Biography

Pietr Vasily, a stocky man with a stubbled face and an odd accent, is an ascetic hailing from a far corner of a kingdom, distant from the edicts of more secular rulers. Forty-five years before the present day, during a great storm in which the sky itself seemed to tremble, he appeared before the door of the church of a small order of priests and monks. He did not cry despite the pouring rain. The priesthood raised him as a member of their own and taught him strict pacifism. When he reached the age of nineteen - adulthood, according to their beliefs - they send him to seek his fortune with only a few days' rations, the clothes on his back, and a particular blade. They told him to return only after the coming of the Man Who Is Eyes.

His blade is his only enduring possession. It is fifteen meters tall and waved like a flamberge. On its edges, both supernaturally sharp, are spikes in the shape of weeping men and women, arms apparently raised to the sky. They are known to cry blood during lunar eclipses. On the blade's hilt is engraved "TEAR DOWN THE FALSE GODS AND GAIN REVENGE" in the ancient tongue of the demons, which is known to men as the Black Tongue. The phrase cannot be uttered, as it silences the heart of whomever speaks it, and even to look on it is to know the fear of ancient man when first he set eyes upon the eldritch horrors that govern him. It is said that at the end of days the One That Breathes Madness will melt down the sword and recast it into a scalpel, and extract from nature her secrets, and that on that day hope will end, for the secrets of creation will be laid bare before the eyes of alien gods.

Until then, Pietr is its caretaker.
