NAME: Olb

And if the Devil - he's your Puck -
Waved his claw to bring you luck
You'd get it then worse still."

Abilities: He can fade into the darkness and shadows to the point of becoming invisible. Also, it is almost impossible to know just what he is paying attention to, mostly due to his lack of pupils. It is also possible that his white eyes can see more of the world than normal sight allows.
Personality: Olb is very cold emotionally, and operates in a very detached manner. He lacks compassion completely, though he tends to hide this with false pretenses and statements in order to win alliances. He is ruthless in his dealings with others, and is as skilled at keeping his thoughts and intentions hidden as he is at hiding himself.

In spite of his gifts of keeping out of sight, he enjoys other peoples attention. Thought not entirely a showoff, he does take pride in his appearance and seldom passes up the chance to let others admire him. This is also because admirers can easily become supporters, and supporters can be useful tools.

There are few actions Olb won't stoop to, but he strives to keep his callousness from becoming widely known. A bad reputation is a serious hindrance, and one he doesn't need, so he always keeps his fingers unseen in all of his shady and amoral dealings. This means that one can seldom be completely sure of whether or not he is involved in any endeavors, and this uncertainty is something he enjoys immensely in his opponents. Those that still live, that is....
Ambitions: Power, and lots of it. Either as the husband of a house Matriarch, or as the consort of the Queen herself. Though even that isn't necessarily enough for him. He yearns for a greater degree of magical aptitude too, and wealth and land won't go amiss either. Actually, just 'more' describes most of what he wants out of life.
Fears: That people will find out what he is really like. That he will lose what power and riches he has. That someone will submit him to some of the treatments he has inflicted on others. But these are vague fears, as he has his feelings in a tight grip, and won't let them influence him much.
Likes: Silver fascinates him more than anything else. Worthy opponents are something he treasures, as they let him hone his abilities. Clueless opponents are fun too, because they make him feel superior.
Dislikes: Opponents who succeed against him. He hates that. Incompetent servitors. Tastlessness and tackyness (any use of gold is considered tasteless in his eyes).
Habits: He seldom speaks unless he is trying to achieve something. Otherwise he simply observes, and remembers information for later use.
Occupation: 
Tresured posessions: He isn't all that emotionally attached to individual pieces of property, but he does have a certain fondness for his most exquisite pieces of silver jewlery. Especially crafted just for him.
Quote:  "Ah, Dutchess, how splendid to see you again. I'm so sorry to hear about the disappearance of your son. He will be sorely missed."
