Lycan Roach

Lycan Roach is a member of the Dragonkin Worshippers and serves as the Atinaese of the Specialists, dealing with all the more secretive dealings of the order.

This character is played by Bloodwood M (a.k.a Ongard Odin/ Gorbuk)

History
Lycan was born in Forinthy, long before the conquest of Daemonheim and their attempted conquest of Misthalin. He began his life like many other Worshippers was trained since a young age as a Warrior however he lacked the physical strength of those around him so he was instead made the apprentice of the Specialist Mettisarie and Torturer Halig.

Over the years he learnt many physical weapons of torture and through his research began too see the power the mind has over his victims and instead used those in captivity as test subjects to learn more about phsycology.

During his apprenticeship Halig grew distrusting of the boy and actually allowed a prisoner to escape just to kill Roach, his fellow Worshippers managed to rescue him but not before the prisoner shoved his hand into a cauldron of hot coal, permanently scarring it.

By the age of twenty he gained enough skill to get whatever information he needed from his prisoners without even having to torture them! With this he also gained a great intellect that is unusual for a Worshipper and he used his abilities to coup Halig's position and also to have the Atinaese allow Roach to research on all prisoners regardless of what information they carry.

Eventually after the death of the former Atinaese of the Specialists Lycan manages to gain the trust of the Gaiaximus and is made Atinaese himself.

Whilst in his new found position he works with Herbalists to produce a halluciegenic which he now carries on his person at all times within the crystal of his cane. He also recruited the slightly eccentric Hestian Duncan Thin-Blade, to produce equipment and disguises for agents in the field.

Attributes

 * Master Strategist: Lycan is a master strategist and has planned many missions for the Worshippers.
 * Intense Focus: He is able to spend hours on end reviewing notes or plotting a mission without any need to rest or eat.
 * Talented Phsyciatrist: He has truly come to master his own mind and the mind of others, his studies have made him able to send a man insane and get any nescessary information out of them.
 * Self Centred: His ambitious personality has made him a very self centred man and he does alot of what he does purely to gain personal power rather then for the Dragonkin he worships.

Appearance
Lycan is an elderly man and this is reflected in his appearance. He is tall and thin with a completely bald head and a small beard that lacks a moustache. His eyes are cold and calculating with a grey tinge and he has a long pointed nose. His left hand is withered from when one of his prisoners jammed his hand in a cauldron of hot coal and he tends to wear a glove over his hands to conceal this. He also wears white robes that cover most of his body and neck. He also wears a ring with a small capsule disguised as a gem that would cause instant death when consumed. Finally he carries a black cane with a sapphire vial rather then a normal gemstone, within the vial is a halluciegenic he uses to turn his prisoners insane.

Personality
Lycan is a cold, emotionless, calculating villain who has no genuine friends. He instead gains the trust of people through fear and respect for his abilities. He is also very self centred as he was willing to kill his own mentor purely to gain more power.

The old Atinaese is also very calm in a dangerous situation, never panicking, only calculating his next move. He also holds a low amount of respect for human life as he is willing to sacrifice another persons life (such as Halig's) or turn another man insane just for his own personal knowledge.
