Description UPDATED BIO: updated the character's look, changed some of his information, added Background, rewrote Abilities and Personality

Name: Karagos the Yellow
Age: over 900 years old
Gender: Male
Nationality: Unknown, possibly Asturian
Color: Yellow
Theme: Necron Theme (Dawn of War Winter Assault)

Background: Karagos hardly remembers much from when he was a child; to him, his life truly began when he sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for magic power, when he was already a young man. He remembers gathering with his fellow wizards and warlocks who had also bartered their souls away for a taste of the Devil's might, performing all sorts of spells and incantations together. He remembers conspiring with the other witches, using their wicked witchcraft to bring misery upon their enemies and to further their own goals. He remembers that, and much more, as fondly as one remembers their childhood memories. It's been centuries since the time of Karagos' youth, and during that time he has felt his power fade. Even if he performed as many dark spells as he could to prolong his life and his power, at the cost of much of who he was, eventually time started to catch up with him. Secluded in a tower almost as old as him, away from anyone and everyone, with his magic having nearly left his body completely, it would seem that the warlock would spend the rest of his days as a miserable and lonely old man. Until one fateful day, when a curious young boy entered his tower...

Abilities: Karagos is Soulbound to Vigo, meaning their souls are bound to one another. Both share the same body, but manifesting at different times, and they also share life forces, tapping into their combined strength. Because of their particular type of forced Soulbond (called Fetter) based on physical and mental force, he appears as a gauntlet worn by his Soulbound partner whenever he's dormant.
Thanks to this Soulbond, Karagos' soul has tapped into Vigo's plentiful youthful vitality, which has warped him into a tremendously tall, bulky and strong colossus. He is in fact so strong that he can crush bones with his own hands with ease. The few people who fought him and survived compare his blows to being hit by a train travelling at full speed. Due to his proportions, Karagos may not move very fast, but he's extremely resistant, being able to endure much more abuse than any normal human would ever hope to. Because of this he is often compared to a living, moving concrete wall. Despite already sporting formidable strenght when fighting unarmed, however, he usually prefers to conjure some of Vigo's strenght in the form of a bat, with which he can strike with enough power to reduce walls to rubble and his foes to a bloody mess.
Because of his old age, most of his original magic powers have left him, but he may still have a few of them left.
When Karagos has eventually worn himself out, he turns back to Vigo.

Personality: Karagos is not someone that one shouldn't fear. He's sadistic and cruel; whenever he appears, he brings great carnage and mayhem with pleasure, and he deliberately terrorizes his victims before finishing them, as if the fear his presence alone instills in the human heart wasn't enough.Whatever semblance he may have had of humane behavior disappeared when he bound his soul to Vigo's, since taking all of his newfound youthful vigor in at once has left him in a permanent state of high. Simply put, he's forever drunk with power. If he feels any pain from wounds or from being attacked, he doesn't usually show it. Despite appearances, one shouldn't take his altered state as that of a dumb brute; Karagos is quite cunning. He is also extremely arrogant: he couldn't care less for anyone around him or the current events, as it is all beneath him. There is only one thing he fears, which is losing his life along with his powers, and he will go to great lengths to prevent that from ever happening.

Ahhhhhhhhh.
This was supposed to have been uploaded yesterday, but I was hella busy, so here you have it. Good Lord, Karagos is freaking HUGE! In order to have his face in the picture I had to do alot of work. But anyway, not I'm done with this guy (for now) and the next ones will be much more appealing.

The Irony of dormant Vigo being Kar's left gauntlet while the latter is the right gauntlet of the former while dormant.  If applied to the religious concepts, Vigo would be the right hand of God, while Karagos would be the left one. Of course this is just me spitballing.

That's an interesting association, and actually it's not that far from the truth! When I was updating them, I was going to switch Vigo's handedness from sinister to dexter so he would wield his sword with his right hand and the Karagos gauntlet in his left, and also switching Karagos' handedness to keep mirroring his soulbound partner; but then I remembered that left-handed people were often seen as evil in ancient times and right-handed was the only "correct" way, so I decided to keep them the way they were as a sort of ironic inversion of that.

His head is so small...

Well, he is gigantic and bulky to an absurd extent. It wouldn't feel normal for him to have a proportionally big head.

It might look weird here, but when you see him next to the other characters you'll see how huge he is. I'm not kidding when I say I had to be clever to make him fit for his panel.
