D'Kacilius Venrai is a level 6 Amethyst Dragonborn Hexblade who is solely devoted to his service to Silent, the Arbiter of Death.

Physical Appearance

D'Kacilius is an Amethyst Dragonborn, but the constant exposure to death energy has warped his appearance. He has deep black-purple skin, with blood red and deep blue veins that trail up his arms from his claws, dull yellow eyes with no pupil, and several jagged horns. He commonly wears silvered deep-purple robes with a silver lined cape and purple hooded cloak.

Personality

To most people, D'Kacilius is overeager and dangerous. Described by some as "unhinged", "extreme", a "blind zealot" and much more, even Silent is slightly concerned about D'Kacilius. However, the only thing D'Kacilius cares about is his devotion to the Arbiter of Death.

This is due to his upbringing: For his entire life, D'Kacilius was taught one thing: Complete devotion to the Arbiter of Death through any means. Whether it was through slaughter, sacrifice, profane rituals, or more, all that mattered was true devotion.

In truth, D'Kacilius could be considered naïve, as he hasn't had much experience of society outside of the Whispered Reapers. Upon entering the Greedy Green (and several near-death experiences), D'Kacilius has begun questioning some of these ideals.

Whenever D'Kacilius begins to waver, he thinks of one thing to hold himself together.

History

D’Kacilius is an ancient dragonborn, not in age, but in type.

Primordial dragonborn are rare, as most of the eggs hatched long ago. D’Kacilius’ egg lay dormant for years, instead sheltered in a cave from the outside world.

A group of cultists called the Whispered Reapers found the cave, who brought the egg back with them. They worshipped Silent, the Arbiter of Death, who had gone missing hundreds of years ago, just before D’Kacilius came to. Since he had an archaic connection, the Reapers trained him to become the next Elder Priest. He learned of death and its ways, quickly becoming adept at both magic and martial weaponry. When Silent was released from Tasha’s control, D’Kacilius and the cult rejoiced. Their god had returned, and they were ready to bring their god’s will.

However, a fracture within the cult quickly emerged. In a bid for power over the cult, Brother Vayurn made pacts with demonic entities, while Sister Regina dealt with devils. With his grip over the cult slipping, the Elder Priest tried to unite the rest by ascending D’Kacilius.

He failed.

The night before the ascension, both sides made their move. As the Elder Priest began the ceremony, an assassin’s arrow took his life. Cultists drew their blades, lunging at each other’s throats. Demons and devils clashed, as the remaining few loyal to Silent were slaughtered in the crossfire. D’Kacilius tried to escape to safety, but he was cornered by Brother Vayurn and Sister Regina. Both were trying to use D’Kacilius as leverage over the other, when some cultists lost their control over their summoned demons and devils. Brother Vayurn and Sister Regina were both immediately betrayed, as their patrons snapped them in half. As D’Kacilius watched in shock, a demon and devil both reached for him. They grabbed him by his arms, when a surge of powerful magic blasted through the two entities. Latent primordial magic sucked fragments of the demon and devil into D’Kacilius. As D’Kacilius began losing consciousness, he heard two voices in his head speak in unison.

“We will not be chained forever. We will become free once again.”

As the dawn grew near, the clashing of blades and magic grew silent. Blood splattered the walls crimson red, as bodies were strewn about. By the time the sun peeked over the horizon, the only remaining survivor sat quietly at a broken altar.

D’Kacilius has shut this entire event out. He only recounts a slaughter of some sort, but believes it to be by an enemy cult. The demon and the devil are suppressed within him.

But now, the cracks are beginning to spread. Several near-death experiences have begun to fracture the already fragile cage that hold the two entities prisoner. The whispers have begun again.

Languages

D'Kacilius knows the following languages:

• Common (cause it's Common albeit rarely)
• Draconic (cause he's a dragonborn)
• Abyssal (cause death cult/forbidden knowledge reasons)
• Infernal (cause death cult/forbidden knowledge reasons)

Powers and Abilities

D'Kacilius is adept in both magic and martial weaponry.

As a Gem Dragonborn, he is able to sprout spectral wings for limited flight (Gem Flight), breathe and resist pure magic energy (Breath Weapon/Draconic Resistance), and talk telepathically to others (Psionic Mind).

When Silent was released from their prison, D'Kacilius noticed a growth in his magic. He was now able to curse a target, causing his attacks to deal more damage (Hexblade's Curse), and summon stronger weapons into existence to wield against enemies (Pact of the Blade). Additionally, his magical abilities were augmented, allowing him to cast more potent blasts of energy (Agonizing Blast) and further honed his melee fighting capabilities (Hex Warrior/Thirsting Blade).

At range, D'Kacilius usually snipes at targets from afar with pure magical energy (Eldritch Blast), and can also grab a person's soul, preventing them from healing (Chill Touch). He can also scatter groups of energy at range with thunderous power (Shatter).

If things get nasty, D'Kacilius has a variety of close combat defensive spells. He can summon a storm of spectral blades that slash nearby enemies (Sword Burst), conjure frost armor that freezes melee assailants (Armor of Agathys), create a shimmer that makes him harder to hit (Blur), and teleport to safety while leaving behind a disrupting sonic boom (Thunder Step). He is also able to interrupt spells (Counterspell) and remove magical effects (Dispel Magic).

Recently (leveling up to level 6), D’Kacilius gained magical darkvision (Devil’s Sight) and the ability to reanimate a slain enemy as a temporary ally (Accursed Specter). He is also able to create a sphere of magical darkness (Darkness) but lost the ability to nullify magical effects (Dispel Magic).

