| Personality |
| Sadistic | Duplicitous | Greedy | Cunning | Narcissistic |
Rohrkhel is a sadistic and duplicitous individual. While he presents himself as a respectable demon for hire, his deals and contracts often have fine print written into them to his benefit and his client's detriment. He has a way with smooth talking his way through conversations, using either subtle or overt methods to intimidate people while wearing a smile. He will happily look you in the face and offer a hand of assistance while the other is holding a dagger behind his back. He thinks very highly of himself and his abilities, and often lets his own desire for both money and souls get the better of him.
Equipment
| Iron Chain Sword |
A bone sword reinforced with an iron edge to protect it when used for blocking against other weapons. A simple mechanism and quick flick of the wrist loosens the blade, thus extending its length to have the fluidity and movement of a whip that can extend and lash at opponents to flay flesh from bone. In this form, the weapon can be used like a chain and can be thrown to wrap around limbs, necks, etc.
| Crystal Mirror |
A simple crystal mirror the size of a sizeable pocket watch. Does not appear to be anything of particular merit, but it does show a reflection of Rohrkhel's true form. He can also project spectral images onto it.
Traits and Abilities
| Spirit Talk - Skill | Rohrkhel is able to communicate with spirits and ghosts from beyond death, and can gain information from listening to spectral voices. He is also able to bring forth ephemeral images of specific spirits, usually in order to satisfy job requests to see deceased loved ones.
| Soul Contract - Ability | When Rohrkhel makes a contract with a client with the promise of their soul or the souls of others in exchange for his assistance, he is able to know where the individual he has made a contract is at all times for when he inevitably comes to collect what he is owed. Once the contract is resolved, then this no longer applies. Those who attempt to break their contract best sleep with one eye open at all times, because he will come for those who fail to uphold their end of the bargain.
| Business Demon - Ability | Rohrkhel despite being a murderous demon is quite fluent when it comes to the language of money. He is able to extort and gain 5% more gold for his work or coerce merchants into selling their wares to him for an equal percentage. [Percentage increases by 5% for every 2 Levels - 10% at Level 3 and caps at 15% at Level 5]
| Enervating Aura - Ability | Rohrkhel possesses an ominous aura about him, and one described to be roughly about 2 meters radius around him where individuals have described their own bodies feeling slowly drained while around him. This is due to Rohrkhel slowly leeching their energy and absorbing it into his own body, stealing 0.05% Strength and Endurance per individual within the radius of affliction up to a max of four targets at once for a total of 3% boost to his own Strength and Endurance.
Biography
There is little knowledge regarding the history of the demon by the name of Rohrkhel. Those that have had the misfortune of running into him often speak of how enigmatic he is, a figure shrouded in mystery and turmoil. Rohrkhel for many years has simply existed, a wandering crossroads demon who makes deals with mortals in exchange for objects of value, with the greatest prize being the souls of mortals. He is drawn to individuals that have a history of turmoil and grief, often finding it the easiest to extort what he desires from them. Typically he finds clients who have lost themselves to depression, and when presented the opportunity to see a deceased loved one for one final time from Rohrkhel, often offer up whatever their miserable existence can offer - if they cannot pay in coin, they can pay with their very souls.
Often times, Rohrkhel promises a fleeting moment with the deceased, in exchange for the soul of the client, giving them a few brief moments to simply be with the deceased family, spouses or children before ripping their souls from their body. One of the more common lines of work that Rohrkhel finds himself in is mercenary work, typically taking clients who seek revenge. In exchange for offering his assistance he often asks for the souls of others; if one wishes for him to hunt and kill someone, he expects his client to have double the lives of however many he is asked to kill as payment - regardless of young or elderly, innocent or not-so innocent. During these types of deals, he forms a Soul Contract to make it official. Many have thought they could cheat him of his price and fled to far regions of the country, only for Rohrkhel to inevitably find him. Like the grim reaper, he always comes to collect unpaid debts.
As to why Rohrkhel does this, no one knows. Why he goes about as a mercenary demon who seeks gold or souls as payment is a mystery to many, even scholars who have observed and studied the ephemeral from ancient texts. Perhaps it is a result of a past life when Rohrkhel was possibly a mere mortal human who lived the life of a murderous cutthroat, or perhaps some other.
