Gameplay

“No chains can hold me.”

Long ago there was an enraged wizard who was chained up in the Devarque dungeons with N’aix - a thief cursed by the Vile Council with longevity to punish him as his life-sentence. Taking the advantage of N'aix insanity and his memory lost, the wizard intended to wove a spell of Infestation  and cast his life-force into N'aix's body. The plan had gone wrong as his mind was dragged into a powerful vortrex of madness that completely destroyed his intentions and his own mind, leaving N’aix who was jarred to consciousness by the sudden infusion of fresh life and was willing to obey one strange voice in his head to escape the cell. 

Lifestealer was born at that precise moment, used his mind to penetrate the guards and troops, driving them to open locks and kill their allies, thereby clearing a path to freedom while feeding on their lives. Lifestealer still wears the broken shackles as a warning that no one can keep him, but on the inside, he is still a prisoner. The one form is inhabited by two minds: a nameless creature of evil cunning and the Master whose voice he professes to obey.
