Cuchulainn the Impure is a powerful fiend and one of the twelve Lucavi, beings who were created to serve the gods but rose up against them in revolt instead. The gods cast the Lucavi down for their transgressions, twisting their once noble forms into hideous mockeries and binding them to magical glyphs that would limit their once-great power. Eater of Sin. It is said that the gods created Cuchulainn when they looked out upon their creation and saw that it was filled with impurities, both of the body and of the soul. Cuchulainn, then a handsome and angelic being, would absolve mortals of their transgressions by literally eating their sins and taking the impurities within himself. But the gods had underestimated just how corrupt the races of man had grown, and the sheer amount of sin Cuchulainn devoured began to twist his body and warp his mind. Now he is a being of pestilence and filth, gleefully spreading blight and poison with every step. Great Unclean One. Cuchulainn is an obese monstrosity whose cyanotic flesh is covered with intricate scars and stretch marks. His limbs are bound within plates of rusted armour, and his eyeless face is set in a permanent ghoulish grin. His skin is covered with an oily film, and his every secretion is toxic. Most disturbingly, he can peel open his belly to spill out its revolting contents in a flood of filth. Unwilling Servant. Though undeniably powerful, Cuchulainn is not free to do as he pleases. When the Lucavi rose up against the gods and were defeated, the gods bound Cuchulainn to the Scorpio glyph, a powerful sigil that restricts his movements. He can only manifest on the material plane during the month governed by the Scorpio sign, and only in areas of great filth such as sewers or trash heaps. If mortal warriors should encounter and defeat Cuchulainn during this time, they will obtain ownership of the Scorpio glyph and Cuchulainn will have no choice but to serve them for the remainder of the month. |
