'Revivicant'
[Revivicants try to bring things back to life by healing what killed them.]
Thanatos is your basic mortician. Black hair, gaunt, kind of sallow, a tendency towards sneers over smiles, and when he does smile...run. His eyes burn.
His first kill was before his third birthday. It was a rat. He'd cut them open, pull out the insides, clean the bones, and put it back in with strings to make puppets. He worked his way up from there -- cats, dogs, birds...his first human was around his 20th birthday. He stalked and killed one of the cooks, and then made the head chef add him to the stew. He still keeps the skull near his bed, to commemorate. (The first rat's skull is inside. Sometimes he picks it up and shakes it, finding the rattle comforting.)
As a revivicant, he's something of a prodigy. He just has a knack for controlling the minds of things that don't have them anymore. If he's in a hurry, he can do it quickly by using some of the bloodshaping basis; a couple drops of his blood is enough for a large rat, say. A little more can spot-animate him a cat, or dog, and even your basic human doesn't take too much. His blood is ...yucky. He's started plagues by donating to blood drives, and it does unfun things to weapons foolish enough to get it on them.
He has a small harem.
There are about 6..females in it.
Four women, two girls.
One of the girls is even still alive; he feeds her rats.
He keeps them on meathooks in his closet when not in use.
All six of them.
He's probably worked a bit with Manda, in her capacity as Lady High Executioner. Puts 'em to work after. ("No Rest For The Wicked." That's his motto.)
