Father Llymic is an Elder Evil hailing from the Far Realm,imprisoned in magic ice on top of a mountain. He seeks to escape his prison in order to remake the world to be more hospitable to him and his spawn (as in, a lightless icy wasteland). In his true form, he is a hulking demon-like monstrosity with scythes for forearms, three eyes, and skin covered in icy crystals. His title of 'Father' is accurate for two main reasons: one, he often tricks others by appearing as a friendly old man; two, in order to escape his prison he creates 'his children' on the outside. Said 'children' are called Broodspawn and appear like him, and are created by Llymic spreading a plague which transforms the infected into said Broodspawn. The more Broodspawn that are created by this plague, the more Llymic begins to awaken.
His icy prison is said to melt in darkness and thicken in sunlight - while this does result in a net zero change to the strength of the prison over time, it does create a weakness that Llymic seeks to exploit. As such, as he awakens from the conversion of people into Broodspawn, Father Llymic uses his otherworldly power to begin shrouding the world in darkness, dimming the sun - with the end result being that the prison eventually melts enough to allow him to break free.
