Hallow

Dark Thystical Magic

## Appearance

Tall and thin, with brown, shoulder-length, slightly curly hair, dark eyes, and lacey wings kept folded away under his elaborate, dragon hide vests and coats, paired with a dragon horn-tip ring he wears constantly.  His skin is an unnatural golden brown, resembling his cockroach form, and is thick and leathery to the touch.  He usually dresses in dark colors, and is hardly ever seen without his cocky, impish smile.

## Personality

He is conniving, deceitful and incredibly quick-witted.  He serves only himself and his wants, not loyal to anyone else.   Those who know of him, know to fear him, and do not attempt to contact him unless they are truly desperate.  His greatest trademark is his deals, which he will gladly make with anyone, promising them whatever they want...while he always gets the better end of the bargain.   He will not outright lie about his deals, but he may twist words to his favor, or mislead you.  He can either be someone's savior, or their downfall, and he really doesn't care which as long as he gets what he wants.   However, if you are his enemy, you should run, because he plans for the long run, and while his actions may seem trivial at the moment, you can bet he has a plan you won't like.  He is very intelligent and skilled with words.  He also has some gifts with potions and poisons, as he studied the ancient, pre-Thystical magics and alchemy, and could arguably stand up to a Thystical if need be.  Sometimes cocky or child-like in behavior, he is known for his temper and remembering the names of those who have wronged him.  His closest relationships are deemed sometimes-allies, at best, excluding Frost, his servant. Like a cockroach, he is very hard to kill. However, around his new servant, Frost, he sometimes seems a bit more mellow, often teasing her.

## History

Hallow and his twin sister Eve were sold off to the mines at a young age by their father, who was often drunk. Their twin brother, Shock, on the other hand, remained with his father, and Hallow always resented him for that.

During the years they were working in the mines, Eve got sick due to the thick, choking air full of harmful gasses. There was no cure.

Young Hallow, desperate to save his sister, turned to magic for help. He dove in to the dark power of ancient Thystical magic, and even discovered a magical presence from those days. He made a deal with it, and in turn, became posessed by it. The presence, for It's part, preserved Eve in an eternal sleep, unageing and undying until a cure could be found. She has remained like this for years. It also preserved Hallow, to some extent, keeping him from aging at a normal pace.

Some time after this, he left the mines and found a young Lady Sapphira, before she was Queen. Their history is unknown by most, but between them they had a odd, dangerous and near scandalous relationship that ended quite suddenly...

In his adult years, he gained wealth and power through deals and alchemy. He moved Eve to his attic, protecting her with fierce beasts and deadly traps as she slept. Seeing her alone is worthy of death, in his opinion, and so few know of her.

Hallow believes that gaining the powers of the Ancient Thysticals will give him the ability to save Eve, and so he searches for a way to gain such power, not caring who gets in his way.

## Character Relationships

**Queen Sapphira Midwinter**

They seem to have an odd relationship, both knowing they can gain from the other's help, but not exactly being civil all the time. Hallow, at least, seems to enjoy this, and the reactions he draws from the Queen. He doesn't fear her, nor does he follow her, but he doesn't doubt her abilities either, and with their history, he knows first hand what she is like....

Lady Frost

After a deal with her brother, Hallow now has Frost as his personal servant. Despite what he'd have you believe, he's growing quite attached to her, even taking her on trips that could be considered dates, if you read between the lines. She seems to be the only one, besides Eve, that he may actually care about, but the dark presence possessing him doesn't like that, and is careful to make sure they're never too close or too cozy for long, causing a fair amount of distrust and strain in their relationship.

Lord Spruce

He doesn't really care for the man, which is a bit surprising, considering Spruce is the reason he got his servant. It may have to do with the attempt to break in and trick him early on, or stem from his growing feelings for Frost, causing him to dislike the one who mistreated and used her, as if he's a total Saint himself.

Lord Root

Helped him mess with Avalon's memory, only to agree to help Alaska fix it behind Root's back...for a price. He has no real good or bad opinion on the man, but considers him a customer like any other.

Eve

Very protective of her. Speak of her at your own risk.

Barry

Hallow thinks of the man as a personal enemy. They have a long history together. However, after getting his magic hat, he no longer seems to care much about his old rival.

DTM

Also known as The Book by Frost, It is the dark magic posessing Hallow, altering his memories, directing his thoughts and sometimes outright controlling him. He has no clue how stron It is becoming...

Hubble

Hubble is a copy of Hallow's personality, created to gain info from Barry, by living in his mind. He seems far less scary than Hallow, though he can still threaten, he's less prone to tantrums and is more childish than murderous. Hallow has stated he doesn't concider Hubble a real person, so much as a tool or a creation. He also never calls Hubble by his name, only saying 'the Clone' or 'it'.

Diamond Midwinter

Hallow, in a word, hates her. What started as a promising buisness transaction quickly turned south when Diamond felt she could chide him for his behavior on his own property. Taking this as a severe disrespect, he offered her a chance to make it up to him - by bowing. At her refusal, he withheld his services from her, nearly costing Snowangel her life. Now, in retaliation for her actions, he has plans that certainly don't include her remaining on the Winter throne....

Eira Midwinter

After Diamond left, Hallow had no intention of healing a comatose Snowangel. Until Eira arrived. Showing him the proper respect, he agreed to her deal in return for her "friendship", mostly meaning she will be his mouthpiece, do favors and the like without others knowing. He seems to like Eira far more than Diamond, no doubt since their interaction ended better, but he isn't known to be particularly kind to his friends....
