Scirocco
Overview
Scirocco is an Arch-villain who serves Arachnos under Lord Recluse. He also awards the patron power, Mu Mastery to villains who complete his patron arc.
Description
Imad Malak was not always an evil man. Evil came to him from without. He was traveling in the deep desert near the Baka Valley deep in the Middle East. There he discovered an ancient tomb and stumbled inside. The tomb was that of a long-dead desert hero, and contained several objects of power including the bottle of the djinn Serafina. Also within was the hero's scimitar that granted the weilder incredible powers. Malak took the sword and donned the mantle of Scirocco. Unforunately, he fell under a curse and was driven to commit acts of great evil. He sold the other objects off to the highest bidder, the bottle ending up with the Circle of Thorns. Once a hero of the people, he is now a dark stain on their proud heritage. Imad wishes nothing more than to find some way to rid himself of the curse and find redemption.
Notes
- This incarnation of Scirocco is not the same as Serafina's former master. It is most likely that the long-dead desert hero was.
- Scirocco means Desert Wind.
