Ithaqua is a frighteningly slender, tall and thin young man with pale grayish skin, wavy white hair curling on his forehead and falling over his shoulders, framing his face, and mesmerizing blue eyes with pure black sclera and dull, icy-blue irises. His hands are disproportionately bony, and his hands are unusually large and animal-like, with long withered fingers like branches and long, sharp claws. He has a thin waist and long, lean legs, and he looks quite flexible. Despite such features, he is still a human being. He is wearing a quilted dark green sleeveless vest with a diamond-shaped lattice lining, a dull purple-blue tunic with long narrowed sleeves, matching trousers with careless gray stitching and long winter boots made of animal skin. He is dressed in a much-worn, dull purple-black cloak with a large hood of white fur fluttering around his bony arms, and a similar hood with large, straight, pointed bat ears with tufts of white fur sticking out of them. Large curved metal blades are tied to his legs with white linen bandages serving as stilts, and three leather straps are secured around his throat, diagonally down his chest and around his waist. Frost and crystallized ice cover his raincoat and boots, and most of his face, except for his eyes, is hidden under an expressionless white bat-like mask with two almond-shaped eye holes. Under the mask, his face looks gentle and pretty, except for his creepy eyes.

• Brave: Ithaqua knows no fear where others would retreat. He is ready to rush into the thick of danger, whether it's chasing survivors or fighting dark forces. His courage borders on recklessness - he is not at all afraid of death, because he has nothing left to lose - he has already lost the most precious thing for him, I will wash away his mother. • Short-tempered: his emotions are like gunpowder: they ignite instantly. An insult, a lie, an injustice, a hint of his past or disrespect for the memory of his foster mother—and he goes from cold silence to rage. At such moments, he acts impulsively, and this can be dangerous for others. In a rage, he loses control of his words and actions, which has more than once led to tragic consequences. After outbursts of anger, he often feels regret, but rarely admits it. • Vindictive: Revenge is his main engine. He does not forgive betrayal and cruelty, especially towards those he loved. • Mysterious: He rarely talks about himself, and his motives are not always clear. Even his presence feels like a shadow—sudden and inexplicable. He is shrouded in mysteries: whether he is a man, or something more connected with dark forces. • Straightforward: Does not tolerate lies and does not waste time on hints. If he don't like something, he will say it directly, even rudely. He does not recognize diplomacy, especially when it comes to his principles. • Obsessive: When he's up to something, it's almost impossible to stop him. He will pursue the target with an almost frightening obsession, whether it's hunting for a survivor or investigating the past. • Calm (sometimes): Despite his short temper, he appears icy at rare moments. This is not a peaceful calm, but rather... an expectation. Like a predator before jumping. • Single-minded: Once he chooses a path, he follows it to the end. Neither persuasion nor threats will make him turn down. Even if this path leads to the abyss.

• Emotional: Under the mask of coldness hides a storm of feelings: anger, pain, longing. Sometimes they break through in harsh gestures, a broken voice, or sudden violence. • Nimble: Moves silently, like a shadow. His reactions are lightning fast and his punches are accurate. In combat, he relies not only on strength, but also on cunning. • Cynical: Does not believe in kindness for no reason and often ridicules naive ideals. After his brother's betrayal, he is convinced that deep down people are cruel creatures. • Loner: Does not seek company, preferring to act alone. But sometimes, against his will, he feels attracted to someone (which annoys him). • Perceptive: Notices details that others miss. He can predict the enemy's actions, as if he reads his thoughts. • Fanatical devotion: If he recognizes someone as “his own” (like his foster mother), he will protect that person to the end, even at the cost of his soul. • Superstitious: He believes in omens, spirits, and curses. He may refuse to act because of a “bad sign”. • Sarcastic: He can make sarcastic jokes in tense situations.

