Keimon was a vedalken stormcaller from Esper, who discovered first-hand the powerful effects of the Maelstrom.
Description
Keimon was a vedalken from Esper, characterized by blue skin and intricate etherium filigree integrated into his body. He wore practical, mage-like attire suitable for his role as a stormcaller, adorned with various magical implements. Keimon displayed a calm demeanor and a methodical approach to problems. He showed deep loyalty to his master, Archmage Drathus, willing to die if ordered to do so but hopeful for survival.
Keimon was quick-thinking and brave, able to harness powerful storms and confront Nayan behemoths despite the risks. He cared deeply for his master, assisting Drathus even when injured and striving to protect him until the end.
History
Keimon, working on a wind orrery, faced a catastrophic disruption caused by alien mana and invading behemoths. The sanctum, a center for their research, was under threat from these colossal creatures. Despite the intrusion, Keimon and Drathus attempted to flee, with Keimon conjuring a storm to combat the behemoths. His lightning spell succeeded in downing one behemoth, but the second proved impervious to his magic.
Carrying his wounded master, Keimon navigated through the chaos, using his control over the winds to evade further danger. They aimed to deliver a critical spell capsule to Naya, believing it crucial for their mission. They arrived at the Maelstrom, a chaotic storm of raw mana. Here, Keimon faced an elemental creature born from the combined landforms of the shards. In the ensuing battle, Drathus was killed. Overcome by the Maelstrom's chaotic energy, Keimon began casting uncontrollably, summoning powerful creatures and spells. Unable to control the torrent of magic, he retrieved the spell capsule from Drathus's body and, in a final act of desperation, activated its detonator, terminating himself to stop the mana surge. The Maelstrom consumed all traces of Keimon, his summoned creatures, and even the spell capsule. His sacrifice, though valiant, was ultimately absorbed and erased by the storm's voracious power.
