Adartemos, better known by the alias of Murkwing, is a male villain native to another reality that currently resides on Primal Earth.
Description
In-game
"Adartemos is one of the twin emanations of the testing god Areunos, who roamed the multiverse seeking new experiences until he arrived at Primal Earth, where he adopted its trends and took on the alias of "Murkwing". His own nature as a god who tests mortals with toil and hardship often creates conflict with Earth's heroes, who perceive his methods as immoral and harmful. But for Murkwing this is good, as their trespass into his affairs will too test his own mettle, and lead him unto greater heights."
Full version
"Bright-eyed in both the literal and figurative sense, Adartemos is one of the two emanations of Areunos, a testing god from another universe. Born so that Areunos could have new experiences, Adartemos roamed many universes until he arrived at one which riveted him - Primal Earth, whereupon he adapted to its fads and took on "Murkwing" as an alias, using the meaning of his name as the basis.
A creature of curiosity by design, his own nature as a god who tests mortals with toil and hardship often leads him into conflict with those who regard his actions as immoral and harmful, primarily the so-called heroes of Earth. But for Murkwing this is good, as their trespass into his affairs will too test his own mettle, and lead him unto greater heights."
