Magelord Akmyrios appears in mage robes, then in a hood and mask, his identity hidden behind formal layers and a deep voice. Burned by sablefyre, his hands are left raw as his skin melts away; his eyes dissolve, leaving empty sockets. He is found beside the altar with the milky remnants of his eyeballs beside him.

Description

Akmyrios wears a purple velvet cloak and purple-and-black robes, at times with a hood drawn over his head and a black mask concealing his face. His long black nails and black onyx ring are distinctive. When unmasked, his face is twisted in fear; later, his empty eye sockets and the milky remnants of his eyeballs are visible beside him.
