IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Vanquish chases down maniacs obsessed with life of no consequence. He Cleanses them of their madness, Serenes their spirit and Collapses their foolish castles in the skies.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

From the fractured epochs before the Sundering, when the very fabric of reality frayed and gods walked the mortal plane with careless abandon, there arose whispers of a singular deity – a being of boundless knowledge who foresaw the creeping shadow of true immortality threatening to engulf existence. This being, revered for its prescient wisdom, understood that such an unnatural state would unravel the delicate tapestry of life and death, leading to a stagnant and ultimately doomed cosmos. In its wisdom, this ancient one did not directly intervene, for the threads of fate are not to be carelessly severed. Instead, it forged a disciple, an acolyte imbued with a fraction of its own power and burdened with the knowledge of what must be undone. This acolyte was named Vanquish. Trained in forgotten rites of cleansing and the delicate art of unraveling arcane afflictions, Vanquish wields a blade imbued with the power to not merely harm, but to purge. He understands that darkness is but the absence of light, and that the most potent weapon against enduring curses is a focused, sacred severing. He treads the battlegrounds not for glory or conquest, but with the solemn duty to combat the unnatural clinging to life that perverts the cycle of eons. The whispers of his ancient patron echo in his steps, a constant reminder of the madness that awaits if the natural order is defied. Vanquish is a force against stagnation, a wielder of temporal disruption, and a living embodiment of the cosmos's inherent need for an end to every beginning. He is the bitter cure for the sweet poison of unending life.
