## History

### Childhood in Slavery: 1979 - 2000

Born into a family of slaves, Croil lived a rough and unhealthy life. With his parents dying while he was ten, Croil was forced to work harder than before as a way to bring food and supplies in for him and his younger brother. The situation worsened when a group of slavers kidnapped Croil and his brother, separating them. Whipped into submission, Croil would be forced to build a statue in honor of King Erendor.

### Darkling Lord: 2000 - Present Day

Salvation would finally come in the form of Darkstorm, a Darkling Lord who knew what it was like to serve those who didn't disserve power. Proving himself to be a skilled fighter, Croil was welcomed to the Darkling Lords with open arms.

With new allies at his side, Croil fought through legions of Merklynn's forces, before discovering Lord Darkar had been defeated. Going into hiding, Croil would return to his home of Khemir. Hiding within the shadows, Croil watched as the enslaved village was slowly turned into a Metropolis.

It wouldn't be long however before he would regain contact with his fellow Darkling Lords, who revealed to Croil the location of the man responsible for Khemir's Techno-Magic Revolution. Travelling to the mans residence with the intention to kill, Croil discovered that this person was his Brother. Noticing that Croil was hesitating, Virulina assassinated the man and a woman who was with him. Snapping back to reality, after witnessing the sight he did, Croil heard the faint cries of a baby coming from another room. While Virulina wanted to snap the newborns neck, Croil chose to spare the child, taking it in as his own, viewing the incident as his fault.

## Threat Assessment

### Resources

* **Dark Sorcerer** - Due to his affiliation with the Darkling Lords, Croil can control and manipulate Dark Magic, along with Anti-Magic.
	+ **Astral Magic** - Croil is able to utilize magical powers and spells related to the astral plane and its energies.
	+ **Shadow Magic** - Croil is able to perform a legendary form of magic that allows him to cast magical spells and feats derived from shadows and darkness.
	+ **Cursed Attacks** - Croil can use cursed attacks of various shapes and intensities, either projected or used as a part of melee attacks.
	+ **Anti-Magic Defense** - Croil possesses defensive skills that are enhanced by anti-magic, allowing him to block, parry, dodge, etc., with the power of anti-magic
	+ **Anti-Magic Combat** - Croil is able to infuse anti-magic with physical attacks, using anti-magical energies to blast away and overwhelm opponents and strengthen attacks.

### Weaknesses

* **A Price** - Use of Anti-Magic requires intense amounts of life energy. This has left Croil in a semi-weakened state where he has to use a cane whenever he's travelling anywhere.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

* Croil despises Virulina for killing his Brother. This hasn't weakened his allegiance to the Darkling Lords however as he's still loyal to Darkstorm, who sympathized with his emotionally traumatized teammate.
* Croil runs an underground militia force in Khemir, holding a tight grip on the poorer members of the Cities populace.

### Notes

* Croil is a lesser known Character from Visionaries. Croil didn't get anything related to character due to the figure being cancelled, so the Universe 2020.06 version of him is completely original.
	+ His relation to Tecna is also a Universe 2020.06 original.
