Background
" ... the universe yawned, agape jaw and starry teeth, fangs that cradled time, it beckoned me to listen, to inherit the Fates. "
Judaeus Galicius was born in the early 17th century in the West Indies, but the location is unknown. At the tender age of 14, Judaeus began a career in Privateering. He never really stuck to a single crew, but as long as he's being paid, he'll be there. Years after he'd gain notoriety amongst the Spaniards and Portuguese fleet, he chose Independence and instead spent a few months pillaging other ships to build his own ship, becoming a pirate.
The ship was named Custos Pacis, albeit the captain, Judaeus' authority was well respected on the High Seas of the West Indies, he was more towards keeping peace amongst privateers and pirates, ensuring none of them would not stray for the Way of Living.Eventually, he would had sailed every wave of the West Indies, sailed against most seafarers enough for them to know his name, Judas of The Seven Seas. Seeing the fleeting contributions he had made to seafaring in the Golden Age of Piracy, Judaeus had opted to quit the seas and retire.After his retirement, he and his crew refashioned the ship from pirating to diplomatic work representing Nassau, storing his cannons to below deck. Doing political work seemed to be less taxing than pirating, but still he preferred sailing the black flag instead of the neutral.But behind closed doors, he was an avid practitioner of occultism and the dark arts. To his fellow men, he speaks of God's name with high praise as all seafarers would, but truly he believed there be greater beings that lay in the beyond, those that evades his comprehension.Upon a night sailing on a passage from Port Au Prince to Nassau, having just completed his diplomatic duties, Judaeus debriefed his men by the wheel of their plans for the very next day before retreating to the captain's quarter after entrusting the ship's voyage to his quartermaster.
Hours he sat in his seat, his desk cluttered with items and miscellaneous gathered from his pirating career, and within arm's reach lay strewn parchments containing inscriptions eerie and old. In his hand, rests an open timeworn book, more so, a Necronomicon. Sunken into his cushioned seat, Judaeus sat like a king on his throne, his attention apprehended by the contents provided by the book, enticed by the words and images as inconceivable ideas began to bloom within his mind; this marks the making of a new horror... a spiral into the unknown.Suddenly, the whole ship shook, jolting Judaeus from a dreamlike state, and then went to investigate the rowdy commotion stirring outside. He thought they had hit a coral reef, and that his crew was experienced enough to deal with such incidents without much trouble, but they were louder than usual..Stepping out of his quarters, he looked around and saw his men gathered by the edges, peering over as if something was in the water. Amongst them, was the quartermaster whom had just noticed the captain, anxiously waving him over to join them in viewing of this spectacle. Rushing over, his men stepped aside and for Judaeus as he partook in the sight... and what he saw wafting in the waves rendered him still.
It was a dead whale with claw marks carved into it's flesh, drifting against the vassal's wood. But to the eyes of the Judaeus, those marks formed symbols of runes he recognized from the Necronomicon, and upon viewing them his mind was ravaged by a flashing image of a serpentine eye staring right into his soul. The tormenting episode lasted for a few seconds, ending with a bone chilling whisper only he could hear saying:" Fate appoints their avatar... "In a shaken daze, he stumbled a few steps back from the edge and to his men's surprise, for it was the first time they saw their captain falter. The very next moment, the whole ship shook again, this time it had truly hit something, beaching itself on a shore of a island. The wood of the vassal creaked as it absorbed the force caused by the inertia pushing against the sandbar until motion had nullified itself, ceasing the rock and sway of the ship as it came to a standstill.The men aboard were overwhelmed by the rapid succession of events, recomposing themselves as they tried to make sense of the situation. Disembarking, Judaeus and his men trudged into the uncharted isle, and with lumps in their throats and sweat in their palms, they approached the ominous tree line, venturing deeper into the woods.Their journey seemed almost endless, they have been walking for what felt like hours but there had not been a change in environment and sky; it was as if time had come into a standstill. The crew followed Judaeus' lead closely, for his presence was the only thing keeping them sane and secure from the darkness that lurked in the woods that stared at them. eventually, they found a wall of rock, and in it was crevice, wide enough for them to pass through. Without further inspection, Judaeus followed his instincts and pressed on, slipping his way in as his men followed suit.Emerging first, Judaeus was presented with a sight that suspends belief, an otherworldly scene to behold. His men fanned out behind him as they came from the crack, all rooting themselves to the ground as they beheld what stood afore them.If they were still sane, they could definitely tell that they were no longer in the boundaries of their world, and it was a miracle that they were still alive. But the reason why they were still alive was not miraculous, instead it was the will of an tenebrous entity that awaited them.
