Unlike all the other entries in Darkling's Most Wanted, this particular one happens to be one of the mysterious entity's own children.
For centuries, this stalwart aetherling yearned to become a part of their kind's most infamous legend: that of four mighty Paragons who would bring about the end of days. Time after time, they trained relentlessly - dedicating their entire life to harnessing their essence of battle, aiming to become anointed as the Paragon of Conquest.
But Darkling always knew this would be a most unfortunate fate - as becoming one of the four portents of the apocalypse is said to inevitably end in a fate worse than death.
When this aetherling came to their creator and demanded to be tested for paragonship, Darkling had other plans. But instead of taking up their father's offer, this aetherling turned their back on him for good. There was a war to be fought, one way or another -- and to this end, they journeyed to the edge of the Void, never intending to return.
But even at the edge of the universe, Darkling was there. As countless voidals lay slain about this mighty warrior, they both realized the unspoken truth: this valiant aetherling had burnt out all that they had. But before turning to dust and disappearing for good, Darkling gathered that essence and made them anew, imbuing their new body with the memories of the old.
But something went wrong. Perhaps it was the intense exposure to the Void, or the fact that this aetherling wanted to die a warrior without their creator's meddling, but they didn't come back the same. The heartshard at their core was pierced through by aberrant crystals taking the form of dark steel blades -- leaving them as something not quite undead, but not quite alive.
Refusing Darkling's offer to work on healing the malady, this aetherling has since ventured out alone -- but to what end?
