Current Description:
PRE 1996:
Deamhan is a slightly scruffy-looking half-elf...though you might well ask what the other half is...his teeth seem to be a bit more, umm, pointed than is the norm among half-elves. His eyes, too, are a bit unusual, being a deep red, slightly glowing color. On the whole, he seems a rather nice, harmless young half-elf, though his habit of muttering, "Blood! Blood!" from time to time can be a bit disconcerting.
Wedding Description: 3/20/99
A tall, slender half-elven form stands before you. It is unexpectedly difficult to make out details; shadows seem to cling to him oddly where there should be light. After a moment, his attention shifts to you. He murmurs something softly and the shadows fall away. His form is that of a young man in his prime, but his night-dark eyes are far older, and assess you calmly. He bows courteously, with a slight smile, and you catch a glimpse of the fangs that explain how one who has seen so much can appear so young. Khore must have taken this one early. A slight radiance shimmers on his skin, as if the blood in his veins were strangely radiant. It takes a moment, but comprehension follows; the sinuous traceries mark him as one Destined within the Pattern. He glances beyond you for an instant, and mutters another word. The Darkness slithers over him again. Apparently he has decided you have seen enough.
Deamhan is in perfect health.

But there is more: on his hands, the glow is brighter, glimmering silver-tinted, and seems to be moving...some sort of tattoo, you think...He glances beyond you for an instant, and mutters another word. The Darkness slithers over him again. You have seen enough.

Character History:
Deamhan and his brother, Diabhail, are the children of Magda of the Half-Elf Camp and Vil, Prince of the Demon Realm. Khore Embraced the two at a fairly young age, and Diabhail gave himself wholly over to blood lust, leaving civilized ways far behind. Deamhan stayed in the Kindred, loyal until its bitterest end. It was during this time that he met Cordir, a young mage. The two had a friendship and mild flirtation for years, then decades. After she was able to depart the Black Conclave, the two finally acknowledged the bond that had been growing during that time. Through manipulation of the Pattern itself, they were able to conceive a child together: Mireya. Shortly after Mireya's birth, however, Deamhan was captured by his father, hidden away, and tortured. Cordir sought him out, and with the direct assistance of the Triat and the self-sacrifice of a dear friend, they were able to break the spell of bloodlust binding the vampire. After he had healed, Cordir sought his aid in completing a Trial of Triat Mastery, and regained her lost mage-skills. The two were wed by Thaygar shortly after her Ascension to Immortality. The two remained faithfully wed for centuries, with Deamhan serving as a Priest within the Chosen of Fate. The two raised their daughter to young adulthood, and then the price had to be paid for the magics it had cost to birth her: Deamhan faded away into the mist.
Trivia:
- Deamhan was one of the faithful who was retained by Khore, past the Purging of the Kindred.
- Deamhan is mentioned in all of the versions of the Chosen of Fate temple, in the Silver thread.
