Class[edit]

Aristocrat 2/Abberation 10

Race[edit]

Human (Appearance)/Undying One (Huge Abberation)

Appearance[edit]

Baron Darkholme appears as an immensely thick skinned and bodied man with a sphere bald head and piercing eyes. His entire body appears to be muscle despite the assumption of flab, and he closesly resembles the Kingpin. Baron Darkholme's Undying One form is that of a gigantic (30 foot long) worm.

Personality[edit]

Sadistic and twisted, what unnatural lusts drove him to make his pact with Malaxas have been exaggerated and his intellect enhanced. He is capable of reading minds of his opponents and using their darkest fears against them. He dominates those around him through a combination of fear and degrading corruption. He is an utter monster.

Combat[edit]

Possessed of immense physical power, it would take the entire group to be able to fight Baron Darkholme in a straight fight when he's assumed his worm like appearance. Worse, he possesses powerful innate Psionic Abilities that would allow him to project vivid dreamscapes and hallucinations drawn from the worst fears and regrets of the subconscious.

Background[edit]

One of King Hrothbert's lovers and many confidents, Cos Darkholme became involved in Malaxas' worship while ostensibly stamping out heretics. The King's death left him at a loss for what to do and he blackmailed his way into Parliament. He is now one of the most influential and powerful members of that body due to the fact that he has collected dirt on nearly all of the major figures in the body through a network of spies that is only outranked by one in the city (and she's a cute little witch).

Cos Darkholme sacrificed his wife to become an Undying One only recently, a small sacrifice to make given his inclinations, and is survived only by his daughter Stephanie. Cos Darkholme dotes on her and she is the only being in the world that he still cares for. He is one of the leaders of the Crimson Sign Cult.
