Vortimus Ainstein

Vortimus Ainstein is one of the Trinity Members of the Cult of Obsidian and the uncle of Asta Iorana. He is the current head of the Ainstein family and is one of the antagonists of Shardsverse. He is known as the Devourer of Magic due to his ability to absorb magical attacks that are sent at him.

History
Vortimus was born the second son of the Ainstein Family and the younger brother of Asta's father. He went to Illias Academy as opposed to his brother who went to Lexida. During the war between Skywatch and the Church of Aurba, Vortimus was one of the soldiers who sided with the Church of Aurba if nothing more than to maintain his standing in society. After the war, Vortimus returned to the Ainstein Estate with his tail between his legs.

Sometime later, he was approached by Taran Estus who easily defeated him and Vortimus pledged his loyalty to Taran after the man promised him more power. With that Vortimus joined the Cult of Obsidian and shortly after, he murdered his brother and his wife. Practicing human supremacy, Vortimus banished Asta due to her Fae heritage and began to use his political influence to manipulate Etherian Politics as well as the Mage's Association. However, his efforts there were thwarted when the Neo Skywatch overthrew the Old Council and instilled a new one in its place. Nevertheless. Vortimus still holds power within Etheria as one of its most powerful political leaders with the backing of various humans in various nations.

Appearance
Vortimus is a tall man with extremely pale skin. He has shoulder-length white hair and wears black robes. His eyes are golden and is often covered by a gold mask with a crown of five horns. Vortimus is always seen holding a staff. Another distinct feature of Vortimus is the fact that he always has an air of superiority around him.

Personality
Vortimus is arrogant, cruel, deceitful, and selfish. Vortimus will do anything to achieve his goals no matter how many people have to die in the pursuit of those goals. This is best seen when Vortimus slaughters his brother's supporters and then torturing and murdering him and his brother's wife just to gain the position of the head of the Ainstein Family. He uses this position to torment all nonhumans within the country of Aurba and subtly manipulates the other nobility and higher-ups.

In public, Vortimus maintains an image of kind and wise mage which people look up to. People call him an understanding man who knows the problems of the human race. Vortimus is also a human supremacist and is extremely racist against the other races such as Elves, Fae, Dragonborn, and Orcs. It is this image coupled with his beliefs that has gained him the support of his followers.

Primal Transcendence
An elevated state of being that can only be obtained by powerful mages. Transcendence allows them to "transcend" their limits bolstering their magical and physical powers, boosting their strength, speed, and defense up to twenty times the norm. This allows mages to fight on par with beings much stronger than they are. Vortimus has a mutated version of Transcendence known as Primal Transcendence which boosts his power more than a normal Transcendence.
