Backstory:
Born in the shadowed underbelly of Vathis Prime’s labyrinthine alleys, Ninja Hell Hades was orphaned as a child in the aftermath of one of the Empire’s bloody street purges. Left to fend for himself, he learned the power of invisibility, speed, and cunning among thieves and assassins who haunted the night—the shadows became his closest ally. Gifted with unearthly reflexes and a mind sharpened by adversity, he quickly rose to legend as a deadly figure who punished the cruel and the corrupt with swift, silent retribution. Tales of his exploits—vaulting castle walls under the moonlight, toppling tyrants, vanishing into smoke—became whispered hope for the desperate, and hollow dread for the guilty. Yet for all his violence, Hades follows his own code: to mete out justice where none can be found, and to test himself against Renaris’ most dangerous foes. Some claim he makes bargains with death itself, and that he walks the line between hero and monster in every heartbeat.
Secret Backstory:
Haunted by recurring visions he cannot fully explain, Hades harbors a secret: the masked persona of “Hell Hades” may not entirely belong to him. In a hidden temple outside Vathis, he discovered an ancient relic—the Mark of Netherfire—that fused to his flesh. Since then, his rage has grown difficult to control, whispering destruction and vengeance in moments of weakness. He fears the diabolical power is slowly devouring his soul, binding him to an infernal pact started long before his birth. Hades seeks any means to master or break the Mark, desperate both to preserve his will—and to discover if the force inside is a curse, a test, or the true source of his destiny.
Age: 29
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Personality:
Hades is a tempest masked in ice. Outwardly, he is composed, rarely revealing more emotion than a sly smirk or a chilling stare. His silence unnerves foes and allies alike, and he weighs every word as if it might be his last. Driven by a fierce conviction to punish unchecked power, he is relentless in pursuit of his own twisted sense of justice, willing to cross borders others dare not approach. With allies, he keeps his distance—loyal, but forever a step outside their circle—lest his darkness threaten those he values. Hades both enjoys and mocks fear, employing intimidation not for cruelty, but to keep violence from escalating. Cunning and resourceful, he analyzes a problem from every angle, striking only when the odds suit him. He wrestles with his own inner demons, refusing to yield even when the shadows within seem poised to consume him.

Appearance:
Ninja Hell Hades is a lithe yet powerful human, defined by a perpetual readiness in every movement. He dresses in layered black leathers and muted steel, his form wrapped for utmost mobility and concealment—garments adorned with red-threaded sigils and a high-collared cloak shadowing his face. Crimson wrappings spiral up his arms and legs, and across his bare skin glimmer faint traces of infernal runes. His hair is jet-black, tied back in a warrior’s mane, save for a wild streak of white at the temple—rumored to have appeared the night he survived an encounter with a deathly spirit. His presence emanates danger and discipline; his stance always relaxed, yet every muscle ready to vanish or strike—a living shadow animated by vengeance and something far more hellish.
