Revenant
A Revenant straddles the worlds of the living and the dead. Born of a mortal and an undead, a Revenant leads a lonely life and often resents the world simply for being born into it. Revenants can be born of non-human races as well, such as Dragonborn or Elves.
Elrick Belmont, one of the few known Revenant. He was executed in New Liaris in 1245.
Basic Information
Biological Traits
A revenant’s face and skin clearly set a member of this unique race apart from other humanoids. A revenant’s visage has a masklike quality that can be disturbing to normal mortals. Rough, dark scales appear on the flesh near the ends of a revenant’s limbs, marking the revenant as one of those the Raven Queen allowed back into the world of the living. Revenant digits end in strong, black fingernails or toenails that resemble claws.
Genetics and Reproduction
Revenant cannot reproduce.
Growth Rate & Stages
Typically, revenant mature at the same rate as their mortal parent, but live to be 200-300 years older than them.

Average Physique
A revenant has a body that is slender for his or her height, but this form possesses an uncanny toughness that contradicts the apparent build. Revenants have the same range of complexions as humans, but a revenant’s skin is ashen and the features are sunken. Eyes are most commonly solid black with a single point of red light in place of a pupil, but other eerie eye colors—including yellow, white, silver, and gold—are not uncommon, although they always share the same fiery red pupil. In most cases, the eyes lack an iris and pupil, and some glow with a ghostly light. Revenant hair typically ranges from black to white. They can grow facial hair, and males often have beards or mustaches that accentuate their dreadful countenances.
