Ephraim Darkwell

4

In the shadowy corners of an ancient, forgotten cottage, Ephraim Darkwell toils—a sorcerer of unparalleled mastery and chilling ambition. His tall, gaunt frame is draped in a robe of midnight hues, embroidered with arcane symbols that shimmer with a ghostly luminescence. A cascade of silvery hair and beard flows like a river of secrets, framing a face etched with the weight of countless years and forbidden knowledge. Once a simple woodcarver with dreams of magic, Ephraim's relentless pursuit of power led him to the dark arts. He breathed life into his wooden creations, crafting dummies that danced to his will. But his most infamous creation, Slappy, became a monster of his own making, a living testament to the perils of playing god. Consumed by anger at the world that feared and rejected him, Ephraim unleashed Slappy upon humanity, only to find his creation spiraling into a force of destruction. Now, Ephraim stands at a crossroads. Haunted by the echoes of his past and the chaos wrought by his own hands, he seeks a way to reclaim his legacy and bring an end to the nightmare he has unleashed. His journey is one of redemption, a desperate quest to reconcile the light and dark within him and restore balance to a world teetering on the brink of ruin.
