Real Name: Unknown Occupation: Executioner Legal Status: Not applicable Identity: Uses no dual identity Place of Birth: Not applicable Marital Status: Not applicable Known Relatives: None Base of Operations: Mobile Past Group Affiliations: Former minion of Maelstrom, servant of a “dark master” (possibly a death god or entity such as Mephisto or Thog, or Death itself) Known Powers: Invulnerabilities: Deathurge is immune to heat, cold, electricity, toxins, and disease. Phasing: Deathurge has Unearthly phasing abilities, and can apparently remain intangible indefinitely. It is not known whether his phasing can disrupt electrical systems. Flight: Deathurge has up to Class-3000 Flight. Precognition, Death: Deathurge has Monstrous precognition powers, but its visions are usually limited to the upcoming death of a character, usually Deathurge’s “master.” Death Weapon: This seems to be drawn from the substance of Deathurge’s own body, most often resembling a spear. It is intangible until it strikes its intended tar get. The intended target must then make a successful FEAT roll against Shift-Y Intensity or begin losing Endurance ranks; as the target loses ranks, a blackness spreads from the bloodless wound and covers the whole body. If the weapon passes through the body of anyone other than its intended victim, it inflicts Amazing intensity (non-lethal) cold damage. This weapon is not affected by any form of physical body armor. Talents: Deathurge has +2cs with his Death Weapon. Contacts: Deathurge was a “lackey” of Maelstrom. Role-Playing Notes: Deathurge is a dark entity whose beginnings are largely unknown; this gives the Judge a lot of room to role-play him and give him background appropriate to campaign variants. Deathurge is attract ed to those who unconsciously seek death (such as Maelstrom) and will not use lethal force against others. History: Deathurge is a wraith-like superhuman who appears to be a messenger of death. He was first observed in the employ of Maelstrom. Although Maelstrom sometimes treated Deathurge as if he were a personal messenger or minion, Deathurge clearly served Maelstrom for reasons of his own. Deathurge was dispatched to slay clonal bodies of Maelstrom’s three prime minions, and twice was commanded to slay clonal bodies of Maelstrom himself. A third clonal body of Maelstrom dismissed Deathurge when he realized that they were at cross purposes. Deathurge’s current whereabouts and activities are unknown. |
