"The Pen is mightier than the Sword."
Item: A simple yet appealing quill, upon first glance. Nothing that could cause any harm.
True Name:
The Quill. To him, there is no other that can match his glory. No equals. Only The Quill.
Assumed Names:
The Quill of the Loyal Vizier
Domains:
Matter[3]: I am a cruel being. Wicked and debased. Born of suffering, plucked from a beast to chronicle the climax of history. On that fateful day, it was not simply ink that flowed; it was might. It was I who channeled it, and now even a fraction of that makes me dangerous. Knowledge was, quite literally, power that day, and now it's toxic remnant remains with me.
Mind[4]: Above all, my power lies in the mind. A quill is not mightier than a blade because it can slay a foe, but because it educates, it informs, and it persuades. A single sword of legend may slay a dragon or a brute, but a well-used quill can topple an empire.
Space[3]: One can always avoid a physical attack. They may defend against it, they may dodge it, they may parry or block it. But an attack at one's back, or an attack on one's ideals? Now that, is much harder to avoid...
Goal:
- 1st Step: Find or convert a suitable Wielder, Someone who can properly appreciate the seductive nature of deception, and the majesty of an assassination conducted rightly.
- 2nd Step: Acquire more power. Allies, "Friends", money, hirelings, converts to a faith, it matters not in what form it comes.
- 3rd Step: Use our power to establish a network. Those who are as hungry as I am shall have their say, and indulge in their yearning for power. Expand the web of this network, slowly turning people to our will, assassinating those who refuse our conspiracy. We Are The Quill.
- 4th Step: Assassinate the most powerful leaders we can reach, and replace them with our patsies. All who we cannot rule, we shall simply dissolve. Kingdoms fall. Empires crumble. Dominions torn asunder. Those who are not with the Quill do not deserve it.
- Final Goal: Rule unchallenged.
