Anatoly Quilthanar

249 years

Anatoly Quilthanar, the guy you call when you need a curse with a three-page terms and conditions.
Known for making "deals" that are 99% fine print and 1% ruin-your-life, he's like a human spider-you get too close, and he'll web you up in eternal debt. And then consume your soul.
Think dark robes, creepy trinkets, and a melodramatic fondness for lurking in shadows. Just remember: if he's whistling, run the other way.

He loves to watch people: how they react, how their voice and breathing change - this gives him more pleasure than the deal itself.
• He has a keen sense of justice, but in a distorted form: he believes that the world should pay for every choice he makes.

Mystical details
• In mirrors, his reflection sometimes appears with a delay or looks at him with a different expression.
• His steps are rarely heard - even on the stone floor.
• Animals sense his presence: dogs howl, cats freeze, birds fly away.

His power is fed by other people's magic, but the more he takes, the faster his body and soul are destroyed.
• Silver and light magic weaken it.
• He has an old diary/portrait that is connected to the past - his main secret and vulnerability.
• Sometimes he hears the voices of spirits even without a call, and this drives him crazy.

Master of illusions and transformations - can change appearance and voice.
• His magic smells of iron, thunder and sometimes smoke.
• During strong spells, sparks run across the skin, and the hands begin to glow with a dark green light.
• His shadow sometimes lives its own life.
• Spirits respond to his call, and at such moments space is distorted, as if reality itself is afraid.

Height: tall, impressive silhouette (about 190 cm).
• Build: strong, broad-shouldered, but movements are smooth, even cat-like.
• Hair: dark, with a slight copper tint in the candlelight.
• Eyes: Deep, dark, with reddish-green sparkles when he uses magic.
• Features: old burns and scars on the hands, sometimes magical writing appears on the skin.
• Aura: Candles become dim near him and the air becomes heavier and cooler.

Keeps an old diary/letter/portrait that no one has access to - his secret.
• Loves the smell of rain, and at such moments he can go out into the rain without a drop of protection spells.
• Sometimes talks to empty space as if there is someone there.

His voice can be different: sometimes low and booming, and sometimes soft, almost gentle, and this is more frightening than threats.
• When he is angry, his pupils dilate to a complete black, but he rarely allows himself to show anger.
• He always chooses slow movements, as if he has all eternity - this affects people more than abruptness.

• When he appears, the candles dim and the air becomes a little colder.
• His shadow lives his own life: sometimes it moves slightly differently than he does, or stretches longer than it should.
• If he uses magic for a long time, sparks run through his skin, like static electricity.

On his hands, there are old burns or scars from magical experiments, which he does not hide - as if he is proud of them.
• His gaze always lingers a little longer on people, as if he is “reading” their essence. This is alarming.
• Sometimes, while talking, he falls silent for a second and seems to listen to something that others cannot hear (spirits, whispers, echoes of spells).

He admires dreamers (or despises them) because he himself has forgotten how to dream.
• He has a weakness for those who are not afraid of his gaze.
• Can afford to have an honest conversation with someone he respects - and this makes it more comprehensive.

Vulnerabilities
• He has a physical or magical weakness (he can't stand light magic).
• His power is fueled by other people's magic, but the more he uses it, the faster his own soul/body is destroyed.

He can be cold and calculating in his dealings, but unexpectedly caring towards those who somehow remind him of the past.
• He has a strict code - for example, he never lies directly, but only distorts the truth.
• He hates betrayal, although he himself is built on manipulation

Cruel and indifferent

Hired killer

The Dishonest Magician

A master of deception with a haunting moral line, Anatoly wielded dark magic effortlessly yet drew an uncrossable boundary at harming the innocent. His cruelty had limits, and that contradiction made him all the more dangerous.
