Legendary/Void/DefenseC tier

Introduction

What Fortus does

Everything in this kit runs through Fear. The A2 hits all enemies with an 80% True Fear chance, and both the A1 and A3 always crit a feared target, with the A3 also ignoring 30% DEF and gaining 10% damage for every Fear placed.

When a hit would be fatal, Fortus stays at 1 HP, heals to full and has an 80% chance to Fear every enemy.

Background

Even among his fellow Knights Revenant, Fortus is an enigma. Believed to be either a founding member of the Cult of K'Leth, or at least one of its first adherents, he is an ancient, baleful presence that seems to occupy a nebulous space, at once on the fringes of the cult, and within its inner circle. Fortus rarely speaks, and when he does it feels as though his words echo around directly within the listener's head, rather than first reaching their ears. His declarations are heeded and his commands obeyed by all but the most foolish or powerful of the other Knights Revenant.

Fortus has long cultivated his own adherents within the wider Cult of K'Leth. Acolytes who fall under his sway hail him as the Knight of Oblivion, and hold him almost as a demigod, the disturbing, tentacled visage of his helmet is recreated in shrines, upon shields, and as tokens and necklaces. Within this group he decides who will be blessed with soul transposition, and his apparent seniority among Knights Revenant make him a figure worthy of particular reverence for many cultists further afield. This bloc within the Cult of K'Leth certainly enhances his standing, to such an extent that some other Knights Revenant fear he may one day head a schism.

Nobody knows Fortus' origins, nor have they even seen what lies beneath his strange, disturbing helm. This is probably for the best, it is argued by those who know him, as his true identity would surely be too much for the sanity of both mortals and immortals alike. Perhaps due to the cephalopod-styled crafting of his wargear, some claim he hails from the Lost Isles. Maybe he was the captain of a long-since wrecked ship, or the leader of a band of seaborne mercenaries. A particularly intractable belief among his servants and acolytes is that he was the king of one of the Lost Isles that was submerged forever beneath a vast tidal wave long ago. In this theory Fortus alone survived, spared by fate for a higher purpose. Fortus neither confirms nor denies such claims, but his actions are certainly those of one well-accustomed to being the bearer of authority.

In battle, Fortus wields a huge broadsword known as the Voidreaper. The weapon seems to possess an uncertain nature, its blade constantly flickering, as though it isn't wholly present in the reality which Teleria occupies. It can phase through the heavy armor of a knight of the Sacred Order, the muscle of an Ogryn, and the throat scales of a Lizardman warrior with equal ease, and send the souls of its victims tumbling into oblivion. In truth, however, the accursed sword is the least deadly of Fortus' armaments.

Any who are in Fortus' presence cannot help but suffer a deeply unpleasant, unsettling sensation. Some describe it as a physical discomfort, such as a biting cold or a splitting headache, while others find their mind wandering to terrible things, confronting their own mortality or pondering the yawning horrors of oblivion. For his own part, Fortus seems to do nothing to inspire these experiences, but when his ire is roused, or he specifically directs his will while in combat, the effect is even more pronounced. Opponents collapse, screaming, or claw at themselves in bouts of insanity as their greatest fears are realized and their mental defenses crumble as they find their minds beset by nightmares spawned out of a realm that no being in Teleria should ever be exposed to. Even other Knights Revenant seem discomforted by the Knight of Oblivion's presence, and no one can quite banish the sensation of clammy, suckered tentacles sliding over their throats and shoulders or latching around their wrists and ankles whenever he fixes his attention on them.

Quite what Fortus is, or what his ultimate goals are, remain as enigmatic as the Knight Revenant himself. The only certainty is that mere mortals will not long withstand the future he has planned with either their bodies, or their souls, intact.
