VAHN DESMUND GRIGOR

Name: Vahn Desmund Grigor
Age: 20
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual.
Eye Colour: Light gold
Hair Colour: Blonde
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 200 lbs.
Notable tattoos/scars/birthmarks: Black tattoos on both of his pectorals, they are a strange runic symbol with unknown meaning. Two piercings on his bottom lip and two on his right eyebrow. Has scars all over his back and lower torso. Oh, and those horns on his head are noteworthy. Because of the Desire Demon within him.
General Clothing: In cities and towns Vahn always wears a large black cloak with the hood up to cover his attention-grabbing horns. Underneath he typically wears a black robe that buttons from the waist up, which is usually unbuttoned and shows off his tattoos and scars. Being a Ferelden, he wears only the toughest black leather boots. At his waist are two belts, one that overlaps the other, and contains his sheath and dagger. He usually has on black fingerless gloves which reveal his painted black nails that are rather long for a male and sharpened at the tips.
Weapons: A single dagger.
Pets: None, unless you count the people he toys with.
Likes: Bloodshed, getting his prey to scream, exotic things (animals, food, etc.), the black of night, sexual encounters, and alcohol.
Dislikes: Daytime, having nothing to do, failing to toy with someone, and being mocked or seen as inferior.
Strengths: Insanity: Vahn is criminally insane, and thus has a pretty big advantage by being able to terrify people and kill without mercy. He also has no true motives behind it all.
Clever: Despite his insanity, he is far from stupid. He's extremely clever and knows how to work a situation to his advantage or get past obstacles.
Manipulative: Vahn is a master of the human mind, being very capable of manipulating people to do many things they normally wouldn't. However, he typically never goes out of his way to manipulate those that would be harder to. It would more than likely be a waste of time.
Weaknesses: God Complex: Vahn is the greatest thing to ever step on Thedas. The Maker bows before him. Disagree and you will cause his rage to be set loose, which may be used to your advantage or disadvantage.
Doesn't take much seriously: Life is a game and it's better to enjoy it instead of caring about it. This causes the insane man to underestimate many things which could bite him in the ass one day. But he probably wouldn't even care then.
Class: Mage
Specialization: Blood Mage

===============================================================

Character History: In all honesty, Vahn remembers none of his past up until he had the demon inside of him. If he were to remember, the first memory would be of the Circle of Magi Tower by Lake Calenhad. Vahn Desmund Grigor was but four years old when he was brought to the Circle. The tower was the biggest thing he had ever seen, and that excited the child. Little did he know it was to be more like a prison than a new home.

His apprenticeship was none too exciting, and if he was still sane and could recall any of this, he would have said the best part was fooling around with the mages once he hit about 16. And that does not mean playing pranks. Truthfully, he was an impressive mage. He passed his Harrowing at 17, but during this he had his first encounter with the Demon. Vahn was no fool, and easily declined the offer for power and much more, but something still haunted him about it. The Demon had said Blood Magic would be his way to escape the madness of the Circle.

Officially a mage, he expected a world of change. That was not so. In fact, the only thing different it seemed was that he got a better bed. Oh, and that the Templars were even more annoying as they constantly seemed to be around him. Slowly but surely his annoyance grew to anger and then hatred. Why could he not be free to live his own life? The Circle offered him nothing. Not even power. Because he could easy get power if he learned Blood Magic...

Shortly after his Harrowing Vahn decided. He would become a maleficar and escape. Secretly he studied and trained, honing his bloody skills. He was careful and smart about it, but still felt like it wasn't enough. Blood Magic certainly would help him escape, but he had to have it guaranteed that he could and would be able to. One night the Demon returned to his dreams, a Desire Demon to be exactly. He had done plenty of research on them and knew they were the embodiment of lust, power, and excitement. The power part was what intrigued him.

"You and I are a lot alike, aren't we?" he asked. Of course they were. Otherwise he wouldn't care for it at all, "Allow me to strike a deal with you."

Vahn had encountered one particular thing when doing his research. Apparently, some spirits somehow lived inside of willing hosts. Not possession, but simply merging together almost, adding to their power. If he could do it with a powerful demon... he would be ensured freedom along with many other things. "Fulfill both mine and your desires," he commanded, "Do not possess me, but simply enter and merge with me. Live through me, and I through you. We can become a single entity."

Now, his first true memory comes shortly after this. Vahn woke the next day to find himself feeling particularly carefree, unhinged, and feeling stronger than ever. Without a single word he escaped, killing three Templars who attempted to stop him with considerable ease. He realized soon after that his appearance had been affected by the merge, having horns like the Desire Demon did. Yet, he didn't care enough to do anything about it.

In fact, the only thing he cared about at all in that moment was testing his powers. Traveling to a nearby village, he began to experiment as the villagers attempted to flee. The entire place was destroyed, dismembered people all around and the few still alive were screaming in agony because of whatever he had done to them. From there on, he would no longer be Vahn Desmund Grigor. Just simply Vahn, the sadistic. The tainted. The demon.

Now he travels Ferelden, living only for himself and killed for pure entertainment. He makes certain to wear his cloak with the hood up to cover his odd attribute when in a town or city. He fears nothing, but that doesn't mean he is safe at all.
