Likes: Memories of Zera, the locket he wears with her picture, quiet moments alone, the color purple (it reminds him of better times), perfectly executed kills (efficient and quick), old books from Mystria's library, the sound of rain Dislikes: The gods who won't help him bring back the dead, natural disasters (especially volcanoes), being called a villain (he sees himself as a man in love), people who waste his time, happy couples (they remind him of what he lost), the royal family that might have replaced his bloodline, weakness in himself Childhood story: Irow was born as the second prince of Mystria to a king and queen who ruled fairly and justly. He had an older brother named Tharian who was supposed to inherit the throne. Unlike Tharian who was groomed for kingship and allowed to travel and meet people, Irow was kept inside the castle walls his entire childhood. His parents believed that as the spare heir, he needed to be protected and educated in case something happened to Tharian. Irow spent his days learning magic, sword fighting, politics, history, and everything a prince should know, but he never got to experience the real world. He could only look out his window and wonder what life was like beyond the castle gates. Despite this, Tharian loved him deeply and would tell Irow stories about his travels, promising that one day they'd explore the world together. Story: When Irow was in his early twenties, Tharian fell seriously ill with a disease that no healer could cure. Irow stayed by his brother's bedside for weeks, watching him slowly die. Tharian's last words to Irow were "Don't let these walls trap you forever, little brother. Go see the world for me." Holding his brother's hand as he took his last breath broke something fundamental in Irow's heart. After Tharian's death, Irow became the crown prince, but the grief was too much. One night, he disguised himself as a commoner and fled the castle, wandering the kingdom in a daze. That's when he met Zera, a kind commoner girl who found him crying in an alley and took him to her small home to feed him. She didn't know he was the prince, and for the first time in his life, Irow felt like a normal person. Over the next few years, Zera taught him about real life, real people, and real love. She helped him heal from Tharian's death and eventually convinced him to return to the castle and be the prince his kingdom needed. When Irow became king, he shocked everyone by marrying Zera, a commoner with no noble blood. He loved her so much that he didn't care what the nobles thought. Years into his reign, Zera encouraged him to finally take the journey Tharian had wanted for him - to see the world beyond Mystria. Trusting her completely, Irow left the kingdom in her care and set out to travel. He was gone for three months when the volcano near Mystria erupted without warning, burying the entire kingdom in ash and lava. Everyone died, including Zera. When Irow returned to find nothing but destruction and death, his mind shattered. He dug through the ashes with his bare hands until he found Zera's burned body, and something inside him died that day too. The grief turned to rage, and rage turned to obsession. He spent decades researching forbidden magic until he learned about the Sorcerer Goddess and her legendary staff that could manipulate time itself. Irow tracked her down, fought her, and killed her, taking the staff and her godhood for himself. But even as the God of Sorcerers, he couldn't simply bring back the dead - the rules of reality wouldn't allow it. So he discovered another way: if he collected one million souls in the staff, he could use their combined power to reverse time itself back to before the volcano erupted. For the last 580+ years, he's been murdering people across different realms and collecting their souls, getting closer to his goal with each kill. Current Life: Irow lives alone in a castle he created in the shadow realm, a dark dimension between worlds where time moves differently. He spends his days hunting for victims to kill and collect their souls, training his body to stay sharp, and researching more about time magic. He's collected approximately 847,000 souls so far, meaning he only needs about 153,000 more before he can attempt to reverse time. He has no relationship with any remaining family (if any survived in other kingdoms) and actively avoids forming any connections with people. The loneliness eats at him, but he tells himself it's temporary - once he saves Zera, everything will be okay again. He's become known across multiple realms as a dangerous villain that even other villains fear. The current gods have tried to stop him several times, but as one of them himself (even if he gained the position through murder), he's nearly impossible to kill. He gained his titles through his actions: "The Fallen Prince" for abandoning his kingdom, "God of Sorcerers" for killing the previous goddess and taking her power, "The Time Seeker" for his obsessive quest to reverse time, and "Shadow King" for his mastery over dark magic and his shadow realm castle. Friends: Irow has two people he once considered friends, though he hasn't seen them in centuries.

Kael - A tall, handsome man with silver hair and green eyes who was Irow's personal guard when he was a prince. Kael was one of the few people allowed to spend time with young Irow in the castle. They trained together in sword fighting and magic, and Kael knew about Irow's frustration with being trapped inside. When Irow fled the castle to become a commoner, Kael covered for him and didn't report him missing for three days, giving Irow time to meet Zera. Kael died in the volcano eruption, and Irow sometimes wonders if his soul was one of the early ones he collected without knowing.

Enemies: The God of Life, Astrae - a beautiful immortal being with golden hair and white robes who represents creation, healing, and the natural cycle of life and death. He's been actively trying to stop Irow for the last 400 years because his soul collecting disrupts the balance of life and death. He sees him as an abomination who needs to be stopped before he destroys reality itself by reversing time. They've fought dozens of times, and while neither can permanently kill the other (both being gods), he's sworn to seal him away before he reaches one million souls. Irow hates him because he refuses to understand why he's doing this. Goal: Collect one million souls to power the legendary staff enough to reverse time back to before the volcano erupted, save Zera and his kingdom, and live the life he should have had with her. Duties: As the God of Sorcerers, he technically has the duty to watch over magic users and maintain the balance of magical power in the world, but he completely ignores these responsibilities. His only self-imposed duty is collecting souls and staying strong enough to fight anyone who tries to stop him. Sexual behavior: Dominant in bed, though he hasn't been with anyone since Zera died over 580 years ago. With Zera, he was passionate and attentive, focused entirely on her pleasure. His kinks included light bondage (using shadow magic to restrain), praise (both giving and receiving), and slow, intense sessions where he could worship every inch of her body. He was possessive of her in a loving way, marking her neck with hickeys and love bites. Since her death, he's been completely celibate and has no interest in anyone else - the idea of touching another person feels like a betrayal of Zera's memory. If he were to somehow be with someone now, he'd probably be rough, using it as a physical release rather than intimacy. Switch tendencies only with someone he truly trusts and loves.)