A being over yonder, and within instances Judaeus recognized the status of the being, and it began to shred at his mind, ravaging his mental as his face began to contort with agony. But the ones who were more affected were his men, all cowering behind him as they were induced with extreme psychosis, but he kept standing, his limbs frozen in place whilst gazing upon the terrifying monstrosity. Albeit inflicted with madness, they were not dying."Judaeus Galicius," the abomination started.It's voice scorned his being."I come, as Judge of Twilight, to deliver your sentence, as consequence of absconding with the Book of REDACTED, and I damn you and your men for meddling with affairs of beyond."Robbed of the ability to properly function, all he could do was endure and listen."As punishment, I shall revoke your status amongst the people, I denounce your men's life, and your freedom as man, Iー""My- mEN! SPaRe mY MEnー!"Judaeus struggled against this being of beyond, despite his body almost crushed beneath the presence of this entity, he made sure he was a stoic shield for his men, raising his arms in their defense as he pleaded for their freedom."ThEY KnOW NOt oF MY AmbITioNSーTHEy onLY FOLloWー"
...
...
...
"Your plea is the utmost acceptable, therefore I shall be reason enough and grant it."The Judge of Twilight spoke as it delivered a moment's benevolence."I renounce your men's life freed from the bud, they shall restart life anew in the name of Him, and as for you, Judas of Saturn, I renounce your status amongst humanity, and I appoint you the Archduke of Fates, the Book of REDACTED shall now be entrusted to your hands, you are now free, in Twilight's nameー."
"Rise, ]̸̢̛̱̼͖̝̠͓̱̪̲̜̱̮̌̈́͌͗͑̃]̶͓͈̍̓͌̂̅̊]̷̹̣̣̣̜̇̏̈̃͒͗̄͆͘͝]̵͚̭͒̿̆̑̾̏̉J̶̧̜̦̪͇͖̪͉̲̳̀̀̔̀̄́͌]̸̨͚̲̣̠͙̯̘̪̝͈̝̼̑̈́͆̈̔́̂͠͝]̸̢̠͍̫̝̪̲̟͒͜]̴̨̣͉̻̰̤̙̥̠͈̯͉̍̀͛̐̽̿̀̆̈̍̍͗͜͜Ḑ̵̨̥̱̳̪̲̰̫͚̓͐͆̾͜͠]̴̘̃̋̆̓̇̉͛̑̀̚]̸̡̧̨̺̺͉̘͙͎͂̋͒̈̓͑̈̓͌̑̿̏̕͜͜]̴̛̩̘̭̇͒̄͌͒̓͆́͐̀̉̄̚͝[̴̛̛̛̹̙̪̟̼͔͂͐͌͛͑̀͋̏̓͘[̶̧̯͇̘̪͎͚̦̋ͅÙ̸͎͇̬̯̥̮̩̄̓̉̓̽̕[̵̧̧͙͙͓̠͚̳̯̥̞̌̃̀̀̅͛̎̆̿͂[̵̡̨̟̙͇͇̟͖̞͉̮̙͋̽̊̅́̑͊̓̔̕̚[̵̟̹̞̼͎̝͇̏[̸͇͕̓̄̚|̸̩͑̆̄̈́|̸̢̛̞͙̯̿̈͌́|̵̢̨̭̥̤̳̫̠̠̳̝̭͇̺̝͐Ş̴̝͖̼̬̫͔̄͋̇̇̎͒̾̐̔̄̃͜"
And the last thing heard from Judaeus was;
"▂!̸̧͍͇̼͖̺̙̟͕̻̇͋̾̏̆̅̔̈́̿̒̂͘̚͝͝ͅ!̴͈̍͑̾́̀̏͗͆̅̇̏̐̈́ͅ!̵̙͋̆̈́͑!̷̡͙̟̭̤̲̥̣̟̑̐͛̕͝!̵̛̱̤̰̙͚̱̤͔͖̐́̀̈́̌̒̈̀̃̄̑̏͘͜͠!̵͔̰̜̮̱̝̼̅͊̾̿͠!̵̛̼͚͇̺̮͖̮̝͖̟̜̱̒̑͆̾̅̄͆̍!̷̺͈̝͖̌̈́͂̀͂̚͜͝͝͠!̵̻̯̰̞̟͙͇̰͌̂̐͆̌̾̉̎͘͜!!!!!!!!!!!"

And then followed with a pillar of light showering upon Judas, and eventually the entire dimension was submerged within it.
Significant time had passed, significant, and Judaeus had been serving as the Archduke of Fates. With his humanity denounced from him, he had long forgotten what he means to be human, and is now apart of the unknown; the unknowable that eludes all; the void that stares back.Although adept in the field of magicking, Judaeus has often taken to the blade and armor.
