Merakesh Larkin
Merakesh Larkin (a.k.a. Kesh; The Dark; Brother; Wolf)
“I’m no longer in darkness,” he sighed. “I am The Dark.”Sliding to the floor, the anger and confusion he felt inside had paralysed him, it humbled him, it threw the world upside down and he saw himself as others would – a monster in obscurity, a stealer of light, a bringer of death, a destroyer of worlds – The Dark.
Unang ipin’nak, yana’tong mai dugo at taram. Kadilmin re pamlarc, la nati’hinja ba chula chu’ka.” First born, lead with blood and blade. Hold true the hunt, and keep thy darkness close.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
Merakesh has been embued with Blood Magic and has 5 wards on his right arm. They are hidden amongst other tattoos to hide their true purpose as blood magic is forbidden.
