History: Lucifer (Black Death) was a Barghest Cub who was apparently orphaned but was found by Madjerik the Unseelie Lord and His Worg (At the time) Magith. Like with some wolf mothers, She adopted Him as her own cub, raising Him as a Worg to serve perhaps as Madjerik's Steed once she had died. When Magith was killed by the driders, He was then raised by the rest of His Magith's pack and Madjerik's servants..proving too difficult to control. Hence He was Named "Lucifer" by the Goblinoid servants of the Unseelie Lord.
However, Lucifer began a long-standing friendship with Madjerik's son Dhrorno. treated as He was by the young chief, Lucifer became more and More settled, Following Dhrorno's orders out of Loyalty than a sense of being Dhrorno's Pet. Later He met the Drowess z'almizzar, and His life changed.
He left Dhrorno's service with the goblin chief's blessings, and began to live with her and sweetmyst as z'almizar's pack brother, and potential mate.
It was here that He began to learn about His true nature bit by bit. First by unconsiously changing into His Goblinoid form during some kind of twisted dream. He then began to learn He was of a tribe called the Barghest, a race of Goblinoid Garou, and sub tribe of the black Spiral dancers.
He was then sent to Baator by Madjerik to learn more about His abilities and to become a warrior under His bretheren's Strict regimine. He returned to z'almizar a stronger, more well honed warrior and later He rescued her from the Outback where she was taken by a serial rapist/murderer Mister gone. Although He took her home, His Mind was held captive by Gone, and later was being summoned to Join the Black Spiral. z'almizar and the Goblin Psycopath Elspeth rescued Black Death from the Spiral by initiating a bond between Himself and z'almizar to keep Him from being corrupted by the Spiral.
He now, armed with the knowledge of His true path...He seeks to remain free of the black spiral..and to help z'almizar achieve her true destiny.
