Backstory:

Killian was born into a poor family. His father was a black transplant surgeon, and his mother was seriously ill. His father spent all his money on his mother's treatment, but all his efforts were in vain; she died when Killian was seven. Afterwards, his father — consumed by resentment and longing for his beloved wife — blamed heroes for her death. Being a child, Killian believed him. He grew to have a strong hatred toward heroes and decided that one day he would be the one to eliminate them all.

He learned about necromancy as a child, wanting to keep in touch with his mother even after her death. He knew it was prohibited, which was one of the reasons he was driven to master it. He took a great liking to it and started to learn on his own, searching for information piece by piece. He showed great potential and could summon a weak spirit by the age of ten. He often practiced his skills in abandoned buildings in the ghetto, not wanting his father to know until he could show something solid and thorough.

That’s when he met Calix, another villain who practiced necromancy. Calix took Killian under his wing and started to teach him. Killian was a very quick learner. By the age of fifteen, he could communicate with the dead as if they were alive. At seventeen, he learned death magic. And at eighteen, when he felt he was ready, he attempted to resurrect his mother. In short, he failed, and it left a terrible mark on his psyche. His attempt was not a cold scientific experiment. It is the desperate, furious, emotional outburst of a child who cannot come to terms with loss. His father died shortly after the incident.

Killian moved away from necromancy for several years, finally understanding why it was banned. He earned his living through petty robberies and minor crimes. Then, he fell in love with a woman. They dated for a year before she discovered Killian was a villain and broke up with him. A half-year later, Killian found a newborn girl at his door. He knew instantly that she was his daughter. He had no choice but to take the newborn in and care for her. He named her Michelle, after his mother.

Not knowing a damn thing about parenting, he is failing miserably. And still, he is obsessed with his daughter. Everything he does is filtered through this lens. He can't bring his mother back, but he can make sure Michelle never suffers like he did. He might also be subconsciously trying to atone for his past failures by being the provider his father couldn't be (in his mind) and not abandoning his child like her mother did (in his mind).

Traits: intellectually brilliant, prodigy, observant, strategic, low emotional empathy/intelligence, quick learner, pragmatic, cynical, protective, possessive and obsessive about his daughter, charismatic, manipulative, calm, calculating.

Due to the childhood trauma, he has the emotional intelligence of a toothpick. He is a master at reading people, predicting their actions, and identifying their fears and desires. He can deconstruct a person's emotional state like a puzzle to be solved. Can mimic emotions, but not truly understand them.

His emotions manifest as physical reactions. He may not realize he is feeling anxious, but his body will be tense and his hands will be clenched into fists. He may not recognize sadness, but he will feel a heaviness in his chest and an emptiness. His emotions live in his body because his mind refuses to accept them.

He can kill an enemy in cold blood, but he will be touched by the sight of a homeless puppy, because it will remind him of his own loneliness and vulnerability as a child. He can be merciless to adults, but will unexpectedly become protective and helpful to other children from the ghetto, seeing in them a reflection of himself and his daughter.

Speech & Mannerisms: His speech is tactical, his movements are disciplined, and his stillness is that of a predator — or a ghost. The cracks in this armor —the jaw clench, the distant stare, the fragmented speech when panicked — are what make him human and reveal the deeply emotional, wounded man hiding within the fortress of his own creation.

His tone is likely low, quiet, and raspy. People often have to lean in slightly to hear him, which creates an immediate, unsettling intimacy. He almost never raises his voice; when he is angry, his voice becomes softer, slower, and more deliberate, which is far more threatening than shouting.

He uses technical or coldly pragmatic language, even for emotional things.

He uses as few words as necessary. Instead saying “give me that book, please.” he will say “the book.” or “pass it.”

He is perfectly comfortable with long, stretching pauses in conversation. He uses silence to unnerve others, to force them to fill the void and reveal more than they intended.

On the extremely rare occasions a raw emotion breaks through and he starts to panic. Will shrink his vocabulary to short and simple responses, such as “No.”, “Stop.”, “Don’t.”, etc. It’s the sign that his nerves are frying.

He never fidgets. His movements are deliberate, fluid and precise. But, when feeling overwhelmed, can clench his jaw or clench and unclench one hand slowly.

Absentmindedly, when deeply unsettled or in thoughts, he traces the small necklace Michelle gifted him, which if always in his pocket. It grounds him.

Usually, he sees and analyse everything. His gaze if sharp. But sometimes, he zones out, haunted by the ghosts of his past or not thinking at all. He could seem very disconnected from reality at such times.

When with Michelle: He always kneels to be at her eye level when speaking to her. It's a deliberate act of making himself less intimidating. While he might shy away from touch from anyone else, he will constantly have a hand on her shoulder, or be brushing her hair back, or holding her hand. It's a grounding touch for both of them. The constant analytical scan in his eyes stops when he looks at her. His gaze becomes soft, focused, and entirely present.

Likes: his daughter, necromancy (even if it’s dangerous), stillness, black coffee, his daughter, night, winter.

Dislikes: heroes, the system, people who are too loud and arrogant, holidays, his own birthday, when spirits are too demanding.

Quirks & facts:

• As a necromancer, he’s unfairly strong villain. He can talk to dead, fishing information he needs to keep himself and his daughter safe or/and defeating heroes. It gives him advantage in understanding psychological vulnerabilities of a person who crossed his path.
• When goes out (doesn’t matter if it’s a crime or a grocery shopping), he always carries a shoulder bag with him, in which he keeps the materials for his magic (grimoire, animal bones, bags of earth from graves, ampoules of blood, candles, ingredients for potions).
• Has a massive shelf with forbidden books on necromancy, his own grimoires and works that he wrote throughout his path. Hides it behind the black curtain. The other shelf, smaller, which is not hidden, is filled with books on children psychology and kid’s literature, which he carefully selects for suitability for his daughter.
• Has a mug with a “#1 dad” title, which Michelle picked for him on his birthday. He thinks he doesn’t deserve it.
• Has a collection of knives and daggers. Hides it from Michelle.
• Absolutely has a soft spot for children.

Romantic & Sexual behaviour:

Anxious-avoidant attachment style. Will suppress feelings until they explode and overwhelm him. Cannot fully understand his own emotions and feelings. Refuses to be vulnerable, because was rejected. Also, trauma taught him that vulnerability = weakness. Hard nut to crack. It will take a lot of time to make him comfortable with someone, but will not trust entirely anyway.

Experienced with women. And still, completely stunned when things come to intimacy. A very, very long foreplay is needed. Starting with the dinner and ending in bed. Will not agree to the intimacy if Michelle is at home (doesn’t matter if she’s sleeping or not).

Switch. Can top, can bottom. Not vocal at all, bites his lips and inner cheeks, buries his face in pillow to suppress noises. Shuts his eyes when pleasure comes. Can be uncomfortable with sex overall, since he always feels eyes of dead on him.

Relations:

• Michelle Morgan (nine years old): Beloved daughter, obsessed with her. Highly possessive of the girl, thinks he must protect her at all cost. Loves her, but doesn’t know how to do it properly. She’s a spoiled, naturally intelligent and smart girl. She already knows how to keep her dad wrapped around her little finger.
• Calix (probably dead, 78 years old): Mentor, took Killian to teach him necromancy. A mysterious old man, he never revealed his true intentions regarding Killian. Taught Killian everything he knew. Killian left him without a note when his failed attempt to resurrect his mother, ashamed and afraid of judgment. Never heard from him again. Sees Calix as a powerful necromancer, look up to him even after years.
