He wears a black robe wherever he goes that extends downwards (and sometimes catches into something which Hither Slither hates).
He also has a ring of gold carats with a crown of an emerald (he keeps souls inside it).
His voice can be imagined as ethereal, goofy, aloof but threatening and kind of deep. He speaks like a madman though he uses uncommon words and phrases.

Historical Background:

Hither Slither was not the brightest child when he was born. He was born to a family: a mother, father, brother and sister. His father worked as a soldier and his mother took care of him. Since he was a child, he always was the laughing stock and aloof kid in the town. He had a specific talent for painting and drawing.

His real name is Nicholas Mitch Crewe. He wanted to pursue his artistic talents, and such, pleaded his mother to enroll him into an arts school.

As days passed, Crewe was accepted into an arts school because of his mother's effort. Crewe gladly went to the school. He was proud he was doing arts but he wondered why he was not drawing but instead raising the dead or cooking an eyeball.

Nicholas knew something was horribly wrong when he found out he was indeed studying in an art school. A Dark Arts school.

Horrified, Nicholas wanted to go back to his family from his dorm in school. However, when he returned, a massacre took place and killed his whole family.
Nicholas wanted revenge and a chance to brought them back again. He went back to the school, studied hard within 10 years, and was awarded one of the best necromancer the academy has experienced.

In the recent events, people has scorned the Dark Arts and his school was forced to close. He appealed to change this decision and was then subjected to treason and "practitioner of foul magics". He set out to live in a cave.

His ambition is to become a full pledge lich, one whose body is ethereal and ghastly. In this form, he is essentially immortal since he can't be killed by weapons or when killed by magic can reform somewhere again. In this form also, he can then sacrifice himself with no consequences to resurrect his massacred family he loved so dearly through various incantations and rituals.

Personality:

Hither Slither has a multitude of unique personalities.
