Devon has returned!
After Devon died in battle against Reptile in 1409, his body was cast into a river. Eventually, he was found by a powerful dark mage who wanted to enslave Devon and used unholy magic spells to fill Devon’s corpse with life again! Unfortunately, this creature needed a lot of fresh bodies to consume... so it started killing any kinds of life to regain strength, flesh and power. Initially, Devon was too weak to consume the life force of others just by himself; he needed the mage’s power to do that and to gain strength.
After some months of service, Devon slowly regained control over his own body and mind but was still too weak to escape the dark mage's castle. It took several more months until Devon was able to use his own magic against his former master: Devon locked the mage in a spell and slowly consumed his life force, as well.
For seven years, Devon used his power to consume life, gain strength, learn to control his new abilities and to build up an army of undead, which he also resurrected with his new powers.
Eventually, Devon killed the mage but made him the general of his army of undead while he would be some kind of “King of the Undead” himself.
Devon is a 'Wiedergänger'. In a sense he's not a real 'undead creature' because he's still in control of his own mind and personality. Driven by hate and the lust to kill he roams the land to consume life wherever he can find it. And eventually, he'll search for his old nemesis who killed him seven years ago: REPTILE!
A new age has begun... this is the dawn of the undead!
