Thiago Varela by VoidGift on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Name: Thiago Varela

Race: Dark Elf

Class: Wizard

Personality:
Thiago Varela is a figure cloaked in mystery and shadows, his every move calculated with the precision of a master strategist. His intelligence is unmatched, and he wields it like a weapon, always two steps ahead of his adversaries. Arrogance seeps from him, a product of both his innate talent and the countless hours spent mastering the arcane arts. He is ruthless and cunning, never hesitating to eliminate obstacles in his path to power, regardless of the cost. Beneath his cold, charismatic exterior lies a deeply vindictive nature; Thiago never forgets a slight, no matter how small, and his retribution is as relentless as it is inevitable. Yet, this drive for control over time itself stems from a profound fear of his own mortality—a weakness he hides beneath layers of illusion and deception. Despite his flaws, Thiago possesses a magnetic presence, drawing others into his web of schemes, often without them realizing the full extent of his manipulations until it is far too late.

Skills:
Thiago is a maste of illusion magic, allowing him to conceal the physical toll of his past mistakes and maintain the appearance of youth and vigor. His knowledge of dark magic is deep and formidable, enabling him to cast powerful spells that range from life-draining curses to necromantic rituals. The Bloodstone Dagger he wields is a testament to his skill in magical craftsmanship, a weapon that not only inflicts grievous wounds but also siphons the life force of his enemies to heal him. However, despite his best efforts, Thiago has yet to perfect the dagger’s ability to drain the youth from his victims—a failure that gnaws at him constantly.

His pursuit of chronomancy, the magic of time manipulation, is his deepest obsession. While he has achieved minor successes in slowing or hastening time in localized areas, true mastery eludes him, leaving him vulnerable to the ravages of the curse he brought upon himself. His overreliance on magic, particularly illusions, can sometimes be his undoing, as his physical form is far frailer than his enemies might suspect.

Backstory:
Born into a prestigious family within the dark elf society, Thiago Varela was recognized as a prodigy in the arcane arts from a young age. His curiosity and unbridled ambition led him to delve into dangerous magics, seeking knowledge and power that others feared to touch. It was this ambition that drove him to attempt a ritual aimed at manipulating time itself—a ritual that went disastrously wrong. The spell backfired, aging him prematurely and leaving him trapped in a body far older than his years. Consumed by vanity and the fear of mortality, Thiago became obsessed with reversing the curse, dedicating his life to the study of chronomancy in the hope of regaining his lost youth.

As the years passed, his obsession deepened, twisting his once-promising future into a dark and solitary pursuit of power. He created the Bloodstone Dagger, a weapon infused with life-draining magic, but found that it could only heal his body, not restore his lost years. This failure only fueled his determination, driving him to push the boundaries of magic even further. Thiago’s relentless pursuit of time manipulation has left him isolated, feared by those who once admired him and hunted by those who see his ambitions as a threat to the very fabric of reality. Yet, Thiago remains undeterred, for he believes that true power lies in the ability to control time, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal—even if it means bending the universe itself to his will.
