Noire

Old character - new pose.

Master mage who sought to purge the weakness of emotion from his heart. He succeeded. The heart and the soul are so inextricably intwined that he lost that too. The forbidden nature of the magicks he conjured caused dark magick suffuse his being and replace what he lost. The spell also destroyed his entire family.

The most powerful emotion that he felt immediately before the ritual was rage. As such his current life is dominated by that emotion.

Currently working tirelessly to become whole again. In the mean time, he is working on acting "nice". By observation he has concluded that it facilitates favorable responses. And it is working...

Yes he is based a trifle bit on "The Warlock's hairy heart". I loved that story.

This piece is quite spartan compared to my other recent pieces. I am not sure I like it. After all: If it does not or cannot blow gracefully in the wind, it is not worth wearing.
