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 emanations of 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 emanations of Areunos, the Platonic form of struggle from another reality. 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."

Roles and epithets
- Adartemos ("Black-Winged" or "Murk-Winged"): epithet earned due to the colour of his wings, and which he adopted as his primary name. It was also used as the basis for his alias on Primal Earth.
- Olodehmós ("Abolisher of Nations"): in myths, Adartemos often joined the skirmishes between armies, sometimes fighting for one side and sometimes for neither, often with destructive results. As a result, many kingdoms and empires have fallen due to his (more often than not, unwanted) interventions.
- Marmaros ("Whisperer"): name given to Adartemos due to his tendency to cause strife by manipulating individuals.
- Adarktis: compound meaning either "the Winged Serpent" or "the Dragon", earned by both Adartemos's fondness for dragons, and his subsequent adoption of draconic elements for his physical form.
- Inviétor ("Hunter" or "Challenger"): one of the more infamous of Adartemos's methods of testing mortals is by abducting them and pitting them against each other in war games within his realm. In one variant of these games, Adartemos would personally hunt down his abductees, earning him the appelation of "Inviétor". Those who survived the night would then be released and granted great blessings.
