Acrillico the Black

Summary
This OC was created by TheRetronomer. Acrillico belongs in the Firebrand universe, as the main antagonist of the first (upcoming) novel written by TheRetronomer. He is a warlock with nigh immeasurable power, granted to him by the Demon King. His nemesis is Typhus Winterleaf, the chosen hero of Nierma.

Background
Before he was granted his power, Acrillico was known as Acrill Zantima, a slave to King Bertrand of Southmoor, working on the farms of Juniper Town. Living a poor but healthy life, he was sheltered from the horrors of the outside world during the Elvish Purge.

That is, until Emperor Erthcrow, the self-proclaimed 'King' of Nierma, rode into Juniper Town demanded fealty from Bertrand. Not willing to give up his seat as king, Erthcrow waged war against him. Acrill was forced to fight the Emperor's forces, carrying the banner of Juniper. Weak and unskilled in swordplay, he was killed when a spearman drove his pike through his stomach and hoisted the boy up into the air, in a manner similar to crucifixion. As the blazing sun of the grassland beat down on him and the buzzards picked at his flesh, Acrill forced himself to stay alive for three days and four nights.
