Skynner

"I make alcohol because i get to see desperate people trying to forget their pain"

Early life
Skynner is a powerful spirit that manifested in Anglunia, Eldham, 20 years ago. When he first appeared he was nothing more than a faint white shadow, but as time went on he started to gain power and with that a more complex shape. After aproximately 10 years he stumbled upon a brewer cellar where he decided to stay, tormenting the poor soul. In the cellar he saw that after each time he would appear in a dream of the brewer, the latter would drink copious amounts of alcohol. So he understood some of the effects of those strange brews, to avoid problems and forget fears. Yet time went on and he became more and more material up to the point of not being able to phase through walls and he stopped being somewhat invisible, he now appeared as a black mist with bright white eyes. Although the brewer thought of the spirit as nothing more than a vision it was clear now that he was real. The brewer, after seeing the spirit holding his recipe book in the cellar, finally had the proof of his existence and decided to call an exorcist to purge the spirit.

The exorcisim
The spirit was reading through a recipe book of the brewer when the sound of bells and the smell of incense started to seem more and more intense. He didn't have time to hide that the cellar door burst open and a shaman entered the basement. The occultist started chanting "Skynnendetenebris forsvinde ex hoc esse consilium, skynnendetenebris forsvinde....". The spirit left out a screech of pain as he started to fade, the shaman didn't stop and set the spirit on fire with a soul flame. The spirit screeched once again but this time sending a shock wave that shattered all the bottles of alcohol in the cellar and killed the shaman, the brewer that was in the tavern heard the screech and ran away.

The recovery
The spirit even if still "alive" was severely hurt after the attempt to banish him. With his last strenght he managed to get out of the cellar just to faint on the stairs that led to the tavern. The spirit awoke the next day, he had started to fade, while the exorcism didn't work it severly hurt the spirit that was now slowly disapearing, dying. So he decided to search the shaman body to find if there was anything usefull. He found a book and some silver belts, he spent 2 days reading through each page of the book.

In the book were stated multiple things regarding the spirit's kin, and ways to banish them. In an exorcism the spirit must be weakened and then tied with the silver belts, after that it must be taken to the nether and through a ritual finally banished. In the book was stated that the belts didn't damage the spirit in any way they only prevented it from phasing through objects and posses people. He decided to wear the belts, thinking that they could stop him from fading away. initially it was extremely painful but after a couple of hours he stopped fading and the pain disappeared. He took the cape of the shaman to hide his appearance and started wandering around Anglunia hoping to find a place to live.

Later life and career
During his life as a nomad the spirit discovered that priests, shamans and various occultists refered to him as Skynnendetenebris, apparently the name of his subspecies, while normal people called him spirit. He understood that if he heard someone say Skynnendetenebris that meant they knew about his kin and also how to banish them. Yet he still wanted to live in humanoids societies so he decided to only stop in cities in which no one called him Skynnendetenebris. After 5 years of roaming in the wild he stumbled upon Nortstaeyya, he speaked with various members of the city and no one referred to him with his subspecies name.

He soon became a citizen that went by the name of Skynner and started working as a bartender in the city's tavern where he lives now.
