Tarthas (Tar-Thas)

Lord of Reaver (a.k.a. Deathbringer)

Tarthas, known as Deathbringer, bore a spectral countenance—a pale visage shrouded in pallor, with eyes ablaze in an eerie luminescence and long, obsidian locks cascading around him. His transformation from Tarthas to Deathbringer unfurled a saga drenched in vengeance and dark ascension. Fuelled by a quest for retribution following the tragic demise of his parents at the hands of Naxion's men, Tarthas metamorphosed into Deathbringer. His sinister retribution began by slaying four of Naxion's men, carving a path of malevolent resurgence. Ascending as Abraxas' second in command following his liberation from imprisonment, Deathbringer played a pivotal role in pivotal events—contributing to the Fall of Nax Fort, besting formidable adversaries like Aragus, and subsequently forming Reaver after his punishment by Abraxas. His loyalty oscillated from initial allegiance to Nentryl to an unwavering commitment to Reaver, a manifestation of his vengeance-fueled quest for dominance and retribution.

Quotes & Catchphrases

"That damned power seeker is now trying to kill me. Only because he is jealous of my success. I tried being nice to him, but there is no other option. Tell everyone else to kill Aragus" - Tarthas to one of his troops after he finds out about Aragus hunting him. "My loyalty, once sworn to Nentryl's dark embrace, now unravels like threads lost to time's cruel weave. I relinquish my place in the shadowed hierarchy, for the cloak of necromancy no longer drapes my weary shoulders. Though I step away, it is not without a heavy heart; the chains of the past, now shattered, yet leave scars upon my soul. As I part ways, I carry a melancholic burden, but it's the weight of freedom that grants me a new path, an unwritten fate I dare to embrace." - Tarthas about him leaving Nentryl's hierarchy. "I sense him. He is near. If Morpheus really wants the trouble, he will get it. As for Aragus, I will drive my sword right into that cowards chest" - Tarthas to his troops about his impending conflict with Morpheus and Aragus. "Oh, how the tables have turned. When I was a Necromancer, I showed no empathy towards anyone. I would have probably ended up like Aragus and all the others if it wasn't for your convincing. I admire you above anyone else. Destroy him" - Tarthas to Albion before the Battle of Antaria.
