Celeste Tenebrea
Appearance
Of a smaller stature than is normal, Celeste is a very fair elf. With pale skin, pastel hair, and pastel eyes, she tends to be quite disarming. This female is petite and dainty. Almost the exact opposite of the creature she'd created. She was as terrible on the inside as her outside appearance was lovely.
Skills and Abilities
As with anything Magic. These take their toll.
Flesh Carving: This little elf has unlocked the secrets of the flesh and has found ways to coax it into pleasing shapes (pleasing to her that is), She uses this ability to maintain her Humunculus.
Summon Undead: (Skeletal/Zombie) Besides needing a body, Celeste is able to summon 1-5 undead depending on her reserves. If she is winded and weak she won't be able to summon anything less than an attack parrot.
Flesh Boggart: You know all those parts that get thrown out?! Celeste can stick them together and create little fleshlings to do her bidding. Magical, non sentient beings.
Humunculous: She did this once, with a full cabal of followers as the source of power. As such, she was able to create this creature and give it some semblance of sentience. Though, she must maintain the creatures' magic, and body to ensure it's continued artificial life.

Personality
Celeste's brain is a little sick, either with power, or her upbringing, there is speculation on either and both being the factor for those who actually get close enough to understand her. Though, that doesn't last long. She is quick witted and cunning, her taste for tactical and logical moves is exquisite. She has an air of a learned nature to her. Though she was "home schooled" as one might say.
Biography & Lore
Celeste was born into a cult in Cerak at'Thul. The product of two followers, the chosen one. The one prophesied to bring about the next god of Undeath. The child grew, learning the intricacies of magic, specifically Necromancy. She specialized quickly. Young children are sponges, and thus she absorbed much of the information given to her. Grimr, her first creation, started as a flesh boggart. Something created to test her skill. A child's toy at such a point. Something that she played with and grew to love. At 15 she made the most drastic magical change. During a ritual, Celeste ripped the magic from the group, using the energy to bring about the life in her Humunculus, taking the lives of 12 or so beings, her parents included, to do so. The fleshling grew and changed and contorted. As the sacrifice was great, there was much power to be had, her single greatest creation brought about on the wings of death. Celeste, inundated from power, passed out for several days. Laying in the arms of her most treasured creation. The culmination of her gift.
With the death of the members of The Cult of the Shadowed One, she was by herself. Well. Almost by herself. Grimr helped her. Kept her safe, hidden and away from prying eyes. With time, and a few dead people later, Celeste grew bored with the city of Cerak at'Thul and they began their journey to Elbion, where she could steal resources, and coin from merchants. Her end goal? Rule the world. Duh. But first. Elbion. She needed to rout out the city bosses, curry favor with the wealthy lords and ladies, and hire more men.
