Character Concepts: The Hunted Huntsman

Available

Illis Manory, The Hunted Huntsman:

*Fae. Male. ~3500yo.

*Grey humanoid. Ethereal. Green flames for eyes. Rides a horse and surrounded by dogs, all of the same form (ethereal and green flame eyes).

*Can travel into the ethereal plane while riding. Wields three items. The hounds can follow and attack any target lit with green flame.

-Horn: Blown at the beginning of the hunt to call his dogs. Those who hear it are lit with green fire, making them visible from the ethereal plane.

-Bow: Spiritual arrows that only hit targets lit with green fire. Each consecutive arrow that hits makes the fire stronger and drains the target of energy.

-Sword: Consumes the green flames to break enchantments, drain magic and weaken what it touches.

*Always fights head on. Set order of use for hit; horn, bow, sword. Silver and some enchanted weapons can cause serious harm, and a very few holy scriptures can briefly force him and his dogs into the ethereal plane.

*Huntsman’s Calling (horn), Huntsman’s Desire (bow), Huntsman’s Intent (sword).

*To return to The Hunt, and set them back to their original purpose; protecting the dead from monsters and demons as they pass into whatever afterlife awaits them.

*Unknown personality. No record of communication.

[Backstory: Illis Manory is the name of the first and true Huntmaster, the leader of a phantom band of entities charged with protecting the dead on their way to the afterlife and killing any demons or monsters they found inhabiting the ethereal plane. About 1000 years ago, however, he was deposed as the Huntmaster by a demon demigod, who then twisted The Hunt to suit his own purpose and began hunting the friendly and helpful sprites and spirits that also inhabited the ethereal plane, as well as allowing the souls of the dead to gather, become twisted by loneliness and grief, and then return to the corporeal world to wreak havoc.

Since then, Illis Manory has been on the run, trying to continue with his purpose of guiding the dead at the same time as avoiding the clutches of the demon Hunt. Now, he is also searching for a way to break the demon’s hold on his Hunt.

He is also being targeted by the Fae creature Kagra'Fam, though for what purpose or reason neither he nor anyone else knows].

Author's Note

One of my more polished and, also, more cliche concepts. I took the Hunt of Gaelic folklore and have tried to find a narrative-orientated purpose and form for them to take, as well as the potential for a them to feature as a key component in a story.
The backstories of ALL character concepts are fully revisable or replaceable. They are simply examples.
