Appearance

The traveller's shadowy and massive form fills the doorway. His great grey cloak allows you to see his huge gauntleted hands, and feet shod in dark hard boots. You scan to his face, a face encased in grey helm with hidden mouth veiled in dark silk. Your are strangely drawn to his eyes. Those endless pools, sometimes dark sometimes luminous, but always focused, reflect other worlds and...angles that they coldly perceive.

You ask inevitably a pressing question. "Why is his face hidden?"

Beneath his great dark grey cloak something rustles and moves. Small inhuman, alien jointed limbs click and clatter against something solid in the dark folds of his cloak. Hidden mouths drink in the sounds, smells, and spark of your life and shiver with unnatural ravenous hunger.

The travellers pained, inhumanly deep voice swells as a tide in your chest.

"ENDGAME HAS COME FOR YOU!"

Two head sized, spider like drops of inkiest night leap from the travellers shadowy heart all too eagerly to the floor and scuttle intently towards you. A broadsword appearing from some shadowy wonb slips into his armoured right hand. Blue lightning crackles and plays across the blade bringing with it the warning smell of ozone and the raising of hairs.

Before you the air PULSES with energy and the traveller, this Walker In Shadow, covers the dozens of paces you believed your ally in one single, unbelievable step. His enormous frame's sudden, violent imposition on your ego nails you to your corner. That terrible head steadily, and with the inevitability of fate, tilts down at your terror stricken frame.

An ugly seam appears down the vertical middle of his... mask. With a hiss the helm opens discouragingly outwards. The silk veil drops away from beneath his half helm. You want to look away but somehow his irresistable mailed hand holds your head still and slave to its unrelenting grip. Your now panicking orbs tear at their sockets in a final attempt to escape. But their last fight is without hope. Now, when finally his visage unshadowed reveals a travesty of a face, your mind can only scream findling no reprieve save in drooling, unfettered, MADNESS!

Endgame

Base of Operations

The Path of Endgame, an extradimensional pathway that links Endgame with members of the Endgame Connection. Endgame is always travelling.

Secondary Titles

The Drawer of Doom

The Opener of Pockets

Transport

Endgame can walk to any place he can imagine, provided he has sufficient power.

Character

There is much debate over Endgame's morality. He uses weapons and skills associated with deplorable professions, 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 any place 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 which beings 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 avoidance of collatoral damage is a factor, although this limitation is of course one of conscience only.

Agents

It is unclear whether the Sisters of Hunger that (apparently) serve him in its multiple forms are Agents. No-one asks him questions about it.
