Appearance
Endgame's shadowy and massive form fills the doorway. His great grey cloak allows you to see his huge hands, gauntletted in iron, and his feet shod in dark hard boots.
He treads slowly, steadily towards you...
You scan to his head, a head entirely encased in a matt grey helm. Your eyes are strangely drawn to his. Those endless pools, sometimes dark sometimes luminous, reflect the worlds and dimensions which they weirdly perceive.
"Why is his face hidden? What does he see?"
Beneath his great grey cloak something rustles and moves. Small inhuman, alien jointed limbs click against his armoured form. Little mouths drink in the sounds, smells and spark of life, shivering with unnatural hunger.
His gravelly, pained, inhumanly deep voice swells in your ears
"ENDGAME HAS COME FOR YOU"
Something head sized and spider like drops from in his coat to the floor and scuttles towards you. A broadsword appearing from
some other place slips into his gauntletted right hand. The warning smell of ozone accompanies the crackling play of blue lightning across the swords edge.
Around you the air PULSES with energy and the Walker Between covers the metres between you in one unbelievable step.
His head tilts down at you.
A seam appears down the vertical middle of his... mask. With a hiss the helm opens. You want to look away but his mailed hand holds your head in a grip of irresistable strength.
You cannot close your eyesAnd then
you see his fa...ce....Base of Operations

Character
There is much debate over Endgame's morality. He uses questionable weapons and skills, appears to be well on his way to becoming a fully fledged horror, and naturally walks in and perceives dimensions that drive others mad. His visage is so ghastly as to have driven fellow immortals mad. He has had amorous liaisons with (and survived quite happily) Mrs Fang, and there is a rumour of some connection to a great female spider like entity of elemental hunger. He perceives unlight with little effort and is capable of manipulating it.
Conversely all his (recorded) enemies to date have been of the "evil" or at least questionable morality variety. He apparently protects humans often at significant personal risk, from harm. His own faction, the Endgame Connection, admits no evil members. He possesses the strength of ten, one of very few immortals who can claim the ability (which relies entirely on the purity of the heart). He has on more than one occasion raised fellow adventurers to immortality at no cost. His only requirement to date has been that they do likewise. Indeed it he has even come to their aid when there has been no apparent benefit to himself.
Of course this might all be just some horrible ruse. And what about that connection to the great spider like being of elemental hunger. His titles seem tailor made for bringing in something from outside the known realms. Can he be trusted?
There is indeed much debate over Endgame's morality.
Special Abilities
As already mentioned, Endgame can "walk" to anyplace he can imagine. He can also take others with him. Endgame has at times been contracted to create middlemarches for other immortals. It is unknown who he has done this for or indeed the locations of these middlemarches. Endgame does not speak on it.
A number of artifacts in The Walkers possession have enabled him to engage armies personally.
Endgame makes an invaluable addition to even high level immortal raids. His ability to go almost anywhere... with entourage, to encircle and fix large numbers of opponents, and to create bolt holes in a pinch make for an unpredictable and potent threat with an unmatched ability to flank, evade or re-deploy. He is more limited when minimisation of collatoral damage is a priority, although far from helpless.
Agents
It is unclear whether the Unnamed Hunger that serves him in its various forms is an Agent. No-one asks him questions about it.
