Raven Demon Ascendant (Swain from League of Legends)
A man walks alone in the dark, accompanied only by the eerie caws of ravens and their wing beats. Within the cacophony of fowl sounds, lies a disembodied voice, a voice only the man could hear. Upon inspecting the ravens, the man was shocked to find that the ravens had three eyes on each side of its head; these eyes of a scarlet red color and pupils in the shape of a star-like cross. This deeply disturbed the man, but what was more disturbing was the man's ignited curiosity to this irregularity. The ravens flocked together, flying away from the man, right after the voice spoke to the man, it said "follow us". The man, overrun by a mysterious desire to discover what is behind all of this, follows the flock, walking at first and soon ran after it. After running for a few minutes into the nearby forest, the man was greeted with nothing. The flock had dispersed, now laying all separately on the branches. The man looks around for anything interesting, only to find a puddle of black ooze under the biggest tree. He investigates the ooze by touching it only to be grabbed by glowing red hand that quickly appeared from it. Now inside the ooze, The man is faced by a giant raven-like creature with the skull visible while the rest of the body is covered in feathers. The skull has five sockets, two on each side of the head and one socket in the middle of the frontal bone of the skull. The creature Speaks to the man telepathically and says "Do you want power and glory?". "Yes." the man responded hesitantly. "Then look into my eyes mortal, and gaze into the darkness that gazes back". The man did as instructed, the deal was done, and the demon took their residence in the mans now corrupted soul.
