Dread the Third

**Dread**, the **Sadistic Warden of Chains**, makes extensive use of his fearsome scythe and horrifically loathsome chains to reap all evil souls, and none shall escape his sight.

## Biography

### Background

Before he became the reaper... He was born in Razistan and was known as **Kazimierczak Dreddmille**. His family has a long line of cops, but some are notorious executioners, sometimes publicly. Kazi was an elderly man who lived alone but was known to be supportive of his family.

He was in charge of executing fifteen criminals sentenced to death in the summer of 1885. Kazi lost his job after sadistically executing the fifteen; when he was only ordered to behead all the criminals, he went on a frenzy and tore them apart like a madman, such as skinning and choking them to death, or decapitation.... This act resulted in his suspension from his position as an executioner, and he was on the run from the Razikstani police, who had placed a large bounty on his head, dead or alive.

Dread, on the other hand, was disgraced by his family as a result of his actions. As a result, he led a chaotic life, moving around different cities and countries in an attempt to avoid local authorities. This evasion strategy was so effective that the manhunt for him vanished like ash.

His curiosity caused him and travels to the so-called *Lands of Vile*. That is where he met God's reapers, which are only two, currently. Kane accurately analyses his background and life.... Adler was displeased about his actions, so Kane decided to give him the worst trial in all of reaper history.

Displeased with Kazi failing the first trials, he was then forced into a colosseum arena as an ultimatum to be a reaper, facing a bunch of Villyen powered warriors. Kazi maximises the use of speed and unpredictability to overwhelm his opposition. However, the two reapers were actually unimpressed so Kazi took a reaper scythe and lets his sadism took over and ends up annihilating them, to prove his point. Kane nods at approval and discernibly observes Kazi's sadism through his infectious evil-like smile.

### The Warden of Chains

Now becoming a Reaper, Kazi has become reimagined as Dread; Or Dread the Third. He now left the lands of vile and decided to embark a quest and fulfil his duty for quenching all the evil souls in his sight. His most notable actions were at the *Saint Frederick 1905 Massacre*.

In 1905, Dread's first solo job was to eliminate all known evildoers and absorb their souls. The evildoers were actually Nightwalkers, Witches and infected outlaws. Dread not only did it flawlessly, but sadistically. He used his loathsome chains to strangle the souls out of their bodies, and his scythe to cleave them into annihilation, served by the third incarnation of Death himself.

## Personality

Dread the Third is extremely cunning and sadistic. Fully compelled to inflict pain and a slow excruciating death on the sinful adversaries. His astute intellect enables him to make logical decisions and improvise in battle, stating that he prefers to reap souls head-on rather than listening to a fully coordinated tactical plan.

## Abilities

The Third Reaper is the **Sadistic Warden of Chains**, who notably complements his impressive fighting ability with the sadistic use of the *Chains of Death* for maximum suffering and acquisition of his foes' souls that bear eternal damnation.

* **Reaper Physiology**: Dread is a reaper empowered by Villyen. Due to this, he has heightened physical attributes and capabilities.
	+ **Soul Absorption**: He had the ability to absorb souls as a reaper. Either with his body or with his own scythe.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Dread is exceptionally durable despite his slender frame and relatively frail physiology. He is immune to toxic substances such as gases and toxins.