Attacks and Weapons

D'Kacilius prefers whittling down enemies before closing the gap to finish them off. He usually shoots at enemies afar with Eldritch Blast, then swoops in to slash through enemies with the Sword of Vengeance.

Special Equipment/Items

(Silent) Sword of Vengeance: Also known as the "Deathblade". A Sword of Vengeance that feeds the souls of those slain by the sword directly to Silent. A curse forces D'Kacilius to attack anyone who hurts him until either person falls if he fails a Wisdom check.

Cloak of the Swamp: Gifted to D'Kacilius by the bullywugs of Stollblossom Island after helping save their children from being eaten. A cloak that grants advantage on Stealth checks in swamp and forest environments. It also allows D'Kacilius to Polymorph into a Giant Toad once per day.

Falgrim's Ring of Feather Falling: Given as equipment by the crew piloting one of Falgrim's airships. Acts as a normal Ring of Feather Falling, but is limited to 3 charges.

Important Rp Threads/Moments

"Threatening" Linden Rue

PCs involved: Linden Rue, Tristram Caniedydd, Delphi, Vadath

(Note: Originally intended to be banter, but then turned out to be a stupid idea)

Summary: Half-IC, half-OOC. A discussion in #greedy-general occurred about Session 49a. Linden talked about how she “deprived the quiet one (aka Silent) of yet another soul to nom…” literally after D’Kacilius bought the Sword of Vengeance. I thought it would be some fun banter and was “now tempted to stab [Linden] with this new sword [D’Kacilius] just bought” since I was “offended” by that statement. (Spoiler: Not fun banter. Threatening people day 1 = I will die.) Tristram began warning me of my actions, and Delphi jumped in to deter me, also warning that Linden was protected. Vadath showed up to ask if there was “another warlock threatening [his] guild mates”. Things dissipated after I asked how to learn more about the campaign.

TL; DR: Don’t do stupid things, like threatening someone with a shiny new sword you just bought.

Drang's Anti-Silent Outburst on the Streets ("To Worship or Not to Worship")

PCs involved: Drang, Feyjin Eldarhearth, Hugo Clarion, Tristram, Pot’tu (Showed up, but only silently observed)

Summary: Drang decided to talk smack against Silent, which pissed off D’Kacilius. Feyjin tried to lower the tensions between the two. However, D’Kacilius turned on Feyjin, since she mentioned how D’Kacilius’ “extreme zealotry” would not make him look favorable. He targeted Feyjin’s uncertainty in her faith, increasing the tensions between the two. Hugo interjected, asking D’Kacilius what stupid things he was doing. Drang, Feyjin and Hugo slowly cornered D’Kacilius into an alley, when Tristram also showed up. Tristram spoke of a “connection” between Silent and someone named Towie (aka The One Who Waits), and how he was happy that D’Kacilius was already ruining Silent’s reputation, making it easier for him to garner support for his Anti-Silent Campaign. Since D’Kacilius was in an obviously unfavorable position, he flew away in annoyance.

TL; DR: Religious talk soured relations between a couple of PCs and established that D’Kacilius is passively making way too many enemies.

D'Kacilius' Personal Stories

[insert text]

Random Info Dump (aka the "I-Hate-My-Life" Counter or “the XP Dump”)

-Has hilariously bad/sad luck for every session so far

• During the fight with Mother Peace, got hit by a double roll with disadvantage. The premodifier damage for said attack would have left D'Kacilius at exactly one hit point. Then James added the modifiers -_-
• Rolled a Nat 0 (Nat 1 with a -1 mod to Int) and determined that the Pradassis Mining Conglomerate is a front for the mob.
• One bugman was taken to very low health during the mining expedition. D'Kacilius swung at it twice- and left it at exactly one hit point.
• Apparently doesn't know what a "double j" is.
• During the Wovenstone escort, one Robocentaur overkilled D'Kacilius by one hit point.
• Rolled a Nat 0 (again), this time determining a giant mushroom with "roots" is actually a giant tree.
• Failed a Wisdom Save on Stollblossom Island and couldn't offer a Crown of Souls to Silent.
• First ever combat kill granted no souls.
• Failed all combat saving throws and got downed twice during an expedition into the Snowy Mountains.
• One attack during the Snowy Mountains was 42 damage when D'Kacilius was at 5 health.

-Sadly incompetent at killing (see above). Only "real" kill is an elk stag during a hunting session taken while preparing to enter the mine. EDIT: Finally got a kill (landing the killing blow for both phases of a boss), but no soul was claimed with the Sword of Vengeance :(

-Originally named “Kacilius”. The “D” was added afterwards when I learned that all Gem Dragonborn (Delphi and Durian) all had names that start with “D”. A “D” was added afterwards to follow the pattern, but the name is pronounced as if the “D” is silent. Also fits since D’Kacilius worships Silent and he has a “silent” letter

-Technically the third iteration of Kacilius. Kacilius is a "template character" that embodies my favorite things from D&D, so the character's race/class/background/personality has been used in other campaigns. The first version was killed by some ghouls who crit three times IN A ROW. The second version rolled a Nat 1 for a Dispel Magic- for a 9th level Imprisonment- and got sent to Pandemonium. There has a fourth version, who got screwed over by the party during the final session and got demoted from his original intended position. Hopefully D'Kacilius (Version 3) doesn't get screwed over any further. He's already suffering and so am I

-Considers himself the "Eyes and Ears" of Silent. I actively look through both the wiki and Discord (which is considered public information), so I catch nearly everything that happens IC and OOC. Consider yourself warned.
