Demon of the Darkhold

Even at first inspection, you can gain the sense that this man is but a single hair away from snapping at all times...

Nazarus oen Angelus

Ignorantia sit beatitudo...

Nazarus is a man suspended in time. All he knows are the months leading to the Calamity, which he clings with a frenzied desperation, unwilling- or perhaps unable- to accept the changing Eorzean stage. His disconnect from reality is maddening-- most of all to himself.

Diskiles & Fears

Nazarus dislikes (and possibly fears?) being given new information that conflicts with his own understandings.
And, of course, standard fare of Garlean contempt: those touched by the Echo, beastmen, eikons, and religion.

Past

Nazarus's motives are strange and nefarious; that much one can tell from what little information he reveals. He does not conceal the fact he is Garlean, and will speak his name and title with pride.

Trivia

  • Nazarus's gaze is intense and needle-sharp, his laughter is all but unsettling, and his movements are jarring and inhuman.

  • His understanding of reality is out of touch at best. He seems stuck in an era past. If any attempt is made to bring him up to speed, he rejects it quite zealously.

  • He is an adaptive fighter that can functionally use any weapon he picks up.

Hooks

Crazy Eyes

Nazarus is liable to stare unflinchingly at anything (or anyone) that captures his interest.

Questionable Motives

Nazarus is clearly after something specific... But what?

Demon of the Darkhold

Any survivors of the VIIth Legion who were in active duty shortly before the Calamity would recognize Nazarus as the "Demon of the Darkhold," the ruthless bane of the voidsent who'd come crawling out of the depths of Dzemael.

Getting a Grip

Nazarus may not be beyond help, but finding what will get through to him won't be an easy feat.
