Xerxes

please dont eat me sir im not very powerful

700-something year old immortal sorcerer who ate the dark god of the forest he now lives in and gained the god's power. Does gain power by eating other powerful being, but he only does it on a very rare occaision, as he prefers to keeps to himself in his forest, occaisionally meddling with the outside world when he hears news of people in power that give him a poor impression. legend says that he was once mortal, but sacrificed his companion in order to meet the god and eat them. who knows how true that is, though.

didn't actually mean to keep lucia, he was initially just going to keep her around for a bit of entertainment, scare her, then just toss her on the next traveller going through his woods, but the girl's direct demeanour, despite how scared she was, ended up making him keep her around a bit longer. he ends up growing uh. more than a little attached, and ends up being somewhat of a supremely scary and kinda evil father figure to her
