Description:
Standing at proximately 6'3, Amon carries a dark air of intimidation that is enforced by a strong posture. At first glance, his perpetually black eyes are deceptively kind. To stare into them too long, though, is to lose oneself forever. His hair is straight and just shy of black, falling down to his shoulders in a consciously neat style. He has sharply angled features that are almost always hidden under a thin layer of stubble. When he walks among the human world, he wears a black trench coat over dark attire.
Personality:
Cruel ~ Deceptive ~ Ruthless ~ Patient ~ Charismatic
Understanding Amon is a very difficult task that not many have succeeded at. Even those with the priveledge of gaining his services often receive nothing more than his temporary loyalty and their victims delivered on time. Whether dead or alive really doesn't matter. Amon has become one of the most sought after mercenaries simply because he doesn't ask questions or judge the task before him. He focuses on the end goal and finds a way to get there no matter the odds.
He has been known, at times, to be reckless. More than once he has carelessly allowed humans to see his power, though he is perfectly capable of covering any tracks should it be needed. He doesn't particularly enjoy the company of others, though has been known to sit and chat on occassion when he grows bored enough. He is intelligent, and at times he will show this up front. Most of the time, however, he prefers to keep his knowledge and secrets to himself. Furthermore, what he says and what he means are often two very different things.
He is most alive when he is on the hunt. He enjoys inflicting fear and pain in his victims and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Contentment is not in his nature and neither is satisfaction. He is always on the move and always searching for something more.

~ He can be summoned quite easily if someone speaks his true name out loud while thinking of him. A fact that has fallen into legend because everyone believes Amon to be his true name.
~ Reading the entirety of the runes along his back and arm is the one sure way to kill him for good. There is only one who knows their content and he holds the true power over Amon. No one else knows of their existance. Even if they did, there is no way to tell whether it is this that keeps him rooted to the dark side or if he truly wishes to travel his curent path. He seems to enjoy it a little too much.

~ The eternal sleep
~ The Devil

History:
Amon was a human once. A time that even he has trouble recalling. He was born as Aneunos, in the western region of Gaul in 79 BC. War took his father from him at a young age and the years that followed were not kind to the rest of the small family. Amon went to battle at a young age, learning many skills in defensive and offensive action before he reached the age of fourteen. Though not much is known of his time on earth, as very few accounts had survived through books and songs, what is known is that he lived a short life. He met his mortal end in the Seige of Alesia at the hands of Ceasar's men. Many fell that day. Amon expected the end to come. Instead, he discovered that this was only the beginning.
Amon did not enter the afterlife that his people had always envisioned. No deities appeared in the heavens and no light shone down on him. What he did find in the darkness was a being who would later reveal himself as the Devil. He offered Amon vengeance for himself and his family in return for a lifetime of service. At the time Amon didn't understand the meaning behind the words, and he accepted blindly. He was there for Ceasar's assassination. Put the men, responsible for deaths of those closest to him, to the sword. Watched their homes and families burn in Hell's flames. After that time, he disappeared from the earth, not to be seen again until the world had changed many times over.
In that time, Amon grew cold of heart and hot of blood. He had become a demon, serving the one who now controlled him. It was only with time that he regained some freedom, yet it was clear that the years had hardened him. He lived off the fear of others. Hated the sound of a child's laughter. The last of humanity had left him long ago. He grew into a ruthless mercenary, trading his skill for coin and making a name for himself through the underworld. To this day, he has yet to fail in a task and he does not expect that this streak will be broken any time soon. Yet he has recently become aware of something lurking just beyond the horizon. It is now up to him to deal with the coming storm.