The witch hunt has already begun to stop in a civilized society, and in the Far North this evil continued to spread like the Black Death. The inhabitants of the Far North adhered to this doctrine so that every inch of their land was "clean": "If she lives a miserable life, she consorts with demons; if she behaves proudly, she clearly has something to hide; if she is infertile, she has already been corrupted in her very heart; if she is carrying a deceased child, It is clear that she is carrying a demon child..." Looking at the dead younger twin brother that his wife gave birth to, Judge Noel naturally did not want to tolerate the judgment of this doctrine on himself. Therefore, he told everyone that "only one boy was born in the Noel family tonight." But this seemingly lifeless baby, abandoned in the woods in a raging snowstorm, suddenly had a heartbeat. Then he found his mother, who escaped from the forest clutching a salad basket with him inside. It is a pity that as a bonfire cannot burn for a long time in a snowstorm, so a secluded peaceful life in the forest will never last - the adopted young man did not understand why his mother, who piously believes in God, was beaten by uninvited guests and called a "demon", he also did not know why the mother who taught his language and culture, I couldn't say half a word in response to the uninvited guests. However, he knew that the face of the leader of the people who kidnapped his mother was almost the same as his. It might help him save her. It was unexpectedly easy to get into their lair. He naively believed that helping his mother escape would not be difficult, only to discover that the torture they subjected her to was a greater evil than any demon plots... And when he woke up, the prison was already quiet, only the heavy smell of blood hung in the air. And yet this place seemed cleaner to him than a church – what he saw in front of him at that moment was true purity.

Nevertheless, his revelation came too late: his mother's humanity withered before dawn. He led his mother through the blizzard back to their house in the depths of the forest and whispered to her the words she had once sung to him: "Sleep, Mom, I will look into the night. Don't be afraid, I promise there will never be another living being next to you." When stupidity becomes the root of evil, civilization cannot protect anyone. He decided to shed his human shell and return to the root of stupidity, becoming the fear of fools – Ithaqua. As for his real name, perhaps the only person left in this world who knows him can no longer name him. But it doesn't matter to him anymore.

He carries a weapon with him – a frighteningly large wooden ice axe with a sharp twisted end, a somewhat deformed blade wrapped in white linen bandages, and a traditional lantern in a black wooden frame, with four glass panels fitted to each other, tightly tied with white linen bandages, glowing with a faint warm yellow light, hanging directly under his head.

Nathaniel Norwell is Ithaqua's biological twin brother, as well as the magistrate's son. One day, he brought a crowd of villagers into the house, taking Ithaqua's foster mother because of her reputation as a witch. Ithaqua was able to enter the village and rescue his mother, however, due to the torture she was subjected to by Nathaniel, his mother went crazy and did not recognize him (or mistook him for Nathaniel, the one who tortured her, because the faces of Ithaqua and Nathaniel are the same). As a result, Ithaqua's mother died due to her injuries, both mental and physical. Ithaqua killed Nathaniel in revenge for his mother's death.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: • Stalking lonely people: He doesn't just hunt, he “plays” with his prey. Like a shadow, he glides between the trees, watching as the victim loses hope. He likes it when they run, knowing it's useless. • Setting traps: He expertly transforms the forest into a deadly maze. Every loop, every hidden pit is a part of his “art”. Sometimes he gives victims a chance... but only to enjoy their false hope. • Woodwork: in rare moments of peace, he carves figures out of wood: wolves, owls, bats. Perhaps this is an attempt to preserve what little he has left of his childhood. • Tree climbing: He moves silently, like the night wind, blending into the canopy. For him, trees are a shelter, a part of himself. • Hunting wild animals: He respects animals more than people. He respects them. They, like him, live by the law of fangs and claws. But if the beast falls into his trap, it means it was not strong enough.

𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀: • Bats: They, like him, are children of darkness. He understands their soft whispers better than human speech. • Wolves: Their pack won't betray them. Their howling is the only “music” that doesn't hurt his ears. • Owls: Their silent flight reminds him that not everyone in this world makes noise and lies. They see what is hidden. Just like him. • The forest: his only home where he can hide from people and their cruelty. • Winter: a time when the world freezes, and only the most resilient survive. He feels stronger at this time. Foster mother: the only bright memory. Even after her death, he carries her image in his heart.

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀: • Witch Hunters: hypocrites who kill under the pretext of “justice”. They took everything from him. • Sweets: Their sugary taste reminds him of the fake smiles of people who burned his past. • Stupid people: those who believe in their impunity, who don't see the danger until it's too late.
