Haggarth

Haggarth is a character created by w:Victor de la Fuente. He was once an ordinary woodcutter who, in the course of doing his job, encountered Prince Haggarth, the leader of the Highlanders, on his way home after steeling the Skull of Five Serpents, a powerful relic, from the Lowlander temple. They fought, and the woodcutter managed to injure Haggarth mortally with his axe, but was blinded in return by one of the Highlanders. He was then found by an old man who took him to visit Druscilla, a hag who lived in a pocket dimension. Unable to accept his blindness, the young man allowed Druscilla to behead Haggarth, plop his head into a pot of boiling magical herbs, then peel off his flesh and skin and pull them down over his head, in a mystical operation that restored the boy's eyesight. Unfortunately, he was now cursed to live with Haggarth's spirit intertwined with his own and wearing Haggarth's face. Although he was not the real Haggarth, who was dead, the boy took his name and his been called Haggarth ever since. He went on to locate and destroy the Skull of Five Serpents.
