「ISWEARINEXTINGUISHABLEHATRED,TOWARDSYOUMYARCH-ENEMY」 —Aurero, The Crimson Demon
—HistoricalInformation
Aurero (金, Gold ) has jet black hair, that hangs all the way to his lower back, and is usually let loose, and rarely in a tail. He has an athletic build and has a muscular, toned upper and lower body. He's caucasian and in appearance is confused to be of Imperial descent. His eyes however are an odd purple color, that's described as if the night sky itself was in his eyes. He is actually descended from the Kamal of Akavir, his father a Kamal that raped an Imperial woman during the sacking of Windhelm in 2E 572. His birth was a mystery, appearing as normal as other Imperials, except for his mysterious eyes. He stands at 6'3", and weighs roughly 195 lbs. His usual attire is a black body suit, and samurai styled upper body armor, which is painted a crimson red, a reminiscent of his title "The Crimson Demon". At a young age, he began to show great potential with the magical arts of Mysticism and Alteration, and at the age of 12 began to show amazing potential with one-handed blades. He ventured off at the young age, aspiring to learn from the Mages Guild and the Fighters Guild amidst the chaos of the dark anchors. He grew in power rapidly, learning a variety of magics and gaining a variety of abilities. He aspired to join the renowned Dragonguard, later known as "The Blades". Seeking to join the elite group of men, he was eventually noticed by the Grandmaster, and was given the chance and offered to join the secretive organization. Rising quickly through the ranks of the blades, he was quickly known for his skill with a blade, and for being unmerciful in the heat of battle, using whatever he could as an advantage towards himself.
Aurero was noticed by the Grandmaster, and chosen as his personal steward, and groomed to be a future Grandmaster of the organization. After completing countless missions, his skill with a blade and magic grew further, as did his renown to the Imperial City. The Dragons that were known to attack Skyrim, were nearly destroyed, and only three of them were known to fly the skies and attack cities still. The largest, and deadliest known only as Zulsesuleyk, "Voice of Power". A beast known to be as black as night, it's eyes a purple that was so dark they looked more like holes in the scales that surrounded. During the mission, Zulsesuleyk fatally wounded the Grandmaster, and slaughtered his other companions, leaving Aurero alone to face the beast. At the age of nineteen, he feared in the back of his mind that this destroyer would be his last sight. The battle was drawn out, his shield left in splinters of what it originally was. His blade was all he had left, and as Zulsesuleyk dove for a final attack to smash Aurero between his teeth, he jerked to the side at the last moment, and opened up the throat of the monster and watched as it's sheer soul was sucked into the sky and absorbed by his dying Grandmaster. The Grandmaster blessed Aurero with the burdens of The Blades at that moment, and allowed him to carry on the honor that he once held. Although he was grateful, Aurero watched the light go out in the man's eyes but never returned to the Temple that he had once called a home.
A lust for power had begun to overcome Aurero, after witnessing the strongest man he knew die to a dragon, he wanted to become even more powerful. He left Skyrim and traveled to Summerset Isles in order to gain knowledge in the arts of magic and with a goal to become an omnipotent being. He'd studied for years, reading through books and honing his mind and his blade before he finally had made a breakthrough and discovered the art of Shadow Magic, an obscure but powerful form of magic that is known to be used by powerful beings in Hammerfell. It was first harnessed by Azra Nightwielder, who was the first to discover that shadow was not simply an absence of light, but a reflection of possible worlds created by forces in conflict. Shadows can be produced by mundane forces such as light hitting a rock, or by more powerful forces such as nations at war. Shadow Magic involves the manipulation of shadows to affect the forces creating it. In this way, Shadow Magic rivals even the power of the Elder Scrolls themselves, having the power to potentially change the past, present, and future through the manipulation of shadow. With the discovery of this power, Aurero's immediate response was to travel across Tamriel to Hammerfell, where he stayed for over twenty years, studying and mastering the dark art of Shadow Magic. After a breakthrough with the combination of the Alteration and Restoration schools of magic, Aurero was able to cast a spell on his body, altering his own being to become immortal. His body never aging, and his body healed at a rapid level, through the use of alchemical augmentations that allowed pools of magicka to be stored while absorbing the excess magicka from the area surrounding him and recycling it into his own body as healing magic that would keep him young and heal his wounds for him.
Aurero seems to lack all sorts besides a dark sense of humor and has a silent look to him. He rarely speaks, but when he does it's direct, to the point and rarely anything else. He stays silent, and studies situations in his mind, debating on what actions to take. He broods when in a bad mood, and can be seen most often with little to no emotion displayed on his face. His power itself can be felt by those weaker than him, an tame monster that's seemingly ready to explode at a moments notice. A killing intent can be felt when he stares into the eyes of men, mer and the like, this "killing intent" is enough to cause a foe to rethink their actions completely, or flee and has been known to make men that stand zero chance against him to actually kill themselves on the spot, for suicide seems a quicker way out rather than waiting to see what's he'll do to them. His mind itself has become blackened and tainted by what he's witnessed, studied and done.
Aurero has certain goals in mind, and has revealed himself after years of being hidden in different locations that range from Hammerfell to small islands that aren't marked on known maps located in the Cape of the Blue Divide. Coming out in the wastes of Skyrim where this had all begun, the presence of Dragons has become known to the world, and the Thalmor and Psijic order have become quite active in the process. This activity has given Aurero reason to believe that now is the time to begin his hunt for new powers, and has started his quest of domination. Aurero has traveled recently from the island of Solstheim back to Skyrim, after the acts of the Dragonborn, and Hermaeus Mora.
