Annihilator

The Annihilator - the English translation of Cavitor, the name by which he was known - was a male humanoid creature who was present in this world from 1842 to 1844. Little is known of his nature beyond this; he was strongly associated with the Dreadlands, possibly a creation of Dreadfolk, and consisted of a mix of three different creatures - most likely a Dark Elf, a Savuan or Ferigan, and some other unknown creature, probably either a Human or Elf.

Cavitor was prophesied long before he was first revealed. Written records going as far back as the Age of Titans make reference to a figure with "demonic blood" which they label variously as Annihilator (Cavitor), Slayer, Destroyer, Despoiler and Ravager. A recurring phrase amongst the ancient prophecies is the description of Cavitor as "a being of singular focus and indomitable will, who will tear Hell to shreds and bring Heaven crashing down, who will leave a trail of blood and tears in his wake, and who will slaughter the Traitor Gods".

Cavitor proved to be a powerful mage and an exceptional warrior. It is unknown whether he was part of the Imperial Inquisition, but he was certainly affiliated with the Dara Morca to some degree. He put his abilities to use killing a great many Dreadfolk, and if the stories are true, even several Dread Titans. The last confirmed sighting of him was in 1850, when he ventured into the Dreadlands and did not return. The traditional story of him tells that he stayed there to protect and raise the children of Shilasha, Mother of Hope. Hopeful Elfkin assert that when these children are fully grown, they will subjugate the Dreadlands and will return to this world to re-open the Magestream. Some versions of this prophecy claim that Cavitor will return to claim the Imperial throne, others state he will become the immortal war-master of the Nesarian Empire and lead a global conquest, and others still claim he will retire in peace.

It is possible that Cavitor, despite being ostensibly the enemy of all things Dread-kin, was engineered by the Dreadfolk deliberately to be an extremely powerful weapon. Some scholars think that he was originally intended to be a weapon *for* the Dreadlands who went rogue, but most scholars assert that he was deliberately created precisely in order to destroy the Dread Titans and bring about a new order in the Dreadlands. This is, at least, what the ancient prophecies strongly imply, and an unconfirmed interrogation of a Savuan appeared to confirm that Cavitor was a creation of the Dreadfolk. Since the existence of rebel Dreadfolk who oppose the Dread Titans is well-established, it is likely that he was created by these rebels to overthrow the ancient tyranny.
