Bio: Once he was a powerful conjurer yet he was always on the search for more power. He had taken an interest in breaking into people's homes to aquire artifacts and items of worth he believed would help him on his quest for power. During one break in, he found a book on directions to open a doorway to a new realm, a realm of shadows After years of study to open the door, one fateful night, he managed to open the door to the plane. Once he stepped in however, the doorway closed and plane took on a life of its own. A living darkness that surrounded and overtook him. When he regained conciousness, he realised that his body was no more. He had no physical form to call his own. Yet though he had lost his body, he had gained much more.
At first, he believed he just was a conciousness within the plane of darkness but soon learned he had become the conciousness of the plane itself. Eons passed as he learned to master his new abilities. He learned that though he was in another realm, he could travel the shadows of his home wolrd and he could see all that took place within the darkness of his home plane. Yet he still needed a way to interact with his home world. Eventually, he forged from nothingness a new body for himself. A body comprised of darkness itself. it had no defined form but he could make it take any shape he deemed fit.
Yet even his new body had it's own limitations. He found it dificult to interact with people in the light. It burned him to be in the light and if he stayed to long. His body would be destroyed and he would be sent back to the realm of shadows where he would have to rebuild.
Yet when the sun set and the lights were dim, the night was his. He has made use of his new found abilities, returning to one of his former hobbies, burglary, now that no where in the darkness was safe from him.
Now he longs to be able to fully return to his home world. He travels the world and the other planes of existence searching for a way to do so. His human name long forgotten in the sands of time he has taken the name Seh Roiah, which in his old tounge means Living Darkness.
