Kakio

""Those overgrown trees may save you from the Light's glare, but the heart of Rak'tika has much more than just some ugly horrors waiting to spill your innards.""

Kakio (formerly named Basilius Aldwin), is a mage of mysterious origins residing deep within the heart of the Rak'tika Greatwood, rumored by the seldom travelers to bring them gifts... or their doom.

Dubbed "The Shade" by surviving bards and travelers, Kakio roams the shadows beneath the ancient trees, unhalted and unheard.

Biography
Born under the name Basilius Aldwin within the domains of Eulmore, not much is known nor remembered about the mage's past, his disappearance from civilization likely having taken place either during a civil revolt or Lord Vaulthry's meol-induced rule.

Possessing an imposing figure, Kakio is a tall man with long raven locks for hair and a ghostly complexion likely a result of his preference for the darkness. He is draped in layers of worn black cloth that further accentuate the grisly red burn-like scars about his whitened eyes. He speaks as if ever parched, his deep voice grated harsh and hollow by audible pain.

Trivia

 * Kakio's signature owl-like outfit, tailored by the man himself, was designed like so to ward off predators.
 * While his eyes appear destroyed and sightless, Kakio occasionally responds to 'larger' visual stimuli, and less frequently can accurately react to them.
