own soul that one must bond with, and to fully understand and feel the blade a warrior must forge it himself. He treats it with the utmost respect and believes that the sword is only drawn to kill, therefore he does not duel.

## History

Not much is known about Evorio's past. Only selected few know that he used to be a slave boy rescued by his master, Aedian, who taught him the way of the sword. The only fact that might be known to the public is that his master was killed by a vampire which led Evorio to the proffession he is mostly known from; a Vampire Hunter

In the past he had an episode of being a captain in Aldmeri Dominion army leading his squad to the victory. Yet one of the battles left noone alive.

In recent years Evorio joined The Order of Silver Sentinels that was said to be fighting with the daedric forces. He was very quickly promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and advised Commander Elestra Tharn when he felt like it might be needed. After Elestra's desertion from the order, Evorio, Kyra Leith and Grimmare Silvershield tried to rebuild the order by convincing Lauriel Highwatch to take the command of the Sentinels, but they failed in the end.

In the result people from the order started spending more and more time in The Drunken Hound tavern owned by Fenris Bade. Some of them, including Evorio, became tavern guards.

Later on he joined the Order of the White Wing led by Eltriel Amarantha and took part in the battle against forces of Lord Woodcolt, who used to command the assault on the ones on the way to the order's fort. Shortly after, Evorio agreed on becoming a captain for the order and took care of the troops and their training. Not long after that, the order has fallen and been disbanded due to the resignation of it's commander who got pregnant.

Soon after Evorio found abandoned ruins and along with Fenris Bade they settled a village called Aldnium. Their hard work and dedication put to it did go to waste as the village was raided and burnt by a werewolf tribe. This left Evorio devastated and made him lose his temper. He started to focus on killing vampires with all the goryness he could ever imagine trying to lose his humanity. This led him to realise that he is becoming more and more lonely leading him to depression. He decided to set the sails to unknown lands to the place he called home to regain his inner peace.

## Abilities

The most known ability of his is the perfectly mastered use of single-edged akaviri blade. Years of training with the same sword made it his arm's extension during the fight.

Some people say that he defeats his enemies with superhuman strenght and speed, but that's probably only because of how fluent Evorio's moves are during the dance with his katana.

Because of his master's teachings and the need of keeping his blade and armor in pristine condition Evorio became an excellent blacksmith. When he is not killing monsters he may be ocassionally forging something for the profit.

## Equipment

* Katana

Most noticable thing in Evorio's inventory is his Akaviri Katana "Misutakaosu" laying on his hip. It has black hilt and silver looking round guard (tsuba) and trims. Blade itself is red and smells of blood. Probably it is used to lure vampires with it's scent. Even if the blade is not covered with silver it is said to damage daedric creatures badly and even disable healing of the cut places.

* Wakizashi and Tanto

Two offhand weapons, shorter version of katana for closed quarters combat and second, dagger version are rarely used and of not bigger use, as the main katana is mostly preffered.

* Armor

Akaviri stylised armor is the reason why Evorio is called the Black Demon. Big horns at the top of the helmet and devilish smile on faceguard (mempo) are intimidating to his preys, stunning them in fear and adding some extra time to perform the deadly strike.

* Sash

The magical sash! Well... not really magical, but it holds many interesting items. There are vials with various content inside of them. Among them is all vampires'

favourite - potions containing silver. Some blood for luring the creatures.
