Name: Nicholas Kaylock
Appearance: (Credit: Couldn't find artist... Ignore the steampunk arm xD)
Age: Unknown (Appearance-wise: Forties/Early Fifties, though still very athletically capable)
Race: Human
Banner: Raven
Magic: Kaylock is capable of "creating" objects from his mind, though they always eventually fade away. This ability seems to additionally lend itself to the creation of "real" objects, such as things similar to the machinations of the dwarves, and some things unrecognizable and unusable to any but himself. The finest crafstmen and craftsdwarves have attempted to copy his methods, which he actively encourages. In some cases, they can replicate what he creates, but for some of the most outlandish inventions, they seem to work simply by some sort of strange magic all his own.
Along with these powers, Kaylock does not age. While he can be injured, and is seemingly capable of being killed, he does not seem to "catch" any illnesses, nor does he seem to be affected by any poisons. He also has the enhanced agility, strength, etc. of a typical Raven Knight. However, due to the extreme stress upon his mind, given that the human mind is not meant to handle several centuries of information, his memory (and mind) is fractured. For the most part, he keeps himself together, though he is occasionally prone to confusing memories, mixing up centuries-old events with current ones. For the most part, he can only accurately recall within 100 years, without assistance or some sort of reminder.
Weapon of Choice: A strange hand cannon which holds six bullets simultaneously (a revolver, though they wouldn't have a word for it), as well as a long sword. In addition, he has multiple other strange "gadgets."
Bio:
Kaylock has no recollection of when he was born. Assumedly, he would have to be born after the first known presence of magical people within the world. However, many suspect that he has lived longer, given that, according to the records of the Raven Council, he has been associated with the Raven Council since it's beginning, and even then, he was apparently long-lived. He has no memories of the founding days, given the state of his mind. By his own recollection, the last formal gathering of the Raven Knights he can recall was the gathering in 1648. Since then, he has wandered across the world, offering his services as a teacher to all those he views as promising. He has immense general knowledge of history and several languages, as well as immense mechanical and black-smithing ability, and passes on as much of this knowledge as he can to his various students, be they dwarves, elves, or humans.
He often drops by Raven's Grove, to see where his services are needed. Oftentimes, he is tasked with training new knights, or is sent to assist in areas where the local knight needs help. In addition, whenever his mind is... more dangerously inclined, he takes immediate measures to get to Raven's Grove as soon as possible. In the past, this was relatively rare, and his occasional episodes were handled by his young apprentice, Auriane, an elven woman. Last year though, Auriane died when a poison meant for Nicholas reached her lips instead. This rocked his already damaged mind, and his mind has steadily declined. In the past year, he has been to Raven's Grove three times, each because of his slipping mind. As of late, he seems to be recovering, though it is rumored by some that it won't be long before he completely loses control of reality....
