Ulrich Jäger, also known as Azrael Rhadamanthys, is a mage from the 14th century who got reincarnated as a master of the undead and a lich king.

Appearance[]

Ulrich is a tall humanoid being with a grey skull-like face. However, the rest of his body is still very human-like, having a very muscular physique in the same color as the face. His eyes are an ominous purple. Due to being basically a buff skeleton, he has no hair.

In terms of clothes, Ulrich tends to vary from black large coats with belts and black pants, or a large black mage-like cloak. Sometimes, even, to make himself more presentable, he morphs his face to be more human-like.

Personality[]

Ulrich is a mysterious figure, shrouded in an aura of cunning and ominous intent. His motivations remain elusive, with no clear goal beyond his evident cruelty. He operates with a detached, almost mechanical precision, speaking in a deep and direct tone that leaves little room for negotiation. Ulrich’s offers are simple and stark: join him or face certain death. This ruthless approach underscores his cold, unfeeling nature, making it clear that he views human life as expendable. There is no warmth or persuasion in his demeanor, only the chilling finality of his decisions.

His knowledge is vast and profound, encompassing the hidden truths and secrets of the world. Ulrich often hints at possessing information that could shake the very foundations of society if revealed. This hidden knowledge gives him a formidable edge, allowing him to manipulate events and people with an almost prophetic insight. He holds a deep-seated belief in the inevitability of death, viewing it as the ultimate equalizer. This fatalistic perspective fuels his merciless actions, as he sees no point in delaying the inevitable demise of those who stand in his way.

In the face of equally cunning adversaries, Ulrich displays a sadistic pleasure in toying with their emotions. He targets their loved ones and cherished possessions, using their attachments as leverage to break their resolve. He enjoys the power he holds over others, deriving satisfaction from their suffering and despair. His ability to play on the vulnerabilities of his opponents makes him a particularly dangerous foe, capable of inflicting deep emotional wounds as easily as physical ones.

