Shadow Blackheart

Shadow Blackheart was considered many things throughout his career: from a man, to a devil, a monster, and a God. Known as a Dark God, a Demonic Draconic Entity, a being without true form. It is both hard and unimaginable to pin Shadow down to any one thing as throughout his career he was always changing and mastering the arts of the world & beyond. A man who could conquer entire realities, a man who could command entire legions which if defined as singular entities themselves would comprise into legions. What he was was both infinite and finite at once, unmoving and unyielding yet always churning and ever evolving.   The head of the Blackheart Family and originally a being of a Demon World, Shadow rose to power over many decades. With his brethren and his family, he forged the Shadow Dominions- a group of people seen as conquerers to some and liberators to others. He was considered untouchable for centuries, and with his forces and power ever growing it more than easily kept many powers in line; though he never once abused this authority and power. He allowed for even those under his own wing to move undeterred, untouched, for while he was a protector and conquerer he was not a tyrant. The affairs of many of the mortals and demons were needless and pointless, yet at the same time ever valuable and to be observed.   Most, even his own family, do not know what he had prepared to take on. All of his power, all of his resources. Few if any aside from his closest family know of his true nature, and just as few know of what had happened to both him and his elite units and commanders. As of the year 44 A.H.F. Shadow has disappeared, claimed dead by many within even his own order; though the truth as with many things regarding him is unknown.   To this day- none know if he was truly mortal or 'demonic'. Many believe him otherwordly, a man who became a literal God.  

Appearance

Unknown. His appearance was always changing.  

Personality

His personality is, at best, hard to narrow down. He was always exploring the unknown, always considerate and caring and compassionate for his own. Always eager to aid his own and those in need, always willing to go the extra mile; yet his wrath would very easily be felt by the enemies who believed foolishly that they could challenge him. Even those able would be face the devil, whilst those who adored and honored him viewed him as a god. Ever so- to his family he was a father, a mentor, and a friend.     He was smart, calculating, creative. He was always eagerly working on new projects and exploring both the known and unknown. Research and creation was at the forefront of his mind just as much as his compassion and desire to help. Always desiring to face any and all challenges, unable to be matched in that determination.  

Abilities

Countless, uncalculable, always changing and trading and evolving.  

History

(Given that this could be written into an entire franchise, we won't even bother. It's 30+ years of contunous lore).
