Gravix

Gravix was born into a world that recoiled at the sight of him—a consequence of his mother's desperate bargain with a demon lord to escape poverty and obscurity, a debt she paid with her own life the moment his twisted form emerged into the world. Raised by the very entity that had cursed his bloodline, he learned that power was the only currency that mattered, and that magic could be harvested from others like fruit from a tree, leaving them hollow and broken. His insatiable thirst for arcane knowledge drove him to seek out young sorcerers whose potential burned bright, recognizing in their untamed abilities the very thing he could never possess naturally—genuine magical talent untainted by demonic corruption. Those who bent their will to his teachings became extensions of his dark ambitions, while those foolish enough to resist found themselves stripped of their gifts, their bodies resurrected as shambling instruments of his vengeance. The faction of Nira became his hunting ground, and whispers of his name alone were enough to make apprentices abandon their studies and flee into the wilderness. What began as a curse inflicted upon an unborn child had transformed into a plague of suffering that spread across the realm, a living reminder that sometimes the greatest monsters are not born of malice, but of abandonment and the corrupting hunger for power that fills the void left behind.
