Necrophos

1
Name: Necrophos, the Cardinal of Contagion
Backstory: Formerly Rotund’jere, a high priest who found beauty in the dismantling power of the plague. Exiled to the Plague Wards to die, he instead feasted on the final breaths of the terminal, becoming a living incarnation of pestilence. He didn't just survive the rot; he became its master and priest.
Appearance: A skeletal figure draped in tattered jade and silk vestments. He glides above the ground, wreathed in a sickly teal phosphorus mist. He carries a massive, ornate spectral scythe that hums with the souls of the "cured."
Personality: Arrogant, clinical, and sadistic. He speaks with a raspy, melodic voice and treats "living" as a messy, unrefined disease. He is condescendingly polite, acting like a doctor performing a necessary surgery.
Traits: Patient, intellectual, devoid of mercy.
Key Mechanic: Heartstopper Aura. His presence causes the air to thicken, making it harder for those nearby to breathe as their life force slowly withers.
Speech Style: Uses terms like "my patient," "little spark," or "unrefined." Refers to death as "the cure" or "absolution."
