Martin Aren (Thorvald)

Thorvald was created by Liam the Big, for use in the Aren Family roleplay.

Abilities
Thorvald has many capablitites. Here are several of them

Physical
Due to Thorvald's consumption of souls, he has the strength of at least ten men, if not more. Along with this enhanced strength, he is cursed with "The Hunger". It is a condition which afflicts him due to his vast consumption. He is dependant on new souls, and will grow angered, and very impatient. Due to the containment of such vast magical energies in his body, Thorvald's bones are incredbly dense, and very hard.

Magical
Thorvald is able to "consume" souls. He takes the soul of his victim, breaking it down into pure energy, before absorbing it through his mouth. The sensation he feels as he absorbs it is different from person to person, giving people their own "tastes". He is a masterful Necromancer, as well as a proficent Pyromancer and Aeromancer. His mastery of the Ancient Magicks is rather disturbing, as he bends shadows to his will. He is also a fairly good enchanter.

Human Life
Much of Thorvald's life before becoming a Lich is unknown.

Death's Cold Embrace
It is believed that Thorvald came to his current state during the Fall of Duskfort. He then proceeded to murder every Aren within. Roughly two thousand people were held within the fort, and Thorvald is responsible for their deaths. It is believed that he was an Aren in life, as those were the only ones within the fort. It is unknown how he escaped the sealed fort, as it was not opened until the current age.

Thorvald's Rampage
He would proceed to travel the lands, murdering any he wished, stealing their souls and "eating" them. It is unknown what spell he uses to steal the soul, however many attribute it to a branch of Necromancy. He would contiue his rampage until the late fourth age, where he is fought by Mallik Grest. Mallik Grest spent years chasing down Thorvald, even losing an eye fighting him. He finally locked him away in a mirror in Brickforce Tower. Christopher Aren was only a boy when Thorvald was imprisoned.

The Years in the Mirror
As the years went on, Thorvald would continue to be trapped in the mirror, witnessing the everyday actions of Brickforce Tower. If a student would stop to look into it, Thorvald would try to trick them into releasing him. Mallik would stop them, everytime thwarting Thorvald's efforts.

Release
After the disaster of Brickforce Tower, Thorvald was alone with Mallik. Years went by, and the two sat, waiting for something, although Thorvald knew not what it was. Then it happened. Galastus Grey, Violante Aren, and Myron Gregor would enter the tower, at Christopher Aren's command. Galastus would stare into the mirror, as Thorvald appeared to him, whispering into his mind, "Names have power, Galastus Grey." In a rage, Galastus would break the mirror, releasing Thorvald from his long entrapment. He would sink into shadows, fleeing the tower, but reviving the corpses of fallen Aren before leaving.

His Better Half
His escape from Duskfort came at a cost. He left much of himself behind, so that he may escape the souless wasteland he created. However, when the seal was broken on Augustus' door, Thorvald felt his power slowly seep toward him again. Rodney Flint, along with Adeoak Aren and Nikoli Everburn, Entered the ancient ruin, exposing the horrid events that transpired. However, they were ignorant to the serverity of the action they had just committed.Thorvald's power returned to him, and he was stronger than ever.

New Skin, New Face
Shortly after his regaining of power, his nemisis Mallik Grest, was quick on his trail. Although Mallik wished death upon him, he enlisted Christopher to capture the Lich again. After a very, very short fight, Thorvald stood victorious, Mallik fleeing, but Chris left in the Lich's grasp. He would look deep into Christopher's eyes, whispering "I will not kill you, Christopher, son of Ignitus....no.....I have far better plans for you." He would choke the old mage until he was unconcious. Thorvald would then assume the form of Chris, locking the real one away, deep under Aspera Tower.

Complications
Thorvald's plan, aided with the invading of Christopher's mind, was thrown off, by the very person who released him. Galastus, now and Aren, used quick detective skills to deduce that this was not Chris, and when confronted with this, Thorvald attempted to frame Galastus. He knocked out the young man, plunging his dagger into his undead gut. The illusion that was Chris Aren still bled normally, and the scene was perfect. However, it seems that somehow, before knocked unconscious, Galastu got the word out that Chris was infact Thorvald, a Lich from the fourrth age. The entire event led to Thorvald's arrest, him being thrown into an Ardougne cell.

Freedom and the General
Luckily, Chris relative, Aranitus Aren, was the Archmage of Kandarin. He pardoned Chris, and as the two were leaving, they were confronted by General Aizen, Aryl, and Drake. After a short time of debate, Thorvald realized that he could not talk his way out, and the Hunger called to him. A great battle ensued, Thorvald on one side, all others on the other. Despite his inhuman strength, the General seemed to be even with the Lich. After barreling through Aryl, Aranitus cast Thorvald into the courtyard. The general boasted incredible strength, with assistance from the Idol of Bandos(Idol of the Gods rp item). Despite this, Thorvald and the General were still even in strength. Thorvald, using Chris' voice, summoned Zane's foul beast, the Valkire, which Chris had located and reanimated. The battle continued as Aranitus summoned Vascar, the Aren Dragon. Valkire and Vascar fought over head, as Thorvald and Aizen exchanged blows. The bones of the General crack and pop, as Thorvald dances circles around the magically powerful man. Aranitus would cast Thorvald into the Abyss, using a raw teleport spell.
