Honors
Former head of the Melanthios family.
Retired grand master in the school of unarmed combat arts.
Single handedly prevented the second great Divinity War.
Defeated Master Eleazar in single combat, securing the continuity of assassin organizations.
Frustratingly good at card games.
Appearance
From any angle, Periculosi has the appearance on a nondescript old man. He moves slowly, hunched and leaning on his cane. His slow gate hints at painful joints and stiff muscles. Wearing simple gray robes at all times, he tends to simply blend into any scenery and most people wouldn't give him a second glance. His long gray mustache and beard completely obscure his mouth, and his bushy gray eyebrows completely obscure his eyes. His head is completely bald and on most occasions he wears nothing to cover it.
Bio
Periculosi is the grandfather of Erebus and Eirika Melanthios. Already retired by the time of Erebus's training, he took no part in it, instead simply offering observations and pieces of wisdom at times he deemed necessary.
When it was discovered that Eirika had an extremely weak body and was bedridden, he took it upon himself to keep her company on a daily basis. Telling her stories, and bringing her reading material, he nurtured her curiosity and love of knowledge, subtly guiding her down a path she would find fulfilling.
At the age of 129, Periculosi is by far the longest lived Melanthios in the family's history. Somehow, he has managed to resist the self harming effects of the Shadow Flash technique and avoided succumbing to madness. Some speculate that he mastered the technique in secret. Others believe death has already attempted to claim him, and he simply said no.
Officially, Periculosi has been missing since the Melanthios massacre.
In actuality he is secretly living in Savale using the name Avo Umbra. His presence and true identity is known to no one, not even Master Eleazar, confirming that the elderly grand master still has not lost his touch.
His intentions are to watch over his grandchildren in secret, and to interfere with the headmaster's many schemes whenever he believes it would be amusing to do so.
Scope of Abilities and Skills
Grand master of unarmed combat, easily able to match any and every attack used against him. He has defeated heavily armed armies, legions of assassins, and even the magic of Master Eleazar with only his body and abilities.
Presence: Periculosi has the ability to completely mask his presence from any and all forms of detection and observation. He could walk straight through an army, the most sophisticated detection technology, and the most powerful of detection magic, and no one would be the wiser.
Conversely, when he makes himself known, the exertion of his presence alone can suffocate any he deems an enemy to the point of death. This is true for anyone below a power rank of at least VII.
Tatsu: Periculosi as the ability to sever, tear apart, unmake, break, or dissociate anything. When he was younger, this technique required touch and concentration on his part. Now, he can exert Tatsu through thought and his force of presence alone. It's severity can range from cutting something in half, causing a device to fall into all of its separate pieces, making a solid object dissolve into a fine mist, and even severing subatomic bonds.
Kumiawaseru This ability is the antithesis to Tatsu. It can unite, reform, rebuild, and restore anything that Tatsu can unmake.
While Erebus may be the greatest prodigy in the history of the Melanthios family, Periculosi is unquestionably the greatest master.
