Hair: He has thick, coarse, unkempt and most significantly the same black as his single eye; This hair flows down the sides of his face with his fringe falling down casually upon his face or drawn back during formal events.
Eyes: His right eye is pure black while an artificial golden eye occupies Kon’s left eye socket; This prosthesis gives him enhanced visual acuity enabling him to reveal details that few can see naturally.
Overall: Konstantin’s complexion has a pale skin tone while having an eerie glow from the grace that he has received. This blessing affected influenced his body becoming equally otherworldly in features.
His working attire consists of a simple white button-up shirt and a pair of navy blue pants while he dons black dress shoes polished each morning. Over these garments, he wears a matching navy blue military jacket with Golden military trimmings. Prior to beginning a mission or during an encounter with an opponent Konstantin will don white dress gloves with matching red draconic decal.
While off-duty his military attire is replaced with still rather formal clothing typically tailored suits. These suits will commonly be more humble earthy browns for regular wear when out and about while blacks three-piece suits are worn for events requiring finer wear.
During the cold periods of the year or while travelling, he will wear a long, black overcoat over the rest of his attire alongside his white dress gloves. No matter the climate, however, he now wears around his neck a symbol symbolic of the Illumin religion on a fine silver chain between his shirt and his jacket.
Always wanting to retain information he has gleaned from his encounters with his new eye, Kon has started to keep within his coat a nondescript book containing all the information of those he's encountered whom he deemed worthy of note at the time.
Extra: When his replacement eye is not placed, he will don a black eyepatch covering the left side of his face; Such a large patch is likely worn due to his reluctance to reveal his weaker self primarily to himself in the mirror. He will commonly carry around scrolls and charcoal pencils in his rucksack worn under his jacket. Meanwhile, tokens from his crusades are often held around his belt most significantly the skull of his former friend, Odin.
PERSONALITY
Personality: Konstantin is an organised, orderly and most importantly divisive individual. Rising at dawn to paint or practise an instrument during the early hours of the morning before beginning his assigned duties. Orders are never questioned only followed through outside of extreme circumstances. Through torture and memory manipulation at the hand of the Midnight Cult, Konstantin has become jaded, even heartless individual. Lacking both traditional inhibitions and the emotional ties to his past allows him to embrace the brutal, harsh side of himself.
His views towards other races are controversial with him being intolerant of the most accepted non-human races and homicidal to those that hide in the dark. He founds all non-human races as being unclean needing to be purged only restraining himself with such actions looking poorly when brought into focus. Even Half-humans are only partially accepted still finding them tainted and not equal to humans, let alone Nephilims.
Because of these views, it is hard for the man to form deep relationships with a moderate portion of the population; Losing his memories has also destroyed all previous bonds leaving him isolated. While he has a strong distaste towards a people of a different race, he can remain clear-headed and capable of displaying even empathy towards others when interacting with them.
Due to his sheer awareness in his abilities as a mage, he is incredibly self-confident in them and prefers to work independently. He is very calculating, even slow in terms of fighting; Often he will hang back from the fights and support his allies or just examine the surroundings of his target planning out different strategies. His choice to remain in the background stems from his ability to hit targets from afar. His methods of combat allow him to minimize the casualties of innocent citizens and his comrades.
Konstantin does not find great pleasure in violence simply finding it simply as a means to an end, merely encouraging the idea of doing Illumin’s work. Lacking the restrains that many are tied behind, He performs actions that few would be willing to do voluntarily; Torture, manipulation are all acts that he partakes in, all undertaken with the utmost care to ensure discretion as to avoid any repercussions from society.
Traces of memories return to the magician during periods of respite in particular when dreaming or encountering individuals who previously knew him; This leaves him inconsolable and often causes him to lash out in the hopes to protect himself. Hoping to find a balance in the violent and cruel reality that Konstantin resides in; he hones his artistic and musical abilities allowing him to focus on the peace and tranquillity this world has to offer. Doing these activities allows him to recenter himself both before and after a massive conflict.
Likes:
Music & Art: Since losing the strong relationships that Kon had formed in the recent years in particular with his closest friend and life-partner Adelaide Sokolov, he has begun to focus his separate time on developing his artistic and musical talents. Painting watercolours with local flora and fauna as his inspirations while making oil paintings of his comrades and even himself or spending his time practising various musical instruments including piano, violin and flute.
