Here's my villainous character, if needed. I can always make a hero if it's not.
Character Name: Lexuar
Race: Shade (similar to Nepycros)
Element: 
Appearance: Midnight black, with gleaming, blood-red eyes. 6 ft tall, and in decent physical shape. Male.
Age: Unknown, but is rumored to have created the Void all those years ago... Appears to be around 100 (around 60 in human years).
Background: Lexuar was a Crusader during the Third Great War, serving the King of Warivia for many years with his unique dagger fighting style. However, his philosophy didn't mingle well with the rest of the kingdom, and eventually he was banished under mysterious circumstances. After travelling for many years, he discovered a way to infuse a unique type of mana into his dagger, transforming it into the now-legendary Nosferatu Blade (described below). Every decade or so since, he has used his unique training methods, natural abilities, and assassination skills to perform a small massacre, the price needed to keep him alive for a while longer. He has created a formidable secret society in the past few centuries, but his morality is questionable and his mind is often scattered in jumbled thoughts. When there is need, he can focus on accomplishing a single goal, with the price of being effectively unaware of the rest of the world.
The Nosferatu Blade: A magic weapon that allows the user to siphon off a portion of the victim's life energy if stabbed into the heart. Very difficult to use, and in some cases may take decades to master. Appearance is that of a Vampire Dagger, but slightly larger and has mystical runes etched into it. The blade itself reflects no light whatsoever.
Chain Cloak: A black cloak that gives some resistance to a few different types of attacks (mainly arrows and a few types of blades), yet is light and makes little sound when moving. Inscribed with a few mystic runes of lesser power than his weapon. Doesn't completely protect him, as he's vunerable when making an attack, but his natural agility often makes up for it.
The Void Society: More of an asset, really. Promised with immunity to the Void itself, its members spread chaos throughout the world and even help the Void to grow, willingly or otherwise. Although it has strength in numbers, its members are often scattered too thinly, and are mostly incompetent or work poorly with their comrades. The Void Society often provides Lexuar with the materials he requests, though it usually takes a long time to do so.
Others: Lexuar occasionally has one or two other utility items to aid him in a battle, but he cannot carry too many objects or objects that are too heavy, as it would slow him down and lessen his effectiveness in combat. He only brings other items if he finds it absolutely necessary to do so.
Cloaking: All Shades have some sort of cloaking, usually aided by an item of some sort. Lexuar's form of cloaking gives him near invisibility, with the aid of his Chain Cloak, but its effectiveness is reduced dramatically when in combat or other strenuous situations. Great for ambushes.
Emulation: All Shades also have some sort of shadow manipulation, and can often merge into the shadows. For Lexuar, he can travel great distances in a short amount of time in the form of an amorphous shadow, as long as there is a dark enough shadow to travel through. The darker the shadow, the faster he can go. In his shadow form, he can also split himself to track others by their shadows, but it has consequences once he turns back into his physical form (for instance, he's missing a leg or arm when he turns back, but can regain it if all his shadows become one again). He can only transform himself and his belongings into shadows, but some Shades can turn other people into shadows as well.
Agility: Lexuar uses his quick reflexes to occasionally dodge incoming attacks he's aware of (in most cases, this only applies to the person he's trying to kill). As a downside to this, he often has trouble pushing people when he has the chance, and can be easily pushed around himself if the opportunity is present.
Focus: Lexuar focuses on one specific goal (such as killing a specific enemy, stealing an item, etc.), giving him a better chance of accomplishing that goal. However, it comes with the downside of being completely unaware of surroundings irrelevant to the accomplishment of that goal, and it is almost impossible to multi-task when focusing.
I'm open to comments on suggestions on him (in case he's too powerful for a villain).
