I was wondering where this went - I made reference to this guy in a thread elsewhere while discussing K-Ts 4e history. Iyraclea isn't dead... it appears rumurs of her demise were greatly exagerrated. Being a Chosen of Auril, she has certain powers available to her... Note that the FRCS specifically says she snatches young mages for some unknown reason... she's a Suel-Lich*, and has been for a long time.  I will be writing up a little 4e somethin-somethin for her, and finish my Crinti Torturor as well (I have a GREAT pic for her). Thanks for bumping this Misc - it was a great thread and I hope folks add to it.  *Suel Liches originated in the Suel Empire thousands of years agon on the world of Oerth, but that ancient bit of magic has managed to travel to many other spheres since, and has been used on occassion on Toril before. Basically, it is a form of 'living' Lich that makes use of possession. The Lich exchanges it's consciousness for someone elses when its ready for a new body, either destroying that person in the process, or storing their essence elsewhere for future use.

If anyone would be up for it, I could use some help fixing up my background and other descriptive texts for my Warlock Knight Vindicator PC....I'll provide a link to his photos as well (he's in the works over on that "What Do You Think My PC Looks Like" thread. http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php? … count=2581Background: Originally an Imaskari Vengeance-Taker, his life was shattered by the Spellplague. Fleeing his ruined homeland, Ezekiel felt a calling in his dreams which brought him down a whole new path in life. Leaving his old life behind, he joined the Warlock Knights of Vaasa. Following the voices in his dreams, he traveled into the Far Realms, where he was trapped within the strange and alien world; his mind, body, and soul warped beyond mortal comprehension by the powers-that-be among the cold void of the stars, and the lurking depths below. During his imprisonment within the Far Realms, a deadly contagion known as the Spellplague ravaged the lands he called home, forcing his people into a semi-exile and destroying their beliefs and the gods they served. Upon his return to the Material Plane, Zeke discovered his people were not totally gone, though their lives would never be the same. In an effort to regain some semblance of the life he once knew, Zeke has bound his soul with those very powers who tortured and enslaved him to their will for a hundred years. His vengeance would be had, and the world will tremble at his fury. Description: Dressed in form-fitting black armor and shrouded beneath a heavy hood, Ezekiel Cairo is a sight to behold. His athletic form betrays a powerhouse of raw, untapped eldritch forces; a fact evident by his haunting eyes. An ironfell ring encircles his ring finger, etched with sinister runes in some bizzare language. Wielding a crystalline iron glaive, the Imaskari-Vaasan Warlock Knight is a force to be reckoned with. Hanging from his neck is a pendant of bizarre design, the cultist openly displays his choice of worship of the entity known as Telos; a religion whose patron is partly believed to be the cause behind the world-shattering event that brought upon the Spellplague. Covered in vestaments bearing the symbols of the ancient being, Zeke's body is a living mural to the alien power that is Telos the Master of the Iron Sky. Personality: Cold-hearted and merciless, Ezekiel will stop at nothing to bring upon the apocalyptic doom that is the Awakening of Telos. Zeke believes that through the awakening of his patron, Telos' wrath will be able to shatter the bonds of the magic that caused the Spellplague and perhaps reshape the world into a visage of Telos' own lost realm.

If whom ever you are making this for is using this thread for cannon (which I would be rather taken with...) then you could tie him to one of the 13 Vindicators (My unbiassed opinion would point you toward The Limper  ). It would explain a great raise in power and position. You could make a subplot in which he is being hunted, overtly or openly by one or more of the seated Vindicators because he is seen as a threat. Just some thoughts.

CrimsonLancer and I have made him, he's actually my personal PC.
What do you think of him?
:D
I'm using the 13 Vindicators from this thread in my campaign (I hope that's OK...)
Ezekiel Cairo, as my PC is named, is aiming to become a Council member himself, though he's trying to find another to eliminate so that he may assume their position in the council. He'll be working in concert with the Limper probably, to take out a common enemy...

Don't they all...
Well it all looks pretty well, just sprinkle in a few details that can be called on for specifics on a campaign. Sometimes they bite you in the ass but when they hit RPing perfect it's beautiful.

Was wondering if anyone had read Rich Baker's novel that includes the Warlock Knights (Swordmage, was it?) and could provide some pointers on how to clean up this list?