Purging the unworthy and unclean: While he isn’t a sadist in that he relishes in committing acts of violence, he still takes pleasure in knowing that he is removing those he believes are not worthy or have been corrupted. Whether it’s by the influence of the lesser evils of Vampirism or Lycanthropy or by far greater threat of demonic corruption.
Fine Dining: Falling back onto his long-forgotten roots of the upper class, Konstantin thrives when eating food made from master chefs while hastily made food and camping rations sicken him unless cooked with the same prowess. Food of poorer quality is only accepted by the man when given as the only option, as a gift or during critical times such as while travelling to a mission.
Dislikes:
Other Races: Konstantin holds a strong distaste towards all non-human races only accepting the need for certain ones such as the Nekomata recognising usefulness though still harbouring a resentment towards them. His passionate hatred towards them is particularly apparent towards any that have fallen to darkness such as Vampires, Lycans, daemons, liches especially dark elves.
The Monarchy: Although Kon has lost a majority of his memories he is still aware of the conflicts that took places in Fiore specifically the ones that included him, Having learnt the dark guild Grimoire Heart’s leader had orchestrated the entire campaign has led him to question the validity of such a system of government viewing it as a relic from a distant time.
Debauchery: Being a man of faith, Konstantin finds that excess of sinful activities to be distasteful. Excess of these acts is where he finds faults in with him impartial to the occasional consumption of alcohol and recognising the rights of those to partake in sexual activities.
Motivations:
Removing the Midnight cult from existence: His knowledge about the guild is limited however he is aware of the lengths that they are will to do. This quickly became evident during his torture leading to him losing a majority of his memories. His desire to prevent these methods from continuing and to get revenge for the pain and losses he has suffered by their hand drives him to learn more about the guild prioritizing operations against them over most others.
Remain in Illumin’s Grace: An impossible task for someone all but the most devoted to complete however Kon endeavours to retain his grace, leading him to potentially misinterpret the will of the god as would be the case for even someone such as the Divine.
Power: While Konstantin is a significantly powerful magician capable of doing amazing feats, he endeavours to grow and develop his abilities further in the hopes that he could contend against anyone that stands in front of him.
Fears:
Remembering his past: Konstantin’s fear towards his past stems from what happens to him during his periods of recollection rather than the memories of his past directly, fearing the unknown behind his past with only his worst memories remaining albeit altered.
Getting emotionally attached: Intimacy has never been Konstantin’s strong suit particular now however with him lacking the memories of his friends and family, only recalling the worst memories of his past. This inherent fear is created from this and causes him to push those that attempt to do so with himself, even violently if probed too far.
Earthland submitting to Evil: Good and Evil, Seraphim and Demons, Illumin and the Demonic Gods, have been in a conflict since the beginning of time. This never-ending war concerns the wizard with him fearing that the good in people may falter and evil may overrun society bringing an end to the reign of Illumin.
MAGICA
Magic Name: Light Magic
Magic Element: Light
Magic Description: Stripped from his summoning abilities, Konstantin has overcome this loss and uses his large mana pool to use rudimentary light-based magic expect for supplementary and offensive spells which he has shown a talent towards. This light magic is not limited to solely those spell-types with him also being able to use healing, self-buff, debuff and defensive with relative efficiency. Since changing to this magic he has been forced to alter his casting style being more forceful and direct illustrated through the use of a flick of the wrist instead of his previously lazy raise of a hand.
HISTORIA
X784-X787:
Early to Mid-X785: After the marriage between Kon and Adelaide, their newly formed family took an extended vacation towards the border of Bosco and Fiore learning his family's cultural heritage in a safer environment.
With the toppling of the Royalty and subsequent replacement in Monarchy favouring a more inclusive and tolerant regime issue between the different classes became a noticeable part in day to day living with nobility looking to gain more power while the lower class sought their own. The church meanwhile consolidated their own strength which included the golden couple of Adelaide and Konstantin with them now operating as inquisitors against the spread of zealots who sought the downfall of the church and Illumin itself.
During this period, Konstantin began to distance himself from his friends, in particular, his best friend and best man for his wedding knowing that their relationship would be damaged as a result. Instead, Konstantin focussed on more outlying areas of Fiore hoping to slow the spread of paganism. Initially, their efforts were quite successful with entire regions being purged from those that did not believe in the will of Illumin, however as time progressed uprising grew in number and perhaps most importantly in strength.
