Sildis Ool-Solban

A willowy man with narrow eyes and an angular face, people rarely know exactly what Sildis looks like as he often distorts his appearance using magic. He particularly likes obscuring his face and changing his eye colour from brown to gold. Sildis prides himself in his looks. He takes care of himself, especially when it comes to his long, wavy, black hair. However, his need to present himself as something otherworldly trumps his vanity. If he doesn’t bother to change his appearance, Sildis does still have some signs that he is no longer an elf. All but his central incisors teeth have an obvious sharpness to them. His canine teeth look particularly long as he caps them in gold.

Sildis has several beauty marks on his face, two below his right and and two on his left cheek. The mark on his forehead shaped similarly to an exclamation mark is actually a tattoo signifying that he was a court sorcerer. Sildis likes to dress in expensive clothing, but often appears underdressed for the weather. Typically he doesn’t wear much more than a shirt, trousers, boots, and a traveling cloak.

Sildis can turn himself into a swarm of flies and is heavily associated with insects. With undead, the more damage they take, the more monstrous they become. After a certain point they hit a peak monstrous form and gain the ability to flip back into their human form at will. Sildis's monstrous form is insectine in appearance. He has a hard carapace with noticeable bristles; it has a similar colouration to that of a green bottle fly. The bristles that cover him do contain a venom.

In life Sildis was known for being perfectly behaved in the courts, but an absolute bastard in the field. He knew how to play the political game in front of his superiors. Fawning, honeyed words to help keep him a favoured pet in the eyes of those who controlled him. He hated it, despising the knowledge that he would never be anything but something to be used.

Outside of his master's view, his misery manifested as issues of impulsivity, gaining him the reputation of being a man with a hair-trigger temper and a habit of spending money foolishly in pursuit of pleasures. Smashing things, constantly arguing, blowing through a month's pay in a matter of days, Sildis was a disaster and a misfortune to know. His habit of taking his misery out on others, combined with the status of his birth and the odd favouritism shown to him by his superiors, Sildis found himself isolated from everyone around him.

Now as an undead, Sildis has never been happier. Sure he may still have a master, but a monster is better than any king or sorcerer, and the leash he's kept on is so slack it might as well not be there at all. He's free to go where he wishes and do what he wants. With the power he has been given he can do as he damn well pleases. The cruel streak that was present in life is still present in death, but now runs unchecked. He doesn’t give a fuck about humans or the undead he makes. He doesn’t care about the long-lasting turmoil he leaves in his wake. Never again will he be the dirt under another man's heel. As far as Sildis is concerned, the only thing in the world that matters is himself and his loyal follower, Ren.

TL;DR:

• Name basically translates to "Beloved son of Solban". When he was still a human, he would go back and forth on whether he wanted to change his name to something less foreign. Sildis never went through with it as his name is a symbol of his father's love for him.
• A jack-of-all trades when it comes to magic. Most talented with lightning.
