Darkhorse

Darkhorse is a horsefolk necromancer and one of the 4 members of the "Dark Circle" consisting of himself, Ahriman, Baron Von Straud, and The Red Faced Faun. Darkhorse has been a contentious figure in Equia for over a century. He has tried to take the crown for himself on numerous occasions but he has also fought ferociously in Equia's defense on occasions that they have been threatened by an outside force. Particularly in the human/horsefolk conflicts that predated the alliance of Rowans and Equia.

Darkhorse is unmatched in necromantic power in Etnia. He has legions of undead that do his bidding and many powerful shadowy spirits he's forced into his service. While other members of the Dark Circle may be deadlier in one on one combat Darkhorse is really the only one that can single-handedly challenge nations.

Darkhorse's pursuit of necromancy began as an attempt to find a way to bring back his son who, unfortunately, was killed and even eaten by a group of bandits who had captured him. Darkhorse's single minded pursuit of necromantic mastery failed in this initial goal, resurrecting the dead still remains outside the realm of known magic, but slowly that goal morphed into something more actionable and Darkhorses efforts over the century have leaned more and more towards removing the human presence from the face of Etnia. Whether this change is because of a slow degradation of sanity, a result of innumerable necromantic soul consuming magics, or merely the result of allowing oneself to be consumed by hatred for several human lifetimes is difficult to say. Many have called Darkhorse mad. His gaze is wide and unblinking and has an intensity one associates with insanity. He possesses the certainty that madness affords. With more conviction than any truth you have ever believed he knows that men must be exterminated and their flesh consumed for the world to be clean. The vermin removed. All flesh must be eaten.
