Features obscured beneath the Crimson Mask from which He takes His name, | Features obscured beneath the '''Crimson Mask''' from which He takes His name, '''Fain''' gazes scornfully upon the common muck and rabble of mortality, choosing only the most able and ambitious to join His Masquerade. Born to the [[First Circle]] of the [[Elder God]]s, He was a leader and diplomat among His peers, and supervised the [[Fifth Circle]] in its endless pursuit of knowledge. Therefore He is a God favoured by the powerful, worshipped by generals, governors, and the [[Magnagora]]n aristocratic ruling elite, from whose ranks His Priesthood is predominantly constituted. Fain's motives are shrouded in secrecy, as secret as the visage which lurks behind His Mask, save that He views the [[Basin of Life]] as a vast chessboard, and mortals as pieces through which the great game of power is played. His immense hatred toward the [[elfen]] and [[merian]] race is well documented, but He also bears an enmity toward the race of [[kephera]], by whose machinations He was imprisoned within the [[Undervault]]. | ||

<tt>He is a radiant undead immortal and His eyes burn with an unflinching hatred and ruthlessness toward all manner of life. Standing taller than any mortal being could ever hope to rise, a seething demeanor of malevolent domination only adds to His monumental stature. Hidden behind a crimson mask, His features are undeterminable, not a single distinguishing feature escaping from the dark shroud that engulfs His form. The constant, jarring sensations of fear and pure suffering are the only reward to all those who manage to fall beneath His gaze.</tt> | |||

His mate was [[Lisaera]], of the [[Seventh Circle]]. As the Histories of the Elder Wars slowly are released, Fain is revealed to be the mastermind behind the [[Twelve Traitors]], a coterie of Elders who empower themselves with the [[excoroperditio]] energies of the [[Soulless God]]s. When discovered, Lisaera told [[Meridian]] and Fain was hurled into [[the Void]]. Fain's hate of Lisaera persists to this day. | ||
Fain has been seen since the beginning of the Modern Age, firmly seating himself in the tainted city of Magnagora alongside his fellow Traitor, Raezon. Stylised as "of the Red Masque", Fain reigned with an iron fist and drew many powerful adventurers to his fold. However, when [[Terentia]], the Even-Blade left for the Void in search of an artefact of great power, Fain followed in pursuit. | Fain has been seen since the beginning of the Modern Age, firmly seating himself in the tainted city of Magnagora alongside his fellow Traitor, Raezon.
