Grrr...didn't spot this. (I mean ANW and FC didn't have a seprate one.)
Ok here it goes:
Name: "Gruff Old Man", "Team Leader", "Boss" , or Fal'Ki (his demon name)
Appearence: when in human form he appears to be a Tall man, 6 feet 6 inches, who is of a sturdy build (strong arms, thick legs, Burly Barrel Chest) with short graying hair and a gruff beard. He appears to be about 50 or so, maybe a little younger, has many scars, mostly on arms, chest and on large on on right side of face (runs from hair line to chin). He wears a long Red or black Duster over his combat Chest plate and greaves. he also wears armored, spiked, Knee and Elbow protectors.
When In demon from his Body is enveloped in a shimmering, (resembles heat waves) emerald aura, his eyes glow bright green. His hands become more talon like as do his feet (destroys his boots) He hovers a few inches off the ground and his speed is increased dramaticly, (moves as though teleporting, over short distances) However he tries to avoid fighting directly, he thinks it much more entertaining to watch his minions defeat his opponets.
Minions: the A.F.L. (Anbuis Fallen Legionares)
These demons and shadow beings have been hand picked by Fal'Ki, or are from his own personal forces that he brought with him from his home plane.
Rad Troopers These Demons are the personal Body guards of GOM, he keeps two with him at all times, they are massive beasts that were once humans, , besides their incredible strenght and endurance they can also gernerate a Heat shield of Radiation that will burn anthing comming with in 5 feet of them, and can also through orbs of their sheild as an attack.
Shadow-Kahn Think Ninja, If you have seen jackie Chan adventures then you know what I mean, they are the basic scout/recon for his Unit, also used for assasination or hit and run raids...Will never stay and fight, or be taken alive. (note: can not speak)
Demon Snipers these were once the greatest hunters/snipers on the mortal world, now they have been twisted and bent to serve the darkness. GOM maintains a few of these as his long ranged attackers of choice. powers: Shadow meld, silent movement, can track by sight, (has hawk like vision). Darklight rifles: method of attack, fires concentrated Darkness, anti-life, Wounds by extreme cold.
Demon Grunts These a gene-moded Humans that have been twisted with darkness, through the process of having a Unseen jamed into their still living bodies. They are sadistic warriors, feeling no pain, however they can follow orders and work in squads to achive organized combat, unlike the Unseen. These are the most common troops in GOM's unit.
Motivations: Power with Pride
GOM has been a warrior for over a thousand years. Both as a demon and the human he was in life. Over this long time he has developed a very solid set of Ideals and morales, which take the form of his honor code.
He trusts and cares about the people close to him (family friends comrades in arms) and would never betray them, or allow them to come to harm if he could avoid it. He also will not kill non-combatants or the young unless he absolutely has to, (if the enemy was using them for human sheilds or something to that extent) and is rather protective of thoese he sees as Innocents.
On the other hand, people he is not close to or does not trust have no such protections, he will beat, toruture, and kill his enemies or thoese who betray him without a second thought. Which is why he is considered to be Evil by most.
He works for Anubis because he has, in the past, been able to do so without violating his ethics, In the wars with the other gods he could go all out and there was nothing to be concerned about. Also while working for Anubis he has had accsses to more forces and in the time since joining with him has increased his Units size and power several fold. However despite these benefits he does not trust Anubis at all, he simply works for him, in fact GOM is expecting Anubis to try to kill/replace him in the near future, and has been planning a means of escape.
Goals:
GOM will follow Anubis' orders untill one of two things happens:
1. The orders are such that the would go totaly against his ideals.
2. Anubis betrays him. (which he expects to happen soon)
Afterwards, he will atempt to Cut his losses by doing the following.
1. Gathering what forces remain loyal to him.
2. Saving his officers.
3. Geting the hell out of Dodge. (while causing as much damage to Anubis as possible)
History:
GOM is very old at this point, well over a thousand years. Most of which has been spent as a demon. However he began his saga as a mortal human.
Many years ago in a Kingdom in one of the Human planes GOM was a general for a great lord. He command a small army numbering about a five hundered. He was young, in his early 30's, with a strong body and mind, he had a gift for tactics and warfare, which is what led to him being in such a powerful postion at such a young age. He was compasionate, a patriot, most of all he was trusting. He trusted all his officers without question, and reviered several as honored mentors or fathers.
As such he did not even think to question one such officer who came to him and told him one of his scouts had reported the enemy was attempting to advance to attack one of their lords villages through the forest. Taking quick Action Fal'ki summoned his elite knights and rode to intercept them. However when the arrived at the point, none were to be found. It was at this time that his Second in command, a man he had trusted since he wasa boy struck him from his horse with his lance, and as Fal'ki's knights laughed he was taken by several of the enemy's demonic grunts who appeared from the brush. As the the grunts hauled Fal'ki into the woods he screamed at the man he had trusted for years
"WHY!! WHY!!?"
The man simply laughed and said; "Because you little snot, this was mine by right and you came along and snatched it from me! Now I take it back."
Afterwards Fal'ki was taken to the enemy's Citiadel where he was tortured, beaten, questioned, and finally, through a Savage and twisted Ritual, turned into one of the demons who he had fought with for so many years...all because oh his blind trust.
"Never again will I be so blind" he swore. But fate was not finished with him, He was made by his new rulers to descend at the head of their armies on his old Kingdom's deffenses, under the leadership of his old Second in command, a vain, and as it had turned out Cowardly man, they were little match for his new powers and minions. He screamed inwardly as they forced him to destroy all that he had once loved, He even used his knowledge of the kings own Castle (he had been raised in it after all) to ensure the man's horrible demise.
Time passed, and as His demonic powers grew he waited and bided his time, for while he grew stronger the humans who had created him grew older and more decedant. Finally after over four decades of Slavery his time came...
The wrath he brought upon his old masters new no bounds, the horrors he inflicted were told as ledgends for years to come by the peoples of the Realm. After he was done he stood...alone...with nothing but his own power...and me made a Pact.
Always seek proof that the ones you trust, in fact trust you.
Always keep some distance between yourself and others.
Always destroy thoese who betray you.
Never trust someone without at least some honor.
Never Trust a god, they work in mysterious ways...
Never become someones Servant.
And by following these Codes, Fal'ki the demon, was able to survive and become more powerful. He Has never been able to trust as he did in his human days, and feels as though he has lost something of himself, but by Keeping faith in his Code, he has been able to keep his sanity and find a new life, It has been over 400 years since he gained his freedom, and he has yet to be betrayed by someone he trusts...sadly there are few that he can.
