The Black Swordsman (5e Creature)

The Black Swordsman

Long ago, an incredible warrior had everything taken from him by the demonic inhabitants of the Abyss. Vowing to take revenge, the swordsman wielded a sword not intended for man and donned armor of incredible strength, and risk. The demonic presence gifted to him from his torturers bound to the steel. Whenever the man gave into his bloodlust, the beast would take over.

On one fateful day, the warrior delved into the Abyss to purge reality of the one who wronged him. In order to truly defeat his enemy, he was forced to give in completely to the beast within him. This unholy fusion left him as The Beast of Darkness, constantly thirsting for blood.
