Darkovis

A general of reknown in life, legend says that Darkovis helped lead in the great War of the Riders. A leader of the russk, Darkovis's men turned the tide of battle from the Empire of Heaven to the Alliance, allowing a team the time needed to assassinate the Emperor and end the battle. He was then betrayed by the very people he and his soldiers had just saved, and was slain in his sleep, his corpse unceremoniously tossed into a gorge. He sank to the bottom of a river, where his soul was stolen by the Deos Descati. He was transformed into a mindless beast of raw strength, manlike but for a dragonish face and metalic scales that coated his body, a giant who uses trees as clubs. The field where he was slain sleeping has transformed into a mighty forest over the years, filled with dangerous beasts and legends of horror. It is now named Darkova, and it is the place where he may be summoned with least effort. His only recorded weakness is his eyes.