Eventually, a hotspot for cultist activity was identified which was then targeted by the Holy Knights with Konstantin and Adelaide also taking part in the cleanse. Unfortunately, the information on the hotspot was used as bait to lure numerous members leading to their deaths or their capture as was the case with Adelaide and Konstantin.
Being captured was a light way to put what occurred to them however with the duo facing significant torment, torture and manipulation. In Konstantin’s case his memories were twisted and altered until he was almost putty at the hands of the Midnight Cult while his magic was purged and his gear was acquired by the Holy Knights from him prior to his capture. They were held by the cultists seemingly for months with the order assuming that everyone had been killed.
Their rescue was only made possible with the second attempt at purging the cultist hotspot using both stronger and more knights. It was said that he was found chained to a wall beaten to the inch of his life while a magic circle of unknown sources lingered below him. Former comrades whom he had spent numerous days fighting side by side had since been forgotten even his wife after reconnecting with her since the months of torture and separation had been an uneventful reunion. Few memories did, in fact, stay central to his mind primarily that of his loyalty towards the Holy Knight Order, at least to those within the organization itself.
Early to Late-X786:
After recovering Konstantin, he underwent significant treatment partially from the Holy Knights themselves and a handful of other individuals such as family whom the Knights had selected. His treatment allowed him to regain his sense of reality as well as ensure that he remained loyal to the Holy Knights in spite of the months of torture that might have swayed him otherwise. During this time Kon also invested significant resources in relearning how to cast magic having learnt he was formerly a summoner of great constructs.
With a new mindset preferring the idea of direct conflict he invested his magical studies in the branches of Offensive and Supplementary spells while acquiring equipment to bolster his close-combat capabilities. After months of treatment, recovery and self-discovery he was signed off by his superiors to continue helping in the Crusades having been given new missions.
During this period an old friend whom Konstantin had since forgotten returned in the worst possible light. Resulting in a devastation incident destroying the manor and killing his friend albeit temporarily.
X763-X784:
Konstantin has a rather large sized family which is the norm for the Sokolov household, he is the middle child of Boris and Sonja Sokolov, with their children consisting of His eldest brother, Robert, Dmitry, Himself, Aleksandr and his youngest brother, Victor.
He was born into the life of luxury as one of the children of the head of the family who held a majority of families dwindling riches. After the birth of the youngest son, Sonja grew gravely ill, with their father, Boris couldn't find a way to save Sonja despite all the money the family had, so he removed himself from the outside world choosing to spend his days studying the arts of necromancy in the hopes to bring the love of his life to him.
Boris’s obsession led to him completely forgetting his children including Konstantin who were instead looked after by maids and tutors, each of them handled their mother's death and their father's absence differently, for example, this was the cause for Robert's distaste towards the rest of the family as they often would protect Victor from Robert, who blamed him for the entire affair.
Eventually after Victor reached 6 years old one of the maids demanded the absent-minded almost mad Victor that the younger children should begin school, so they were shipped across Fiore with his siblings to a Dormitory in the freezing mountains near the border to the countries in the east, it was here where he spent a little over decade following precise orders, studying, debating, calculating and developing his intellect to become a battle strategist.
He would often bore and annoy both his classmates and friends by trying to discuss minor details which amused him. This entertaining education was brought to an end shortly before his 19th birthday when he and his brothers had been requested to return to his home as his father had died from a heart attack whilst he was commencing a series of experiments.
Shortly after the funeral of his father, he found out that their return to their home was not to pay his respect to the man whom he felt no attachment to but was also to have one of them to partake in a family magic tradition also known as the Blood Sacrifice ceremony which involves the sacrifice of a virgin teenage girl by a member of the head family of the Sokolov branch with the entire head family being present.
The ceremony occurs each time the head of the family dies, the previous one to have occurred was a few months prior to Konstantin's 3rd birthday, which was performed after the death of his grandfather. After witnessing the barbaric act which Robert performed, he and his brothers tried to flee from his family by going into the forbidden, sacred forests that surrounded his hometown.
However as Dmitry was fleeing from the Manor, Robert wielding the same weapon to slay the girl murdered him for betraying the family. Unable to go to her, they watched from a distance as Robert continued to bring the knife down upon his brother's body causing blood to spray across him and the grass that was laying it. Robert only stopped when he was finally pulled away from her by other members of the family whilst others looked in disgust and spoke to one and another in hushed tones.
