Biography

Mamoudaki Kalanik was born in poverty near Sijan, and at a young age was went by his family to apprentice as a mortician. There, he learned mostly that death was the great equalizer: kings and paupers leave behind the same sorts of corpses. His teachers were either abusive or neglectful, as they did not expect him to go far; when he fell ill with a fever, he went untreated and died.

At the moment of death, however, the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears came to him and offered him the power to get revenge on those who had mistreated him, and power over death itself. As an Abyssal Exalted, he trained with her at the Fortress of Crimson Ice; he acquired impeccable manners and perfect etiquette, and altered his appearance to give himself inhuman beauty.

The Lover keeps her Prince loyal by feeding him power with her kisses; they are the only thing capable of giving him pleasure. He had a fascination with torture, however, and if the Lover didn't keep him distracted he would probably pledge himself to the Neverborn, as the only things capable of imposing truly endless suffering.

The Prince of Shadows carries a soulsteel goremaul and wears soulsteel articulated plate armor. He also wears a collar of night's sterile shade, which keeps his appearance immaculate at all times. His vanity is the only thing that can challenge his sadism, and he would happily murder anyone who claimed to know about his lowly birth.
