Origin Former reaper knight of Aurovant

Draskar rode for Aurovant's court as a reaper knight, taking souls for heaven's tithe after Vasko's rope. Three winters he was sent to Morwen's barrows for her hidden dying and never looked. Ordered to spear a dying garrison still singing, he put his lance through the Wyrdwing who brought the order, rode off without an oath, and the fourth winter came back to Morwen unbidden. Vasko defected alone too; each was sure the other would be hunting him, and neither was. His dead horse still runs, and lines break before his lance from fear. The Pale Rider holds his destined Last Hour and was sent for him twice; the second night Ulfrik rode beside him until dawn, silent.

A dying mortal still owns their final breath. Heaven will have to pry it from my lance.

He rode down renegades across the Aurovant plains until the night he speared heaven's messenger. Lowering his three-man-long ash lance into its iron rest, Draskar spurs his dead destrier into a soundless, terrifying gallop. The leaf-shaped steel head punches straight into the enemy line, hurling the foremost champion backward and scattering their defensive formation.

He learned this death rattle from the dying garrison that kept singing as heaven's tithe drew near. Pulling on the reins of his skeletal destrier, Draskar throws back his crested helm and lets loose a hollow, grave-chilled wail. The ghastly scream echoes through the ranks, freezing the hearts of nearby soldiers and sending them fleeing in frantic terror.

His pale grey warhorse died beneath him three winters ago, yet refuses to surrender its rider. The emaciated destrier breathes no air and leaves no hoofprints in the turf, gliding across the battlefield with unnatural swiftness. As Draskar fights, the cold white glow from the horse's empty eye sockets siphons spilled life to sustain the reaper knight.

He mastered this sweeping reave while clearing crowded barrow trenches alongside Morwen's dead. Reining his skeletal mount sideways, Draskar sweeps his long ash lance in a wide horizontal arc before him. The keen leaf-shaped steel head cleaves through leather and shields, staggering frontline infantry and leaving them slowed in the muddy wake.

He brought this shroud out of the Thornmere barrows after turning his back on heaven's tithe. Draskar raises his black ash lance, channeling the chill of the grave past its dull gold vamplate over the enemy vanguard. A clammy mist of faded purple and ash settles over the soldiers, rotting their armor and sapping the strength from their weapon arms.

This spectral charge he shared with Ulfrik when the headless king rode beside him through the dawn. Couching his black ash lance with torn grey pennant streaming, Draskar urges his skeletal destrier into an unstoppable charge. Knight and horse ride clean through the enemy formation like phantoms, trampling ranks and leaving terrified survivors fleeing in blind, screaming horror.

Appearance

Draskar is a tall, gaunt knight in his forties with a long pale face, ice-grey eyes and lank white-blond hair. He wears the black cataphract armour of an Aurovant reaper knight: full scale armour of dark iron over chain, a tall crested helm and a long ragged cloak of faded court purple, the gold trim gone dull; heaven's reaper sigil on his breastplate has been scratched out. His weapon is a long cavalry lance of black ash wood, longer than three men, with a slender leaf-shaped steel head, a dull gold vamplate and a torn grey pennant. He rides his dead horse, a big pale grey destrier with its hide drawn tight over its bones, a ragged white mane and tail, empty white-glowing eyes; it runs without breath and its hooves make no sound. Palette: dark iron, faded purple, bone white. Silhouette hook: a lancer on a skeletal pale horse with a pennant streaming.
