'''Appearance:''' Galchombhar is an elegant youth with skin as pale as milk and hair as dark as a raven's wing. He is lean, almost emaciated, and tall for any era and whether strolling through a room or slouching insolently, he does so with a predatory grace. Although his couture will change with the passing eras, he basic look, that of a young man barely out of his teens will remain fresh with the application of an ocean of human blood applied one night at a time. One glance into his eyes reveals his true nature, for when roused they burn with the cold light of Oblivion and a hunger for blood and human death that will never be satisfied.

'''Behavior:''' Galchombhar is a nightmare born fresh from oblivion. A monster given human form without ever having been human at all and given character by someone's recollections of a long lost companion. He is a paradox even unto himself, but he sees the world with a newborn's eyes and takes wonder in the simplest and most horrific things. Without human ethics, this creature needs stability in the chaos of darkness and finds it in an obscure code that keeps madness at bay. A newborn child of the night, his passions are as explosive and raw as his hunger is nearly uncontrollable, and he is filled with the rage and arrogance of the new immortal. But, he was crafted with purpose and obeys his design regardless of his meditations upon his origin or purpose.

'''History:'''
+
'''History:''' Galchobhar was born the moment the Oneiroi hero Morpheus stepped bodily into the Sea of Dreams. Morpheus alone and in<br>
 +
terrible pain cried out to any who could hear to help him and his brothers Phobetor and Phantasos answered. Between them they crafted<br>
 +
a dream-realm as a cradle from which Morpheus would be shielded against further injury or godly death. This dread-land provided<br>
 +
ample distraction for a critically wounded Morpheus while allowing him heal. Galchobhar was born to serve as an escape clause for<br>
 +
the eternally distractable god of dreams and initially he served as his maker's sense of realism in a world of dark fantasy. Then<br>
 +
as Morpheus played out the game designed by his brothers he unleashed his divine power forever altering his cradle and giving some<br>
 +
of its characters consciousness and freewill. Unbeknownst to Morpheus another entity had followed him through into his dream-womb<br>
 +
and there it lay silent and watchful until Morpheus' display of power. What inspired the foreign entity to act may never be known,<br>
 +
but in that moment the entity reached forth and in imitation of Morpheus granted Galchobhar self-awareness and freedom of will. But<br>
 +
unlike the other phantasms of Morpheus' dream-realm the entity breathed a tiny bit of its divine essence into the phantasm turning it<br>
 +
into a living nightmare. From that moment forward, Galchobhar's actions and thoughts were his own, but his destiny was forever tied<br>
 +
to the entity and to Morpheus. In passing through the Gate of Transparent Horn, Galchobhar took on physical form and supernatural<br>
 +
substance, whether like all phantasms he will dissolve with the coming of daybreak is a question as yet unanswered. One thing is for<br>
 +
certain, he is an entirely new order of being capable of every emotion found in mankind, but reflected in a mirror darkly.<br>

'''Recent Events:'''

'''Recent Events:''' Galchobhar accompanied Morpheus to Pohjola through the gateway from Barovia. Since that time he has associated<br>
 +
with Lady Mors and some of the local personalities. He struck a deal to aid Lady Mors in saving the life of a woman of the  Meren Ihmiset,<br>
 +
Sanni Lahti, a woman who had been marked by the faithful of Ahto and left in the custody of one Max Harmaajärvi. Max is an undead of<br>
 +
shadowy nature and now Galchobhar is bound by his oath to slay a local hunter Hilma Seppä and return with her head as proof of payment.<br>
 +
 
 +
Most recently he has accompanied Morpheus to Imperial Rome of 9AD and finds himself in the greatest metropolis on Earth. Lady Mors acts as his mentor<br>
 +
and seeks to educate the new vampire to her tastes. Galchobhar's relationship to Morpheus remains unchanged, but he must now contend with<br>
 +
the rest of the divine band and adapt to the Roman night and its many denizens and all while learning about his own brand of undeath.<br>

Roma ~SPQR~ UNDEAD ~SPQR~ MADRA DHU ~SPQR ~ Monstrorum Misericordia

Vampyre Galchobhar.jpg

Invocation: "That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die."

Appearance: Galchombhar is an elegant youth with skin as pale as milk and hair as dark as a raven's wing.
He is lean, almost emaciated, and tall for any era and whether strolling through a room or slouching insolently,
he does so with a predatory grace. Although his couture will change with the passing eras, he basic look, that of a
young man barely out of his teens will remain fresh with the application of an ocean of human blood applied one night
at a time. One glance into his eyes reveals his true nature, for when roused they burn with a cold and hungry light
and a thirst for blood and human death that will never be satisfied.

Behavior: Galchombhar is a nightmare born fresh from the Dreaming. A monster given human form without ever having
been human at all and given character by someone's recollections of a long lost companion. He is a paradox even unto himself,
but he sees the world with a newborn's eyes and takes wonder in the simplest and most horrific things. Without human ethics,
this creature needs stability in the chaos of darkness and finds it in an obscure code that keeps madness at bay. A newborn child
of the night, his passions are as explosive and raw as his hunger is nearly uncontrollable, and he is filled with the rage and
arrogance of the new immortal.

History: Galchobhar was born the moment the Oneiroi hero Morpheus stepped bodily into the Sea of Dreams. Morpheus alone and in
terrible pain cried out to any who could hear to help him and his brothers Phobetor and Phantasos answered. Between them they crafted
a dream-realm as a cradle from which Morpheus would be shielded against further injury or godly death. This dread-land provided
ample distraction for a critically wounded Morpheus while allowing him heal. Galchobhar was born to serve as an escape clause for
the eternally distractable god of dreams and initially he served as his maker's sense of realism in a world of dark fantasy. Then
as Morpheus played out the game designed by his brothers he unleashed his divine power forever altering his cradle and giving some
of its characters consciousness and freewill. Unbeknownst to Morpheus another entity had followed him through into his dream-womb
and there it lay silent and watchful until Morpheus' display of power. What inspired the foreign entity to act may never be known,
but in that moment the entity reached forth and in imitation of Morpheus granted Galchobhar self-awareness and freedom of will. But
unlike the other phantasms of Morpheus' dream-realm the entity breathed a tiny bit of its divine essence into the phantasm turning it
into a living nightmare. From that moment forward, Galchobhar's actions and thoughts were his own, but his destiny was forever tied
to the entity and to Morpheus. In passing through the Gate of Transparent Horn, Galchobhar took on physical form and supernatural
substance, whether like all phantasms he will dissolve with the coming of daybreak is a question as yet unanswered. One thing is for
certain, he is an entirely new order of being capable of every emotion found in mankind, but reflected in a mirror darkly.

Recent Events: Galchobhar accompanied Morpheus to Pohjola through the gateway from Barovia. Since that time he has associated
with Lady Mors and some of the local personalities. He struck a deal to aid Lady Mors in saving the life of a woman of the Meren Ihmiset,
Sanni Lahti, a woman who had been marked by the faithful of Ahto and left in the custody of one Max Harmaajärvi. Max is an undead of
shadowy nature and now Galchobhar is bound by his oath to slay a local hunter Hilma Seppä and return with her head as proof of payment.

Most recently he has accompanied Morpheus to Imperial Rome of 9AD and finds himself in the greatest metropolis on Earth. Lady Mors acts as his mentor
and seeks to educate the new vampire to her tastes. Galchobhar's relationship to Morpheus remains unchanged, but he must now contend with
the rest of the divine band and adapt to the Roman night and its many denizens and all while learning about his own brand of undeath.
