:P
Has the mass murderer spot been taken? Oh well, I've enjoyed RPing this guy so far, so I suppose it will work for whatever purposes you have.
Name: Hanniel Baal (Preferred name Baal, pronounced Han-yel Ball)
Race: Dunmer
Gender: Male
Age: 103 (Equivalent of late fifties)
Sign: The Atronarch
Faction: None
Class: Killer
Skills: Baal is a cold blooded serial killer, the worst kind of criminal, made worse by his near madness. However, he is very persuasive, with a witty intellectual charm that has fooled many victims in the past. He is abnormally skilled with all kinds of weaponry, especially short blades and daggers, and is especially vicious unarmed. He is very nimble and athletic despite his age, though is not particularly stealthy or adroit in the other skills commonly associated with murderers. Before vicious killings became public knowledge, he was renowned across many scholarly institutions for his vast intelligence, notably in the fields of mathematics, anatomy, and psychology. He was also known for being somewhat of an epicurean, lavishing his home with the most expensive of Akaviri and Dwemer artifacts, as well as many fine works of literature and art. He was also an adroit chef.
Appearance: Small and sleek, Baal does not appear very threatening. However, his arms contain a wiry strength, and he possesses physical grace and power strange for his age. He has a rather bent posture, and he appears rather gaunt, with deep lines in his face. He has sharp features and small, nimble hands. He has six fingers on his left hand, his middle finger duplicated perfectly between his middle and index.
Hair: Dark, slicked back hair with a pronounced widow's peak.
Eyes: A softer, maroon hue of the normal Dunmer red. His eyes reflect light in pinpoints of red fire, dancing spots of light in his otherwise cold eyes.
Height: 5' 6''
Weight: 140 lbs
Personality: A pure sociopath, he lacks remorse or morals. He portrays a superficial charm, but this only belies his darker intentions; he will trick his victims into their own demise. He is a pathological liar, and a very good one at that; he believes in no authority other than his own. He is incredibly narcissistic, believing himself above all wrongs, and incapable of error. The one thing he hates above all else is boredom, and will go to great lengths to alleviate or prevent it, including murder. He is also renowned for his intelligence, particularly in mathematics, anatomy, and psychology.
Hobbies: Torture, seduction, murder, etc.
Fears: Being alone, with nothing to do, especially in a prison cell.
Goals: He has no long term goals, other than escape from his current imprisonment and the cure for his boredom.
Religion: Baal pays homage to no gods, though he does respect several Daedra, including Boethiah, Mephala, and Dagon.
Weapons: He will use whatever he can get his deft hands on, or his own body. He has great martial prowess, though not in any particular style. He is also infamous for his biting.
Clothing: Tattered pants and shoes, along with a straight jacket and mask.
Miscellaneous: Nothing
History: Baal was born to a noble Dunmer family in Tear, and during his childhood he was declared a child prodigy. He grew up around the best tutors money could buy, though none seemed to be able to keep up with his outstanding intellect, and all quickly ran out of material to teach him. He absorbed all information he could get his hands on, storing it away in his vast memory; he was particularly interested in the fields of mathematics, anatomy, and psychology, and surpassed many of the great scholars of Tamriel in the subjects.
However, his happy childhood ended in a revolt by the Argonians enslaved by House Dres, in which the lizards broke into his family's summer mansion and killed his parents and beloved sister. He spent several months a prisoner of these rebels, before the Morrowind authorities could track them down and bring the majority to justice, freeing young Baal.
Unfortunately, the Dunmer military did not capture all of Baal's tormentors, a fact that drove the teenage elf mad with hatred, the beginnings of his psychopathy. He hunted down each surviving Argonian, most of whom had gone on to have happy, successful lives in other parts of Tamriel, and slaughtered them mercilessly, claiming vengeance for his sister.
After that he returned to a fairly normal life, becoming a scholar in Mournhold, working to become a natural healer, a physician who did not utilize magic, being he was incapable of doing so. After many years he became a successful healer and scholar, publishing many groundbreaking works in his chosen fields. He eventually moved to the Imperial City to take a position as the Emperor's personal physician, along with treating many Imperial noble's psychological problems.
However, he never lost that spark of madness, and throughout the years continued his murders, no authority ever suspecting him of the crimes. Throughout the years he has been connected to over thirty murders, though it is suspected he has committed far more. He refuses to comment on the fact, occasionally publishing scholarly texts from his position in the Imperial Dungeons, though none to do with his own mental issues.
Reason for Incarceration: Baal was an infamous serial killer, known as the Monster of Weye, who was eventually caught by an investigator who happened to stop by his home in the Imperial City, where he was living as a scholar (psychologist). The investigator, who was attempting to bring the Monster of Weye to justice at the time, noticed a book called "The Axe Man" on Baal's bookshelf, an account of an investigator in Morrowind questioning a Tong assassin, and immediately recognized the volume. He also knew that one of the Monster's victims was killed in a similar way to that of the uncle in the book. Piecing the two facts together, he immediately tried to leave for backup. However, Baal was waiting for him, and attempted to stab him with a makeshift knife. The investigator escaped, though his wounds were severe, and returned to the house minutes later with a swarm of guards. Baal was sitting in an easy chair, his perfect smile wide, the bloody knife still in his small hand.
Fun Fact: Not only is he a murderer, but he is a cannibal as well. I'm sure if you haven't discovered my blatant tribute to an amazing character by now, then that should do it.
