Arestopheles

Name Inspiration:
"Ares- Greek, Mephistopheles - German Folklore"

Encounter Description:
''Two wrought iron spikes, driven through the skull, are twisted and protruding from his contorted forehead. Another wrought iron spike extends from his chin. His human-like face is warped, asymmetrical, and unnerving. "What's the matter? Does my face pain you," he bellows in a throatless voice. In fact, a choker around his neck reveals a cavity in his throat. He stands up, revealing the figure of a muscular man. His flesh, like the others, is cauterized and disfigured. His shoulders, arms, and legs, are armored with plates that have been bolted into his body. He cracks his neck, "there are worse things than pain."''

Biography:
Arestopheles was a talented blacksmith and warrior. After seeing his weapons used in battle, he became infatuated with war and violence. Lusting for violence, he continued to craft weapons. However, over time, the weapons he created became more sick and painful, losing sight of function and instead focusing on his infatuation with inflicting pain on others. His skills drove him to the occult, where he learned about the Infernal Order.
