"I've seen it! The end of this world! I've seen rivers of crimson blood and mountains of skulls! I will embrace it! I WILL!" -Malek, spouting madly as he swings wildly at Jardakk.

Malek was once a dutiful shaman of the Mucktail clan, but after a sudden and unfortunate midnight raid on his expedition camp for East Karana from Blightfire Moors, he was one of the many dozens who were captured and taken back to Direwind Cliffs in chains. A rather young individual of the clan, Malek stood no chance against the superior and unholy might that was the Direwind, utterly powerless to struggle against his attackers and slavers, forced to watch members of his own clan butchered and ripped apart before his very eyes. As he and the other captive survivors were taken to the very heart of the Direwind's territory, Malek had the unfortunate fate of being put directly into Cezia Brainstealer's 'care'. For several weeks, Malek experienced pain like never before in his young life, the subject and victim of Cezia's ceaseless and nightmarish torment. Bit-by-bit, Malek's mind was torn asunder, reduced to a rubble of its former self as Cezia so mercilessly had her sadistic pleasure from causing the young shaman so much anguish, Malek's screams of mercy and terror echoing in her ears like a beautiful chorus. Though Cezia could've simply 'converted' Malek to a mindless thrall within a day, the sadistic enchantress wanted to have her twisted sense of fun before finally dominating and controlling Malek's already-fragile and shattered mind. Now gifted with his own bloodied skull mask, this former shaman of the Mucktail clan now only revels in mindless slaughter and bloodshed for his Direwind masters and for Cezia, now nothing more than a shell of his former self. Whatever once remained of Malek in his brain is now long-gone, another victim under Cezia's wicked torment and cruelty. Only a clean and swift death can truly be the only gift anyone can give Malek now.

I know it's been a while since I posted any of my original models and content, going through an 'art dump' phase with what other people have made me. So to break the long silence, here is a quickie I made last night :) Leave a fav and a watch if you liked, and stay tuned!
