Optin Eil

Optin Eil is an Angel infuriated with Haivehn's way of life which ultimately led him to make a deal and become one of Gohdumsin's underlings. This gave him great shadow powers, and with his master's help, managed to overthrow the Angel King. His rule was short-lived when the Heralds of Retha challenged his rebellion and defeated Optin.

## Appearance

Optin Eil is a gray-skinned Angel with a bald head and a mouth stitched closed. He is tall and somewhat elderly. He wears purple rags with spikes over his torso and shoulders as well as welding large glowing purple wings. Additionally, there is a glowing purple eye on his forehead.

## Brief History

Optin Eil in an elderly Angel who lived in Haivehn and followed their strict laws. When Hgel was mysteriously fused into Haivehn, Optin's anti-order views increased. Not long after he was approached by the King of Darkness, Gohdumsin. The Voidal Knight convinced Optin to make a deal and receive power in exchange for loyalty. Optin accepted, and became one of the gifted.

After Gohdumsin weakened the Angel King himself, Optin was able to overthrow the deity and take his place as the ruler of Haivehn. He planted his watching eyes throughout the city and convinced many angels to go rogue in pursuit of anarchy.

The Heralds of Retha soon returned to Haivehn. After hearing about the rebellion they head toward Silvenst's main tower. Optin attempted to stop the heroes by sending his Cursed Angels, but they were all defeated. Using Gohdumsin's information Optin was able to plan for their arrival. When the Heralds reached his chamber the angel was prepared to fight. He nearly succeeded in defeating the heroes, but was finally destroyed and had his powers absorbed by Daniel Skrimir.

## Abilities

Optin Eil was gifted a fraction of Gohdumsin's real power. This allowed Optin to manipulate a powerful form of shadow magic through a curse, although it had disadvantages.

* **Multilingualism-** Optin is capable of speaking and understanding common, angelic, and umbra speak.
* **Angel Physiology-** Optin has the natural body of an Angel, allowing him to use his wings to fly.
* **Shadow Magic Manipulation-** Optin Eil became very skilled at manipulating a versatile form of shadow magic. Several abilities could only be used in shadow-enhanced environments, but were quite effective.
	+ **Messaging-** This allows Optin to telepathically talk to someone nearby of his choice. This isn't a spell used for combat, but more for communication and tactic.
	+ **Shadow Sight-** Optin can carve a specific marking of his third eye onto surfaces, allowing him to see through it. He is rendered vulnerable while using this ability.
	+ **Physical Doll Creation-** Using voodoo magic Optin can create a Physical Doll. The host mirrors the doll's movements perfectly, giving Optin an advantage over his foes.
	+ **Shadow Taking-** A very draining ability, weak and unwise opponents are briefly absorbed into their shadow and reappear without it. The equally-powerful shadow begins to fight its former host. If defeated it returns to normal.
	+ **Body Dispersal-** Optin is able to use shadow magic manipulate and disperse his body in several ways. However, it can only be used in a shadow-enhanced environment.
		- **Shadow Duplicates-** Multiple shadow clones are created. They all look just like Optin and deal damage to whoever hits them.
		- **Shadow Constructs-** Optin can manipulate shadows to create a large floating head with a set of large floating hands. These constructs reflect their damage taken back to Optin but have high destructive capabilities.
		- **Shadow Movement-** Optin's body can temporarily turn into a shadow itself and swiftly move into other shadows.
	+ **Cursed Angel Creation-** Optin can imbue regular angels with some power, granting them a Shadow Angel Sword, increased physical abilities, and a curse of blindness.

## Weaknesses

* **Shadow Curse-** Optin's powers come at a great cost. He is always unable to speak and walk, only communicating through minds and moving with his wings. Using certain powers make him vulnerable. Additionally, he wields an immense weakness to light.
