Marchosias
Elder Xubo’s apprentice and the Mooncursed Beast
Elder Xubo prizes Marchosias for the courage and ruthlessness he brings to a fight, and wants him to share the clan’s responsibilities with Stryche. The Blood Moon Clan demands Marchosias lead alone. He claims Voland’s skull for himself, and his hold on the bear’s spirit strengthens the bestial side of his followers.
Marchosias blames Stryche’s moonfire ritual for stripping the Eclipsed Ones of what humanity they had left. He believes that anyone whose beast overpowers their human will is lost to it for good. He shatters Stryche’s moon-forged blade, leaving the Hero to face him alone.
