APPEARANCE

---

Face claim: Frank Langella as Skeletor

Height: Varies

Weight: ?

Description: The Magnificent Emperor Moebius, as he calls himself, typically wears a strange combination of black robes and armor made of a silver-looking metal. On his face, he wears a wooden mask in the shape of a skull. The paint was white once, but the paint has yellowed and cracked with age, and in some places shows that the wood is rotten. His eyes, which show from the holes in the mask, are a deep and unnatural red that seem to almost glow with an inner fire. In his more lucid moments, those same eyes are green. Also beneath the mask lies a face that resembles a skull somewhat itself... His hands, legs, arms, chest, and stomach are all completely covered, never visible from behind the boots and gloves. Though, occasionally, Moebius' fingers bend in a way that implies his fingers are perhaps longer and thinner than they appear to be. Moebius' height also varies, as he sometimes seems to be a head shorter than most Quenyi, to something taller than a Vedenyan... albeit, much thinner and more brittle-looking.

BEHAVIOR

---

Strengths: Solid knowledge of necromancy and other magics, inquisitive and insightfully intelligent, powerfully persuasive

Weaknesses: Maniacally and magically mad, self important and aggrandizing, prone to overly complicating things, self-destructively evil, knowledge based on another world's magic

Motivation: To conquer this world and every other.

Personality: Moebius is a rather genial and friendly fellow, and will often prattle on with all the warmth of a kind grandfather about magic and wondrous things. Unfortunately, Moebius is also utterly mad and quite gleefully evil in thought and deed. He craves nothing less than absolute power over his new, adopted world, and he shall stop at nothing to get it. Whether that requires him to aid a plucky hero in defeating the DoomCallers or slaughter a village full of innocents to "cull overgrazers" matters little to the most Magnificent Emperor Moebius, First and Last of His Name. All are sheep or dogs or wolves to this son of a shepherd, and there is little difference between living and dead meat.

HERITAGE

---

Birthplace: Remon, in the Land of the Living

Family: None that live.

History: He came from the Allways. While not much is known about the one that calls himself "The Magnificent Emperor Moebius, the First", the Royal Guards were able to glean some details of his previous life shortly after he appeared from a rotten root at the base of the Allways Tree. This, of course, took place after the strange man in the skull mask spilled his own blood and spoke to empty air for some time in an unknown tongue, before turning to eventually speak with the Guard in strangely accented Selânean. 

Moebius was born a shepherd, in a place called "Remon", which apparently had three capital cities for three separate races that called the land home. In his early years, he was a mere shepherd who, by luck and study, was literate. He would often bring books with him when he took the village's sheep out to pasture, studying various subjects and reading and re-reading any texts he could get his hand on via lending and spending his meager coin. Then, one day, he found the book. The strange, black book he was carrying on him when he arrived. It is filled with parchment pages bound in codex style between a cover of black leather that does not look to made of regular hide. The Royal Guards saw only gibberish on its cover and pages, but Moebius claimed it was titled "A Guide to Mastering the Artes Necromantick" and that it was filled with notes made by the original author and himself on the art of "Necromancy" along with some notation of "shamanic magic". This knowledge of magic, he claimed, allowed him to walk the Allways, which he called the In-Between and The Interstitium, to summon forth the spirits of items and the dead, to control and meddle with the souls of living beings, to break bones with a word, and even to raise corpses as mindless undead beasts with a sacrifice of blood. He also claimed to have become a "strigoi vuir" a "living vampire" who could consume blood and souls to turn into "mana" and that even the demons that ruled the "Tetrarchy" or the "Former Horde" feared him. It also allowed him to "escape" his world which he claimed was dying after the gods abandoned it. The book was confiscated for later study by the Royal Guard and it was ordered that Moebius be taken to Nythalaê for further interrogation.

Shortly after this, Moebius lifted his mask and gasped and inhaled, and sucked a strange silvery substance out of his interrogator via the mouth. His interrogator seemed to wither and lose energy until he fell to the ground. Then, Moebius spoke a word and the interrogator rose from the ground again, before going mad and attacking his comrades. The interrogator did not die until his head was separated from his shoulders, but by then Moebius had disappeared. His strange book, which had been moved out of the room before the confusion started, and locked in a specially crafted containment chest, also disappeared. It is unknown how that happened at this time.

What is known is this. Moebius does not belong here. Moebius' magic does not belong here. And Moebius is a danger to all that live, for so long as he goes uncaptured. He must be driven from this plane, and back to his dying world if possible. He must be, or else everyone shall suffer.
