Epidemion Mortis

"I recommended Bubonic Plague to cure the pestilence called living"

## History

Some months ago Epidemion or Eliot Harper at the time was a researcher at a magical research facility specializing in understanding and either curing or weaponizing various diseases for the sake of the Kingdom. The facilities existence was hidden from the public as the notion for the research performed would cause outrage and blame for any disease that might spring up whether related to it or not. Eliot's knowledge of bacteria, viruses, and disease causing microbes became excessively vast, so much so it drew to attention of his peers and higher ranked members of the research division. However they where not the only ones to catch notice for even the gaze of otherworldly entities fell on him. He soon found himself promoted to Chief Research Officer having nearly unlimited access to samples and documents to further his studies. It was around this time that the dreams started to happen, incredibly vivid dreams of cures for pathogens that had long since abandoned as fools errands. His position skyrocketed and he became even more dependent on the dreams for further break throughs but the dreams slowed to a trickle and stopped. His work stagnated and he was at a loss, his superiors began questioning if his position should be maintained. Just at the brink of hopelessness another dream came to him, but it wasn't like the other. No in this a figure stood before him, they had a muscular yet toned physic with greying semi-decayed. instead of a normal human head the entity had the skull of a ram with most of the skin rotted off. Every breath the creature took a swarm flies would bellow out. The creature then spoke revealing itself to be a god known as Apollyon, a god of Disease and Decay. He was impressed with the knowledge that Eliot had of the marid of diseases but knew that he was destined for greater things. He offered to make him his Scion and all he asked to show his allegiance was to spread the illnesses that the laboratory kept to the populous and destroy the cures. Eliot who was tempted by the knowledge he knew he would receive accepted and his new god gave him a new name "Epidemion Mortis". It only took a few days for the weaponized diseases to wipe out most of the kingdom, though he served faithfully Apollyon did not prevent his Scion from contracting the same deadly illnesses that had wiped out the rest of the nation. He sat in his office choking on his own blood but was strangle happy for he had performed his duty splendidly. His eyes slowly flicked closed, he though for the very last time but seeming like hours later he awoke. To add to the confusion it wasn't where he lost his consciousness either, his conclusion was that Apollyon must have transported his somewhere and revived him for his great deeds. Epidemion grinned knowing what he must do for this new place greatly lacked in the sickness and maladies that his god desired, soon Apollyon's Soul Plague will consume the Blockade and all of it's inhabitants.
