History: A sadistic doctor obsessed with slowly tearing his victims apart, he sought this artefact in the hopes that it would help him in his 'urges', and to bypass his own mortality.
Type: Demonic
Appearance: A long, spectral chain with a large serrated hook on the end, wrapped upon the mortal's dominant arm.
Spirit: A hungry, immortal presence known as the Nothing.
Age: As ancient as the concept of bogeymen.
History: The Nothing was an ancient, terrible power, feared by demons and men alike. It wandered the land, taking for itself the souls of all it walked upon. It slew all it saw, demon, human, elf, or otherwise.
Eventually, at great cost, the humans and demons allied to seal it into it's own weapon, a long, spectral chain with a serrated hook, used to consume and torture the souls of those it wounded. The legend of bogeymen stemmed from the sightings of the Nothing.
The chain was sealed away, in the hope no mortal or immortal would ever use such a weapon. Until now.
