Grahwol

Grahwol was a Blood Priest and member of the Order of Blood. He operated out of Retha and aided with the recruitment of new acolytes. He was assigned to the Purification Monastery and used a ritual to seal away Eldei, leading to a deadly confrontation with the Starrite Guardians. He was no match for the heroes and the battle quickly resulted in his explosive death.

## Appearance

Grahwol is a human but covers his entire body with red rags and pieces of metal armor around his shoulders. He covers his own arms and uses a pair of blood arms instead. He carries the symbol of blood magic on the front of his clothes.

## Brief History

Grahwol was born as a regular Human with a different name but was inducted into the Order of Blood. He became committed to the cause and vowed to bring about the Blood Moon and create a better blood-filled world. Grahwol rose to the rank of Blood Priest, obtained his new name, and was entrusted with one of the Coins of Hope.

When Moon Reaper Eldei descended onto Senothia, Grahwol used a special ritual to seal her away atop the Purification Monastery. Not long after, the Starrite Guardians arrived, and began to talk about the Blood Order. The Starrites saw Grahwol as deranged and decided that taking his coin was the best option. A fight ensued and Grahwol was quickly overwhelmed. He attempted to warn them of Eldei but was killed nonetheless, with his body exploding into cursed blood.

## Abilities

Like all blood priests, Grahwol had great control over cursed blood and the magic surrounding it. Asides from controlling blood, he also had knowledge of various sacred rituals.

* **Blood Magic Manipulation-** Being in the Order of Blood automatically allows an individual to access blood magic. This gives the user several powers, combining different aspects of both Water and Dark Magic. Additionally, Grahwol could crush the veins of his opponents from a distance.
	+ **Blood Constructs-** Grahwol could control any blood into forming constructs such as a pair of arms or projectiles like damaging pieces of blood.
	+ **Lifesteal-** Similarly to the vampires of old, Grahwol could use life steal to automatically heal himself after any damage he dealt to his opponents.
* **Blood Rituals-** Grahwol could use a combination of his blood magic and ancient knowledge to perform unique rituals that would give him different types of aid. One of which was used to seal away Eldei.
	+ **Priest Communication-** This ritual would call upon the wisdom of the original two blood priests. It would allow Grahwol to communicate with the two priests, though it's a rite to be used with purpose.
	+ **Arena Blood Flood-** This ritual would flood the immediate area with marked blood that could be manipulated however Grahwol pleased, though it's not usually meant for battle.
	+ **Acolyte Summoning-** This last ritual could physically summon lesser blood acolytes to wherever Grahwol was located. They would assist their priest in battle or whatever other purpose was required.

## Weaknesses

* **Marked Blood-** Grahwol's blood was marked by the Catalyst upon joining the order. Although he is not under constant surveillance of a higher power, any disloyalty would result in severe consequences as the Catalyst could attack his blood directly.

## Trivia

* Grahwol sacrificed the flesh and bones of his legs, now only using the strength of their veins and arteries to move.