Despite his malevolent tendencies, Ulrich’s actions are driven by a clear, albeit twisted, logic. He sees the world in stark terms, devoid of the moral ambiguities that cloud the judgments of others. Believing that, there's no point of changing the inevitable. This clarity of purpose, combined with his extensive knowledge and unflinching ruthlessness, makes him a formidable and terrifying figure.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Undead Lord Physiology: Once a dark human mage, Ulrich was resurrected as a lich king, embodying the epitome of undead power. His transformation granted him vast dark magical abilities that far surpassed his mortal limits. As a lich king, Ulrich's body is sustained by necromantic energies, rendering him immune to the weaknesses of living beings. He commands legions of undead minions with absolute authority, manipulating them with a mere thought. His knowledge of forbidden spells and ancient rituals is unparalleled, allowing him to bend reality to his will.
    • Superhuman Strength: Ulrich possesses superhuman strength that rivals and even surpasses the mightiest of opponents. He can contend with the likes of an enraged Samuel clad in his formidable armor, Gabriel, and Nam-Hur, displaying strength beyond the grasp of mortal comprehension. His physical power is unmatched by any of DEMON's previous enemies, including the werewolf king Lycaon. Ulrich’s blows can shatter steel and crumble stone with ease, and his raw power allows him to dominate in direct confrontations, crushing his adversaries with overwhelming force.
    • Superhuman Speed: Ulrich's speed transcends the very boundaries of time itself, making him an entity that moves faster than the mortal eye can perceive. His movements are a blur, allowing him to appear and disappear in the blink of an eye. This extraordinary speed grants him a significant advantage in battle, enabling him to strike with unparalleled swiftness and evade attacks effortlessly. Ulrich can traverse vast distances in mere moments, making him an elusive and relentless pursuer. His speed is a testament to his supernatural nature, making him an almost unstoppable force on the battlefield.
      • Superhuman Reflexes: With reflexes honed to a supernatural degree, Ulrich can react to threats instantaneously. His heightened senses allow him to anticipate and counter attacks with incredible precision.
    • Invulnerability: Ulrich's invulnerability renders him nearly impervious to conventional harm. His lich form is sustained by powerful necromantic magic that protects him from physical and magical attacks alike. Blades shatter upon contact with his ethereal flesh, and spells dissipate harmlessly against his enchanted form. This resilience makes Ulrich an enduring presence on the battlefield, capable of withstanding assaults that would annihilate lesser beings. His invulnerability, coupled with his regenerative abilities, ensures that he remains a constant and unyielding threat to all who oppose him.
    • Superhuman Stamina: His stamina allows him to fight tirelessly without succumbing to fatigue. As an undead being, he is unbound by the physical limitations that plague living creatures. He can engage in prolonged battles, casting powerful spells and wielding his dark magic without ever weakening.
    • Superhuman Agility: Despite his formidable size and strength, Ulrich possesses superhuman agility that defies expectations. He moves with a grace and fluidity that belies his undead nature, able to dodge and weave through attacks with ease.
    • Immortality: Ulrich is unbound by the concept of time and death, granting him true immortality. As long as he retains his will to live, he cannot be permanently destroyed. Death-based attacks and powers are useless against him, as his soul is anchored to the necromantic energies that sustain him. This immortality makes Ulrich an eternal adversary, one who can return from any defeat and continue his quest for power and domination. His unyielding existence is a constant reminder of his dark magic's potency, and his presence on the battlefield is both a physical and psychological threat to all who oppose him.
      • Self-Sustenance: Being unbound by the concept of death, he can live indefinitely without needing anything besides magical energies and/or sustaining through the absorption of others' life-forces.
    • Regenerative Healing Factor: Ulrich’s regenerative healing factor is one of his most formidable abilities, allowing him to recover from even the most catastrophic injuries. His power to regenerate extends beyond mere physical wounds; it encompasses the restoration of his very essence. Even if his soul and mind are shattered into countless fragments, he can piece them back together through sheer will and necromantic energy.
    • Dark Arts: Ulrich is a master of the Dark Arts, wielding immeasurable power over the sinister aspects of magic. His command over dark magic is vast and profound, allowing him to perform spells and rituals that tap into the deepest and most malevolent forces of the universe. He can summon dark entities, cast powerful curses, and manipulate shadows to his advantage. His mastery of the Dark Arts grants him abilities that defy the natural order, enabling him to bend reality to his will and create chaos wherever he goes. Ulrich's dark powers are a testament to his deep understanding and connection to the malevolent energies that pervade the mystical realms.
      • Spell Casting: His spell-casting abilities are versatile and formidable, allowing him to perform a wide range of magical feats. He can conjure devastating bolts of dark energy, summon force-fields, and manipulate the elements to unleash catastrophic storms. His spells can bind and control enemies, trap souls, and create illusions that bewilder and terrify.
      • Death Manipulation: Ulrich possesses the uncanny ability to manipulate death itself, wielding power over life’s inevitable end. He can induce instant death in his enemies, causing them to wither and perish with a mere gesture. His control over death allows him to drain the life-force from living beings, hastening their demise and empowering himself in the process. Ulrich can also communicate with and control the spirits of the dead.
        • Necromancy: As a master necromancer, he has unparalleled control over the forces of death and decay. He can raise the dead from his graves, commanding legions of skeletons, zombies, and other undead creatures to do his bidding. His necromantic rituals can bind the souls of the deceased, trapping them in eternal servitude.
        • Death-Force Manipulation: Ulrich wields a unique and terrifying power known as Death-Force Manipulation. This ability allows him to control a fire-like force with conceptual properties related to death. He can unleash waves of this deadly energy to incinerate his enemies, leaving nothing but ashes in their wake. The Death-Force can also be used to create barriers and constructs imbued with the power of death, capable of eroding they touch.
          • Life-Force Manipulation: His mastery of life-force manipulation enables him to control the vital energies of living beings. He can siphon life-force from others, weakening them while simultaneously enhancing his own strength and vitality. This stolen life-force can be shaped into various forms, such as weapons or barriers, and can even be used to heal his own wounds. His control over life-force extends to the ability to transfer it between beings, prolonging life or hastening death at his discretion.
        • Psionics: Ulrich’s psionic abilities encompass a range of mental powers that make him a formidable psychic force. He can exert telekinesis to move objects with his mind, creating invisible hands that can manipulate the environment or crush his enemies. His telepathy allows him to read minds, communicate silently, and even control the thoughts and actions of others. His extrasensory perception grants him awareness of distant or hidden events, while his ability to project his astral form lets him explore the world unseen.
        • Undead Manipulation: His command over undead manipulation is both extensive and terrifying. He can summon and control various types of undead entities from history, calling forth ancient warriors, spectral apparitions, and monstrous abominations to serve him. His ability to animate and control the dead allows him to create armies of loyal minions, each one bound to his will. He can also imbue these undead with enhanced abilities, making them even more formidable in combat.

