Aragus (A-Ra-Gus)
Lord Aragus (a.k.a. The Jealous Lich)
Aragus, a haunting figure draped in a tattered blue hood, bore the unsettling visage of a lich. His journey into the abyss of dark magic and thirst for supremacy began in his early years, born into royalty in Nax Fort. However, obscured by the shadows of his peers, Aragus harbored an insatiable hunger for power, pilfering valuable artifacts from Nax Fort's vaults in his pursuit of dominance. His insatiable pursuit eventually led to a harrowing accident, transforming him into a lich and granting him the twisted immortality he sought. Joining Abraxas in the tumultuous era of the Dark War, Aragus vied for influence, yet found himself overshadowed once more as Abraxas appointed Deathbringer as his second in command. This marked the genesis of an intense rivalry between Aragus and Deathbringer, despite their shared allegiance within the same faction under Abraxas' banner. Throughout the war, Aragus etched his name in infamy, contributing to the Fall of Nax Fort, imprisoning Albion, and engaging in formidable battles, including his near-victory against Deathbringer, showcasing his relentless quest for dominance within Nentryl's ranks.

Morality & Philosophy
Morality is a nebulous concept when it comes to Aragus. Driven by an unyielding thirst for power, he was often blind to the ethical ramifications of his actions. His desire to ascend to the pinnacle of authority clouded his judgment, steering him into darkness and causing him to commit morally dubious acts without hesitation. His relentless pursuit of supremacy superseded any moral qualms, casting him as a character ensnared in the relentless grasp of ambition and obsession.
Personality Characteristics

The core motivation that propelled Aragus through the Dark War was a consuming thirst for ultimate power and an incessant need to establish his prominence. His actions were steered by an insatiable desire to be recognized, to command reverence, and to etch his name indelibly into the annals of history.
Virtues & Personality perks
Aragus's imposing presence and feared reputation were his foremost strengths. His aura of power and command, coupled with his mastery of necromancy, instilled terror in those who crossed his path. This fear often garnered respect and, in some cases, unwavering loyalty from those under his influence. His charismatic demeanor and skillful manipulation of others bolstered his ability to gather followers and influence events to his advantage.
Vices & Personality flaws
Impulsivity was a notable flaw in Aragus's character. His impetuous decisions often led to reckless actions and compromised strategies, undermining the effectiveness of his plans. Additionally, his obsessive thirst for ultimate power served as a double-edged sword, clouding his judgment and driving him toward increasingly perilous pursuits. This obsessive drive blinded him to potential consequences and left him vulnerable to exploitation by those who understood his relentless ambition.