Unknown to the others the blood sacrifice had major outcomes, with each of them all gaining magical powers, ironically in Konstantin’s case he had begun to develop abilities to restore life to dead which he first discovered when he came across a dead bird which upon him touching it after it’s death resurrecting before flying off into a tree. The fact that he had acquired this particular magic amused him has his father had spent over a decade to gain it, he had it just after his death.
Wishing to avoid the typical problems associated with having this particular magic he decided it would be appropriate for him to join the rune knights instead of having to fight them if he were discovered by a member of the rune knights who wouldn’t take a blind eye to him. During his time within the Rune Knights, Kon swiftly gained power while isolating himself from others until he learnt of Illumin, the Holy Knights and their abilities to manipulate magic to their will.
Corrupted Past:
Konstantin vaguely recalls being born into a large family whose names and faces he has since forgotten only remembering that he was the middle child with having four other brothers of a wealthy family. Remembering scraps of his past such as tragic events such as the death of his mother, the neglect from his absent father or the abuse inflicted by his brother, plague his memories constantly. All these events were compounded in their intensity and their outcome with those memories being vivid more violent than in comparison to the original version.
The death of his mother previously associated with the pregnancy of his youngest brother had shifted to a brutal and bizarre memory of a Dark Elf tearing her to pieces bringing him to tears and inconsolable with her violent death. Taking place during the same period with him being forced to watch by an illusion of his blood-lusting elder brother. This was one of his earliest memories that he still held onto allowing him to understand what lengths the deranged would go to fulfilling their desires.
The memory of neglect from his father while initially emotionally stunting Konstantin was worsened by changing his simple absence to additional falsified parental abuse from his father along with taking the role of the abuse performed by his eldest brother in his life before he and his brothers were shipping off to Fiore for their protection. This must have lasted a significant time, with his scattered memories only recollecting that he had been receiving this treatment for years.
So they were shipped across Fiore with his siblings to a Dormitory in the freezing mountains near the border to the countries in the east, it was here where he spent little over a decade following precise orders, studying, debating, calculating and developing his intellect to become a battle strategist. Once again these activities were replaced with more heavy-handed ones being abused alongside his peers commonly be held out in the bitter cold with him severely injured at one point while lacking any physical marks indicative of such an injury.
He, formerly, would often bore and annoy both his classmates and friends by trying to discuss minor details which amused him. Rather than simply boring and annoying his classmates and now absent friends his attempts to discuss topics with his peers would result in further harsh treatment causing him to become more socially isolated both from his peers and even his family who responded in the same vein. This formerly entertaining, now cruel and psychologically damaging, education was brought to an end shortly before his birthday when he and his brothers had been requested to return to his home as his father had died in his sleep, with his death serving to provide little justice for the pain he had inflicted.
Shortly after the funeral of his father, he found out that their return to their home was not to pay his respect to the man whom formerly he felt no attachment to, now instead held an unbridled rage towards, but was also to have one of them to partake in a family magic tradition. The Blood Sacrifice ceremony which involves the sacrifice of a virgin girl by a member of the family. A memory of his past was otherwise largely unaltered with it being already being disturbing. Instead, however, He took the role as the person doing the barbaric act, rather than once again his eldest brother.
After performing the ceremony, he and his brothers tried to flee from his family by going into the forbidden, sacred forests that surrounded his hometown. However, they were fleeing from the Manor, his eldest brother wielding the same weapon to slay the girl murdered him for betraying the family. Unable to go to him, they watched from a distance as Robert continued to bring the knife down upon his brother's body causing blood to spray across him and the grass that was laying it. Robert only stopped when he was finally pulled away from her by other members of the family whilst others looked in disgust and spoke to one and another in hushed tones.
Unknown to the others the blood sacrifice had major outcomes, with each of them all gaining magical powers, ironically in Konstantin’s case he had begun to develop abilities to restore life to dead which he first discovered when he came across a dead bird which upon him touching it after it’s death resurrecting before flying off into a tree. The fact that he had acquired this particular magic sickened him as he felt only those above him should hold such a power.
Wishing to avoid the typical problems associated with having this particular magic he decided it would be appropriate for him to join the rune knights instead of having to fight them if he were discovered by a member of the rune knights who wouldn’t take a blind eye to him. During his time within the Rune Knights, Kon swiftly gained power while isolating himself from others until he learnt of Illumin, the Holy Knights and their abilities to manipulate magic to their will.