Abilities[]

  • Genius Intellect: Ulrich's genius intellect is one of his most defining characteristics, making him a formidable strategist and tactician. His mind operates on a level far beyond that of ordinary beings, allowing him to process and analyze vast amounts of information quickly. His deep understanding of various subjects, from ancient history and arcane lore to advanced science and technology, gives him an edge in almost any situation. He can devise complex plans and anticipate the moves of his adversaries with starting accuracy. This intellectual prowess also enables him to innovate and create powerful magical artifacts and potions, further enhancing his capabilities.
    • Magic Mastery: His mastery over magic is unparalleled, with a comprehensive understanding of both dark and elemental magics. His magical expertise covers a broad spectrum, including spellcasting, enchantments, rituals, and the creation of magical artifacts. He can weave spells with ease, harnessing the forces of nature and the arcane to achieve his goals. His deep knowledge of magical theory and practice allows him to counteract the spells of others, nullify enchantments, and break curses.
    • Occultism Mastery: Ulrich's expertise in occultism grants him access to forbidden knowledge and esoteric practices that are beyond the reach of most mortals. He is well-versed in the rituals, symbols, and languages of ancient and hidden traditions, allowing him to summon and control powerful entities, perform dark rites, and unlock the secrets of the universe. Ulrich's occult knowledge also includes an understanding of mystical dimensions, the nature of souls, and the mechanisms of life and death.
  • Master Combatant and Weapon Proficiency: Ulrich is not only a master of magic and the occult but also a highly skilled combatant with extensive weapon proficiency. His training and experience in combat have made him adept in various forms of martial arts and weaponry. Ulrich wields a vast arsenal of occult and demonic weapons, each one imbued with dark powers and deadly enchantments. He can seamlessly switch between different weapons, adapting to the flow of battle and exploiting his enemies' weaknesses. His combat skills are complemented by his strategic mind, allowing him to outmaneuver and outfight opponents who might rely solely on brute strength.

Weaknesses[]

  • Despite his immense power, Ulrich has a significant weakness to holy and divine magic. These forces, which are inherently opposite to his dark and necromantic energies, can cause him severe harm. Holy spells, blessed weapons, and artifacts imbued with divine power can bypass his invulnerability and regenerative abilities, inflicting lasting damage that is difficult for him to heal.

Weapons & Paraphernalia[]

  • Höllenschwert
    • Description: Höllenschwert is a demonic, inverted sword forged from the tormented souls of Ulrich's past opponents. This dark weapon pulses with malevolent energy, its blade emitting an eerie, ghostly glow. The screams and wails of the damned can be faintly heard emanating from it, adding to its terrifying presence. The sword's edge is incredibly sharp, capable of slicing through both physical and magical defenses with ease. Höllenschwert not only inflicts grievous wounds but also drains the life force of those it strikes, further empowering Ulrich with each kill.
  • Nachtzorn
    • Description: Nachtzorn is a pair of sinister gauntlets fused to Ulrich's body, serving as both weapons and his phylactery. These gauntlets are adorned with rings that possess control properties, allowing Ulrich to dominate the minds, souls, and concepts of time of those he ensnares. Victims find themselves trapped in a nightmarish prison within their own subconscious, while their physical forms become extensions of Ulrich's will. The gauntlets enhance his physical strength and durability, making him a formidable opponent in close combat.

Quotes[]

I offer you a choice, not a plea. Do not accept my offer? That's alright. But... (*summons his sword*) ... that's your ending.

Your fate is sealed the moment you defy me! And watch out, because I will make sure all of your pain will be eternal!

Secrets are the currency of the damned.

Do not mistake my offer for mercy, for I am incapable of such a sentiment. Your fate lies in your own hands, but know this: refusal means inevitable death, a swift end to your fleeting existence. Join me, and you might glimpse the power that lies beyond mortality. Resist, and you will become just another whisper in the annals of forgotten souls.
