[Suzerain of Sheol]

Okay, my submission for the second contest is ready. 'tis a villain, in case you can't tell. :p

Kehs'tel'estra



A false prophetess, nurtured by a fallen angel to bring about the death of an age. She suffered a harrowing loss when she was younger, which led to the awakening of the dreadful powers within her. Leading a rebellion against the corrupt theocracies and ecclesiarchies of the land, she traveled from village to village working false miracles, gathering followers to her cause and forging them into an army of fanatic murders. Her favorite ploy is send a terrible plague to a town, well ahead of her coming, and to arrive as a savior, healing the sick and raising the dead, enslaving people in their very hearts with a false vision of salvation. She affects a humble, contrite, and austere persona, with a spark of hidden passion just visible enough to entrance those who meet her, but beneath the facade, she is a cold void of sentiment, cruelly assessing and judging others, valuing them as nothing more than disposable implements for her machinations. She wields a khopesh carved from the petrified wood of the World Tree, and has used to it personally behead the greatest of her enemies, all to choruses of adulation from her enraptured followers.
