Hollow Man
Hollow Men (also known as Nix, the Forlorn, and Adurra) are strange spirits that are known to target societies.
Overview
| “ | <<This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.>> | ” |
Claiming to be of Void, the Hollow Men always act in such a way as to introduce loss into the world, even if their actions appear to be beneficial in the short term.[1] They are abhorred by most elemental spirts, who will tend to either flee the Adurra or attack them on sight.[1]
Hollow Men gravitate toward the lynchpins of society (for example, the leading partners of a law firm or the head of a cabal of mages), inevitably killing them.[1] This is not merely for the sake of killing however, nor even consuming the victims. Rather, the Forlorn seek to ruin whatever society they have found.[1]
Appearance
In the Shadow, Hollow Men appear as little more than distortions, whose presence weakly sucks in nearby matter, creating small dust devils from the ensuing winds.[1] In the material world, these spirits frequently appear as humans, wearing large coats and mirrored sunglasses.[1]

Bans: Hollow Men can often be alternately fascinated or repelled by classical aesthetics. Many cannot abide the balanced melodies of a Beethoven sonata. A few have been known to freeze in place should they pass between two mirrors.
