Arkhivom
Arkhivom is a creature largely unknown to the world at large. This is at least the case in today's world. Such was not so many, many ages ago, when Arkhivom and his kind once lived and warred upon the face of Arethil in great number and with great power. Much is unknown of his kind, but what is for certain is this: if he is any reflection of them as a whole, then Arethil is beyond blessed to be now without them.
Skills and Abilities
Fear: His mere presence exudes a fright which grasps the hearts of Men and sways the minds of darkness. His words carry like the beat of a mighty drum, and his very steps cause even the most stalwart a champion to grow feint. He does not experience fear. It is what he is.
Strength: His power laughs in the face of even giants – a mocking, and terrible force. Even the most fortified a structure eventually bows to his unrelenting and furious might. There is no escape.
Magic: There seems to be little that is not within his reach – from his manipulation of various elements to a terrifying form of necromancy. Though, ages of sleep have dimmed his mind, and the entirety of his capability is as of yet lost to him.

- With ample strength, in one arm he carries a shield as wide and nearly as tall as he made of the bones of some unknown creature resembling that of a dragon, with horns at its top and sharpened teeth around its lower brim. In his other arm, made of similar bone he carries a menacing flail - with sharpened spikes and razor talons and of terrifying size, easily the weight of several men.

- Transmutation: perhaps the deadliest of this monster’s capability is his ability to conjure what he simply calls fiends. These creations are formed from the essence of other creatures, whether they be wildlife or otherwise. This process is done through a ritual which does not require the intended victim to be alive but is very painful if done so. The resulting fiends are vicious and entirely bound to their master's will so long as a medium for this control exists. This ability, depending on the essence being used, is capable of varying levels of success.
- Dark Forge: Dark magic fuels his very being and gives him the power to conjure weapons out of the darkness at will. While he can do this during the daytime as well, it is significantly more difficult and less effective.
Personality
Evil. There is not a creature on this world that he would view in equal esteem, and very few that he would not aim to destroy - save for one. The demoness, Nikolina - eternally and irrevocably bound to him. She is his, and he, hers.
He is calculated but fueled with hate. All of his goals whether they be carried out subversively or blatantly, are rooted in destruction.
There is no discussion. There is only death.

Appearance
Arkhivom is an absolute monster. He stands over 8 feet tall and weighs a considerable amount for even this immense size. Long and red dread like tendrils flow from behind a unique and distinctive cranium. Behind four fanged mandibles hide razor teeth from where dark words are uttered. With glowing red eyes, dark grey skin and a shadow of darkness that seems to follow wherever he travels, he truly does bear a resemblance to fear itself.
But a fact known now only by himself and Lina, is that the monstrosity that is Arkhivom's form is not his original self, but rather the form he was forced to assume in order to return to this world.
Shapeshifting: Having had many years since his "resurrection," Arkhivom has once more mastered the art of shape shifting to a degree that allows him to assume a shape much more akin to what his original, true form resembled, but not entirely. He can only hide so much of what is now his true self. In this form his height and overall mass is reduced, standing much closer to a height of 6'0. Though while in this form he seems to experience no change to his overall capacity in using magic, his physical strength is significantly reduced.
