Dadeus

This is Dadeus, the undead priest. He was a revered man who served people until his natural-ish death (poisoning). Devastated by his departure, his friends dipped their holy hands into necromancy, which isn't a totally bad thing...if you know how to use it. Well, turns out they grabbed the first book on the subject and used a spell that could only be used during a small window of time.

Good part: his soul was yanked from Below. Bad part: he lost all human senses and something weird happened with his hands and feet. Anyway, despite now being an immortal, unfeeling being who defies the laws of nature, he and his brigade of ravens still retain a sense of altruism. Yeah, ultra altruism since no matter what happens, he'll just snap back into place. However, as his friends died one by one, he became a being no one understood and knew. Who could've thought some documentation would have served him well, right? After fleeing his birthplace, he wanders as a healer and rescue aide who works only at night.

I drew him a loooong time ago but gave a basic backstory for AF and expanded it on the whim just now. He got 2 attacks so there's something about him.
I love red and black schemes but oddly, haven't made many dark-themed pieces until Dadeus.
