''On the podium of crates, overlooking the grizzly ritual, a dark figure looms. A fiendblood with dark purple skin that resembles onyx in the dim light, this figure has long black hair and a series of short, protruding horns that resemble an unholy crown. His irises catch and absorb the light, glowing a luminous, malicious green, his irises surrounded by inky black rather than typical whites.''
