The physical avatar of the god of tyranny, hatred and strife. When confronted with a potential battle, Bane would possess an individual and force their body to take on a twisted and monstrous form with leathery black skin, two small horns on his forehead and powerful claws that could rend flesh and metal alike. He gained any powers they held in their life, and protected his host from mind control spells. His signature weapon is a punching gauntlet called the Black Hand of Bane that does extra damage to chaotic and good creatures.
