The Unnamed (Skulduggery Pleasant)

The Unnamed is a tall, slender man that towers over most people. His hair is long and white, his facial features are long, sharp and elven-like. His skin is ghostly pale and he has narrow, silver eyes. He wears elegant, black clothes with silver ornaments. A crown of black, jagged metal floats above his head.

He is a cruel and selfish man, but also intelligent, manipulative and cunning. He is ancient. He speaks in a soft voice that he rarely raises He is the descendant of the Faceless Ones, a dark and cruel race of gods that used to rule the earth. He does not want the Faceless Ones to return since they had their chance and it's his time to rule now. He calls the earth the Darklands and views himself as their rightful king. Eons ago a witch told him a prophecy that the Obsidian Blade could kill him and that he would be immortal should he manage to destroy it. The Obsidian Blade is the only thing he is afraid of. The possibilities for his magic are unlimited, but he likes using his black fire the most. He was killed by Mevolent, his most trusted student, with the Obsidian Blade and centuries later resurrected by his daughter, Abyssinia, in Caissons's, his grandson's, body. He hates Mevolent for killing him and his family after he had raised and trained him. He killed his own sons so they could not usurp him. He loves magic and believes only the strong deserve magic. He dislikes mortals, he views them as lesser because they can't use magic.
