Aurelius The Undying
The foremost chosen of Kalatha. The most powerful theocrat the Vaelorian Ascendancy would ever know. A smear of gold and shadow, dancing cheek to cheek with death. Even reality feared to contradict his will. The destruction of his empire merely left him slumbering.

Mewling Pup, Dog At The Foot Of Your Betters(Magical)
Roll: 1Pieces of the room rip up into the air, telekinetically pelting you. Aurelius simply hovers, putting in no apparent effort. Make a Demanding Athletics check or suffer 2D4 Bludgeoning damage and 2D4 Arcane damage and suffer Bleeding (1) and fall Prone.
I Bring You Redeeming Death
Roll: 2Aurelius gestures and you feel your throat constrict. Suffer Bleeding (2). You may not prevent this.
Were I To Tolerate Your Weakness, I Would Be As Low As The Gods(Magical)
Roll: 3Aurelius weaves strange sigils in the air and thousands of bolts of diverse substances arc towards your position. Make a Demanding Athletics check or suffer 3D8 damage of a random type. If you are Vulnerable to any type of damage, the damage of this attack is a type you are Vulnerable to.
Instead I Scorch Your Flesh From The World(Physical)
Roll: 4With a gesture, Aurelius conjures a scythe made of shadow and gold. It catches fire as he strikes you. Your Combat Skill is treated as +10 against this attack. If this attack hits, you suffer 3D6 Fire damage and 3D6 Slashing damage.
A Blessing Written In Blood And Molten Gold
Roll: 5Aurelius snaps his fingers and blazes with power. You feel your blood resonating in response. Both you and Aurelius suffer Burning and deal +3D6 Fire damage on your next attack. You become Blinded until the end of your next Action. You may not prevent this.
The End Of Your Ideals, The Bane Of Your Breath, Amen
Roll: 6Aurelius begins chanting in a low voice. Every third time he performs this attack, make an Easy Endurance check. On a failure, you take damage equal to your current Health. You may prevent this by sacrificing an ally (make a Hard Reason check unless you have control over them).
