Sebastian Haege - Amethyst Wizard


The call of the Amethyst Wind is the voice of death.  The wizard known as Sebastian Haege did not always  hear the Reapers whisperings, he once sought enlightenment from the celestial bodies above.  The coming of Chaos changed everything.  Assigned to protect a minor noble, Haege discovered that his charge was in league with the enemy and sought to subvert all around him into damnations embrace.  Sebastian refused to leave Sigmar's light, even pleading with the lord to pray to Sigmar for forgivness. 

For his compassion Sebastian was crucified upon a wheel, a farmers scythe driven through his abdomen and left to bleed out.  In his last moments the winds changed and he heard the voice of death whisper his name and offered salvation and vengence.  With his final breath he pledged himself to his new master.  Sebastian awoke as if from a dream, but in his hand was the scythe, drenched in his own blood.  He heard the Lord's name and knew it was time to collect the debt owed.  Like a ghost he slipped through the walls and entered the manor's dinning hall.

The Lord lay bathing in a pool of blood upon the floor.  Around the room the massacred bodies of those who he had seduced lay in pieces, all marked as testaments to the Lord's bloody affair with Chaos.  Sebastian could see the souls of the slain, and how each had been bound to a ritual.  The Lord, lost in elation, unaware of the fell ritual he had conducted or the enitity he was soon to be possed by, did not notice the Reaper's shade approach.  As the first painful twinge of chaos's embrace wracked the Lord's body, it was also his last.  Weilding the bloody scythe intended to slay him, Sebastian used it to cut the head off the Lord.  

When he returned to Altdorf, he did not return to his Celestial Studies, but instead drifted into the Amethyst School and prostrated himself before the school's master.  Since that day Sebastian has been considered by many chosen of death and the collector of souls.  The wise in Altdorf know that if death is cheated, then they can expect Sebastion Haege to come and collect Death's Debt.
