Dmitri

When dealing with the Syndicate, one will encounter very,
very strange individuals. While the Big 13 aren't social
butterfly's, one member does stand out from the rest. The
de-facto leader of the Syndicate, the Reaver, Dmitri.
His age is unknown and rather irrelevant, as he is stuck
within Eternity. Being a spiritual entity, Dmitri has distinct
personalty traits and abilities that make him not only
dangerous, but destructive. Insane, this God-to-be contains a
very, very special entity inside: Nihilus Arcaeus (Nile-us
Are-KAY-us), otherwise known as Azazel, the Fallen Seraph.
Dmitri was created specifically with the purpose of destroying
this entity, but his creators under estimated the cunning Seraph
and Dmitri escaped confinement and his fate. (All Reavers
consume life, they need it to exist. If a Reaver is unable to
feed, it will eventually devour itself. When Dmitri was "born"
or came into being, the burning one was sealed away within and
Dmitri was put under containment...doomed to starve and devour
Nihilus with him.)
After the initial meeting with Aevris, Church, and the one
called Grandfather; Dmitri came to the conclusion that the only
way he will be able to gain power and keep it, is to secure from
others who pose a threat. And thus, with the advice from
Grandfather and guidance from the Book, the Syndicate was born.
Aevris, Church, and Dmitri would form a trio of power known as
the Triumvirate.
However, the multiverse is a very frightening place indeed
with many different entities and factions all vying for control.
And now, with the Gates open, conquering has never easier. Many
factions are in a race to control Eternity, for whoever controls
the center of everything will be able to control the fate of all
life.
This power that Eternity emits, the potential it has, is a
key motivation for Dmitri. Controlling Eternity also secures a
way into any universe ever, so Dmitri runs no chance of starving
(jaunt into a universe, combined with Nihilus's power, Dmitri
can render entire universes lifeless). As Dmitri matures
throughout the story line, he encounters individuals who
continue to push him to his limits. Entities and Deities, Gods
and Daemons, Dmitri finds that fighting for a right to exist is
more difficult than anyone could imagine.
Basic Ability Overview:
Dmitri has the ability to consume the souls and energy of
other individuals (he can do this in many ways, but weaker
humans are absorbed as soon as the walk into Dmitri's presence).
He can store souls within him, using them later to regenerate
health, wounds, etc. Also, he is able to manifest these souls at
will. Because of his etheric properties, physical attacks and
weapons pass harmlessly through him.
Dmitri is a master magician, specializing in soul based
magicks. His main forms of attacks, actually, are magick based.
If he is forced into a confrontation that he is unable to keep
at a distance, Dmitri can manifest a part of his "soul" or being
and create the blade known as Leviathan (a sentient soul blade
whose tenacious desires are barely contained by it's master. It
is truly a blade of nightmares).
If Dmitri does get hurt, he is able to regen with the souls he
consumed. To others, this appears just as silver light crawling
over his "flesh". Also, when he is hit by an attack, dust will
explode out of the wound on the initial contact.
Basic Weakness:
Dmitri is easily one of the most powerful members in the
Syndicate, able to go toe-to-toe with Artifact wielders and
Champions alike. However, Dmitri's greatest strength is also his
greatest weakness. He is unstable after the amount of souls he
has consumed, and Nihilus desires to break free of his prison.
Also, relying on Nihilus causes fractures within Dmitri's
existence. Overall however, if Dmitri dies before Nihilus is
ready to break free, then he is killed too. It is within this
seraphs best interests to keep his unit alive for as long as
possible, and making his unit as powerful as possible.
Luckily, the Syndicate have a contingent policy in place to
deal with Nihilus. If it were ever to break free, then it would
have to fight through 12 (not counting Continuation), of the
most powerful individuals in Eternity.
Dmitri's greatest magickal weakness is, believe it or not,
Healing magick. Since Dmitri is literally Death (All Reavers are
Death, so this applies to them as well), healing and life magick
can hit him hard. The only way to heal himself is through the
death of others (consuming of souls and energy).
Any questions, feel free to ask! I did leave out the majority of
all important arc information and what not...but if someone
wants a spoiler, I can give it. :)
