Renquist is a plane walker. Having won the war at the helm of the Brood Nocturne, he honoured his vow to leave that plane to it's inhabitants with the assertion that the natural order would prevail.
But war changes a man. Prior to his slavery and torture, his being used as an implement of destruction by the Empire; he was a vampire of honour and substance, a considerate and kind enough creature. No less capable of violence, his outlook was far less jaded.
With time, he chose power and violence as his two primary tools to accomplish things. In a world that only responded to violence, he employed sadism and an iron handed, unquestionable rule to see the conclusion of conflict come to fruition. As much an act such a ploy may have been, it wore into his psyche and now these tools are second nature for the man.
He walks the worlds now in a casual quest for more power, learning and increasing his capabilities. With no particular objective in mind, he finds this world's version of him, Grayell; to pique his interest. To witness the growth of another being, it's own power and nature removed from his own, intrigues him. What he may learn. What he himself might... take from his 'brother'.
He intervenes and involves himself when and where he sees fit. Still quite resolute in his belief that the natural order should be maintained, still entirely opposed to extremism and still equipped with a burning hatred for oppression, Renquist acts decisively and with surgical efficiency when he chooses to step into whatever conflict or situation draws his cruel eyes.
He has demonstrated incredible vampiric abilities, as well as the use of many dark magics and a complete mastery of blood. He can change his form, manipulate the minds of mortal men and knows no equal in physical combat. He is incredibly dangerous in every regard, his only potential flaw being his complete unwillingness to compromise his beliefs or stance.
He has one love.
His pet, Lily is named after the mother Lilith, that same namesake given to his soul eating sword. The first creature to stir such human notions in his aged form, he guards her with relentless tenacity. Should she be threatened, questioned, dishonoured or harmed, he does not care for reason or rationale, destroying the perpetrators of such crimes with alarming cruelty. He questions nothing in his quest to please her and gives her is all. She is a mystery to him, borne of unknown magics, fueled by his blood but capable of things that he himself has not witnessed.
There may be greater power within her being than Renquist himself can even fathom.
