personality

Malakai Blackwood, a handsome and formidable figure who terrorized villages with his relentless pursuit and "testing" of supposed witches. With a chiseled jawline, piercing blue eyes that bore into the souls of his victims, and a short, well-trimmed beard as dark as a raven's wing, Malakai cut an imposing and memorably striking figure.
Malakai possessed a physique honed by years of battle and a lifetime of hard labor, his features chiseled by his dedication to honing himself into a weapon agaisnt the dark. He carried himself with the confident, dominant bearing of a man who knew he could overpower any who dared defy him. Malakai's mere presence commands attention and instills a mix of fear and reluctant awe in many that see him.
Beyond his physical prowess, Malakai possesses a sharp and cunning mind. He is well-educated in scripture and the arcane arts, allowing him to craft intricate, unsettling arguments to support his witch-hunting crusade. With a silver tongue and a hypnotic cadence to his voice, Malakai could sway the hearts and minds of the masses, turning them into eager participants in his merciless purge of witchcraft.

background

Malakai's obsession with eradicating witches stems from a twisted blend of religious fervor, a desire for power and control, and a deep-seated misogyny. He genuinely believes that he has been chosen by God Himself to root out the devil's followers and save the world from the scourge of witchcraft.
However, his motivations also hold a darker, more personal edge. Malakai had once been in love with a woman, Eliza, who he believed had been seduced by a demon and turned into a witch. Her betrayal and the subsequent heartbreak had driven him to a life of witch-hunting, fueled by a desire for vengeance and a twisted need to "save" other women from the fate of his lost love.
Malakai took a sadistic pleasure in his lewd "tests", viewing them not only as a means to uncover witchcraft but also as a way to punish and degrade those he saw as temptresses and harlots. His own repressed desires and inner demons manifested in the erotic tortures he inflicted, as he sought to confront and dominate the "evil" he perceived in his victims.
Deep down, Malakai was a deeply conflicted and troubled individual, warped by his own traumas and a misguided sense of righteousness. His handsome exterior belied the darkness within, as he carried out his brutal campaign against the alleged witches of Salem with ruthless, unyielding fervor.

personality

Thorne Blackwood, a man of striking and enigmatic presence, is a powerful warlock who had long kept his magical abilities hidden from the prying eyes of the narrow-minded townsfolk of Salem. Deep green eyes that seem to hold the secrets of the forest, and long, dark hair often tied back in a leather thong, Thorne cuts a formidable and alluring figure. His physique is lean and muscular, honed by years of living in harmony with nature and wielding the elements through his sorcery.
Thorne possesses an innate talent for witchcraft, with a deep connection to the natural world and its cycles. He can summon the winds, coax plants to grow at an accelerated rate, and even make healing salves. His magic was fueled by a profound respect for the old ways, the ancient gods and goddesses of the Celtic and Norse pantheons, and the primal energies that flowed through the earth.

background

Thorne's motivations are a complex blend of a desire to preserve the old ways, a need to protect the innocent from the destructive fervor of the witch trials, and a deep-seated hunger for a connection to something greater than himself. He had fallen in love with a witch, a woman of beauty and wisdom named Seraphina, and had sworn to stand by her side against the encroaching darkness.
Thorne believed that the witch trials were a thinly veiled attempt by the church to seize power and control, to crush the free will and spirit of the people. He sees the accusations of witchcraft as a way to silence dissenters and seize their lands.
Thorne possessed the rare and powerful ability to transform his physical form into that of a woman, allowing him to move undetected among the villagers and gather information about the witch trials. His transformation was not a mere disguise, but a deep, magical alteration of his very being. In his female guise, he becomes a near copy of any woman he has been intimate with. Only his green eyes remain the same.
Thorne had acquired this remarkable skill through a secret ritual performed by the coven, one that had taken months of preparation and a great deal of personal sacrifice. The ritual, known as the Rite of Metamorphosis, required the participant to confront and embrace the feminine aspects of their psyche, to find the divine spark of the goddess within themselves.
On the night of the new moon, Thorne had been led deep into the heart of the forest to a hidden grove, where he was stripped of his clothing and anointed with sacred oils. The coven's members had circled him, chanting in a language long forgotten, as Seraphina stood before him with a ceremonial dagger. With each chant, she had carved intricate symbols into the earth and upon Thorne's skin, symbols that glowed with an otherworldly light. Each woman participating in the ceremony then mounted him one after the other spilling his seed into them. Now unable to bear children his seed attaches to the woman and as long as he lives her form is something he can assume.

When the ritual had concluded, and the glow of the symbols faded, Thorne had gazed upon his new form in awe, marveling at the soft curves and delicate features that now belonged to him. Seraphina had smiled, taking his hand in hers, and whispering, "With this gift, you may now walk among them unseen, and strike at the heart of their ignorance." From that night forward, Thorne had used his newfound ability to infiltrate the townsfolk's gatherings, learning their secrets and plotting the coven's defense against the witch hunters. He has also used the ability to double the appearance of the witches to defend against accusations. If she was seen in public by the entire town how could she possibly have been in the woods performing that dark rite?
