The mention of Tenebrous's name stills even the tongues of dragons. If Chevalier is their lord and protector, then Tenebrous is their devil, their terrifying assassin. Jet black scales seem to swallow the light around him as he moves with a sleek, serpentine grace, long fangs flashing as he speaks, forked tongue dancing and, pale, maggot-white eyes with long, snake-like slits watching unblinkingly.
Tenebrous is cruel and lethal. He silently whispers to cultists everywhere, promising them power, wealth and knowledge if they follow him, and he's built quite a band of Dragon-Blooded thieves and quietly works to make inroads in human criminal organizations. Tenebrous wants wealth, food, and to listen to the screams of his victims.
Tenebrous's sins have shorn him of the draconic protection against death. He lacks the impossible durability of even his lesser kin, so he uses dirty tactics to win. His eyes miss nothing, not even in the deepest of darkness, and his sinuous grace ensures that his blows strike home accurately. When he screams his unearthly scream that makes the very soul tremble, shifting shadows fall wherever he calls them, often around himself, shrouding everything in complete darkness. Within this shadow, he makes no sound, not even the softest slither, as the massive, reptilian assassin stalks his prey, occasionally letting the shadows fall away so his victim gets one last look into his terrifying, white eyes before dying.
