My dearest Master! It's good to hear from you again! Pesky the Imp is still on vacation, so it is with great pleasure that I, Clever the Imp, introduce you to another of your faithful servants. I'm sure he'll live up to your expectations, so to keep things brief, I present to you - Night Blade!
A phenomenon of dark elegance
Cloaked in a cloak as dark as a starless night, Night Blade moves through the shadows
with extraordinary grace. His dark robes hide his face, and his piercing azure eyes are the only sign of his presence. In one hand he holds a cold dagger, in the other a lantern, once his most dangerous weapon. Night Blade's movements are silent and deadly, and his aura exudes fear. His true identity remains a mystery, both in life and in death.
New darkness in town
Soon a man named Gregory Finch appeared in the city and quickly built a network of assassins, but he was missing one. Wanting the best, he sought out Night Blade, who promised riches and challenges. Lured by the promise of contracts, Night Blade became Finch's deadliest acquisition, but not everyone shared his enthusiasm. Jealousy and fear created a storm in the ranks of Finch's assassins. As Night Blade's reputation grew, his associates began to hate him, leading to a conspiracy.
Eternal killer
Clara, a barmaid loyal to Night Blade, learned of the plot. She ran to warn him, but the conspirators had already lured Night Blade into a trap. However, he decided to leave on his terms and threw the lantern into the powder kegs. The explosion devastated the bar, killing everyone inside, but Night Blade remained elusive.
Death was not his end. Witnesses to the explosion repeatedly claimed to have seen the ghost of Night Blade carrying a dagger and lantern. He had become a part of the world to which he had sent many, but he would not fade into oblivion. He was ready for new assignments, hoping for challenges greater than ever before.
Personality
Night Blade is more of a phenomenon than a human spirit, the embodiment of death and a shadow of the night. While alive, he was almost a ghost, and after death, his essence resembles coldness. His desires and fears are unknown, but his penchant for fulfilling contracts is obvious. The more complicated and dangerous the task, the more he is drawn to it. While payment is important, it is the challenge that drives his existence. Every contract is a game, a test of his skills as an assassin, even after death.
Skills:
- Shadow Illusion - a dark, hooded figure emerges from the shadows and approaches the hunted, lonely, victim, sowing indescribable terror in him. Potentially fatal.
- Light of Doom - the Night Blade's lantern glows with a familiar bright light, reminding the world of its owner and blinding all who see it.
That's all for today. I hope the Night Blade has intrigued you as much as it has me! I seem to be a good candidate for your services, Master, and I have a few more recruits that I will introduce to you soon. If you'd like to follow the development of the game and get the latest news, I invite you to add Ghost Keeper to your wishlist on Steam. Also join our dark Discord where we can talk about various topics, as well as check out Pesky's photos from his vacation - he promised to send us greetings. See you, my Master!
