Oavatos the Shade

Oavatos is a character created by Lord Kisin.

Oavatos is the shade bearing the more Negative qualities of Lord Kisin, as well as much of Kisin's uneeded power. He was created for this purpose, through the Dark-Mind Magic of Kisin, Oavatos has the consciousness of Kisin's darker qualities as well.

Creation

Lord Kisin soon found his split personality was causing him issue. Not wishing to reach insanity, he consulted Zaox Le'Gaunt for aid in relieving this disorder.

The end result was simple. A brain-dead body must be provided to relieve Kisin of this seperate persona.

A Shade was located, one that could be made harmless. The body, through a harsh ritual, was given the consciousness of Kisin's darker side. With it came a burst of Kisin's energy, resulting in the creation of Oavatos.

The Shadow's Rising

Oavatos' qualities, Ambition, Hunger for Power, and Arrogance, even in a harmless body, leave him in a powerful place to corrupt a ruler for his wicked causes. His end goal? To rule Gielinor in a tangible body by Zaros' side. Though, this would require Oavatos to drain enough power from foes to revive his physical body with dark necromancy.

Through the power of Blood Magic, and a few murders, this became possible for Oavatos.

Through the result of a ritual stumbled upon by Zhivili Gvardia, Oavatos revived his human body, takeing control over it the best he could.

Thorvald Frost-Shield

To understand Oavatos' motives, you must understand those of Thorvald Frost-Shield.

Thorvald was a Rellekan born to a warrior father and farmer mother. The Frost-Shield Clan was known to fight with ice coating their shields to further strengthen the metal they fought with, giving them the name they bare.

Thorvald at a young age, had a bad attitude towards magic. His Uncles were many of the "Crusaders" that led raids upon the Wizards to the far south-east. His father did not go, as he had to raise the older brother to Thorvald.

As a result, Thorvald grew up with a smaller family, with many members of it distant from him.

Thorvald passed his trials with ease, his final test being to beat a bear in combat, earning himself the helmet he wears to this day, the pelt of a Grizzly Bear.

Thorvald basically waited about for combat, being aboard ships to fight Dagganoth, among armies to fight trolls, and when not fighting, playing a lyre of tales of war for the local Mead Halls.

Eventually, the Vekon rose to Power.

Thorvald noticed the Vekonic ways of magic, and despised them for it. He was not alone in his thoughts, however, and planned a large-scale rebellion.

Sadly, for both the Vekon and the Frost-Shield Resistance, Zenthos the Mahjarrat soon leveled Relleka due to the Vekon wishing war upon Camelot. Both sides of the Civil War, as a result, lost.

Starting over again, Thorvald became a member of the Claddagh Mercenary Group. He served in a few minor skirmishes, eventually aiding King Ehrick of Varrock in defending the castle, only for it to fail, and lead to his escape with Ehrick to Ardougne for help.

When Thorvald found that the former Emperor of the Vekon, Drazker Vekon, sat upon the throne as Crown Prince, he paniced. Thorvald, as soon as Ehrick left, was executed for planning rebellion against Relleka.

Tossed into the river, the water tormented his soul, eventually giving rise to a Shade.

Oavatos' Crimes

Oavatos was found guilty, admitting to kidnapping members of the Royal Court and Honour Guard, attacking Military Scouts, and kidnapping Seven Children to be executed over Commorb.

Eventually, the Shade had to be stopped. Kisin, his creator, pulled his Aura causing the shade to be forced into a teleport.

After a long battle of spell and staff on spell and dagger, Kisin became victorius by burning Oavatos' Undead Leg Muscles, immobilizing the Body.

Right before Oavatos died, Kisin transferred the section of his soul that the Shade Bore into that of a Raven, awaiting to pick the corpse for food. The raven, thus, bears the personality, knowledge, and soul of Kisin and Oavatos.

The Raven

Oavatos, his persona changed slightly from the insanity of the Shade, has begun to cooperate with Kisin willingly, and through telepathy, act as a familiar and spy.

During Kisin's Marcato induced Coma, Oavatos breached Kisin's mind to aid in his Old Form, fighting alongside the Mage in his nightmare state.

Oavatos has also aided Kisin's children, the Bird has become a Guardian Angel of sorts for them, doing everything from calming Zarin's Temper, to teaching Nathan some basic fire spells.
