Palladio

Palladio as an antagonist featured in The Emptiness Campaign, and later a major antagonist in the Longest Night Oneshot after he ascended to be Alache.

As an NPC he was played by Finley.

## Background

Palladio belonged to a nomadic people who traveled from place to place in search of their prophesized god, Alache, a being said to take the form of a winged, grey-skinned and horned creature who would grant miracles to those that were faithful.

Eventually, the nomads found Ebros and Meno Shoeman, tieflings that they believed to be gods. They worshiped them with intense vigor, but none more so than Palladio who quickly rose to become a high priest of Alache, taking special interest in Meno.

After a year of worship though, it became clear that Meno was not able to preform the miracles he was thought too. Betrayed, Palladio was the first to turn against him, channeling his anger into punishing the false god. Meno eventually escaped, leaving Palladio desperate to fill the void of his god.

Palladio sent out his underlings to search for a god, and they eventually found Ebros Enzo Shoeman, and captured him, hoping to get him to perform a miracle. Once again this was a fruitless endeavor, as The Troupe came to Ebros' rescue.

The Troupe quickly defeated Palladio, bludgeoning him to death with animated rocks in what they called "The Blender". Despite his death, his spirit lingered, angered, stewing in his defeat.

The anger ended up actualizing into something much stronger, and Palladio himself ascended to godhood, and brought himself back to earth in order to destroy the people that humiliated in such a manor. He became a god of hatred and resentment, and declared himself Alache.

Alache whispered to a fellow mortal god, Ebros telling him that he could grant Ebros' wishes of being able to bring back his comrades' fallen family in order to make them happy. This of course was a half truth, as he brought them back as horrible undead which The Troupe had to face.

The Troupe once again defeated Alache and destroyed the remainder of the church, laying the remnants and memory of Alache finally to rest.

## Personality

As a mortal, Palladio was flirty and extremely devoted to his religion. He thought himself to be better than just about everyone else due to his previously relationship to someone who he thought was his god as well as his status as the high priest of Alache.

As Alache, Palladio was only able to feel hatred and wished only for retribution against those who wronged him.

## Appearance

As a mortal, Palladio was a tall, slender half elf with pale skin and waist length blonde hair, and sparkling blue eyes. He had an angular face.

He wore nothing but white robes with gold accents.

As Alache, he looked very similar to how he looked in life, though his wounds from his previous death remained, causing him to look broken, blood and brains spilling from a lumbering body. His eye hung from it's socket, ruined. In addition to that he had horns bursting from his caved in skull and large, leathery wings that carried his body around.

## Relationships

### Meno Shoeman

While Meno was thought to be a god, Palladio waited on him day and night, utterly enamored with his god. The two were sexually involved, Palladio wanting nothing more than to bring Meno joy.

When it was revealed that Meno was not a god, Palladio was not just spiritually betrayed, but hurt emotionally.
