Threw his body away and as he was on his way to death, Mask of Winters showed up. He needed a Midnight caste and somebody who could be a plague creator. He got... this guy. He thought "well, he can inspire people with his food and I'm not eating another fucking ghoul steak again. He could craft poisons and be a priest, inspiring people or something." And so it was done. | ||

He wears a dark grey robe that can be mistaken for black in the wrong light, drooping and hanging a little at the ends of his wrists that encase his arms in darkness, though hands are free to show off his alabaster skin. Strange cloth, a mixture of old, tough scraps of dark crimson material are sewn across the chest of the robe like crude bandages, wrapping around the right side of his body to the back and cutting off on his left side, sewn to the edge of the front of his robe. A crude hood has been attached on that blacks out all of his face save for a bone mask, shaped like a bird yet skeletal, a plague doctor's mask. Underneath, he's quite handsome, though his pale skin gives away his true nature. | ||

Background[edit | edit source]
Marx Travon, a humble man from somewhere long forgotten. He worked for his dad and realized that he had a talent for cooking. A talent he tried to harness and cultivate, one with promise and all that. People liked his cooking. They felt it was good.
A rival chef thought against it and given the opportunity, stabbed him until he died (DERP). Threw his body away and as he was on his way to death, Mask of Winters showed up. He needed a Midnight caste and somebody who could be a plague creator. He got... this guy. He thought "well, he can inspire people with his food and I'm not eating another fucking ghoul steak again. He could craft poisons and be a priest, inspiring people or something." And so it was done.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Though not entirely imposing, you'll see First Glory in his usual, rather odd garb of clothing. He wears a dark grey robe that can be mistaken for black in the wrong light, drooping and hanging a little at the ends of his wrists that encase his arms in darkness, though hands are free to show off his alabaster skin. Strange cloth, a mixture of old, tough scraps of dark crimson material are sewn across the chest of the robe like crude bandages, wrapping around the right side of his body to the back and cutting off on his left side, sewn to the edge of the front of his robe. A crude hood has been attached on that blacks out all of his face save for a bone mask, shaped like a bird yet skeletal, a plague doctor's mask. Underneath, he's quite handsome, though his pale skin gives away his true nature.
