A creature goes by many names, but 'Luca Thane' is the title given to this putrid being. The beast is nought more than a repulsive gurgling of pitch black mass; a writhing cocktail of tar, bearing a viscosity similar to thick crude oil and possessing a consciousness akin to a festering void. This greater demon came to be when the rotting flesh of massacred beasts merged, and gained foul consciousness.
Alas, the demon assumes a shape; a tall, muscle-bound male, pale and weathered in complexion. The man stands with arched poise, indicative of the brute strength which lies within, and bears the wide-eyed, blue glare of a predator. Dark hair falls upon Thane's rugged features, roughly cut short at the sides and fading into the dark shadowing of his jawline. His rising chest is painted with a concentration of inky, varicose veins; a sure sign of the black blood which flows within.
The mass which populates Thane's form is able to reshape itself at will. Inky wings may burst from his back, horrific teeth may jut from his jawline, and his fingers may sharpen themselves with black claws. When injured, the damaged tissue returns to its liquid foundation, and Thane is soon able to recover any lost limbs and organs by recollection.

Thane's monstrous reputation has painted him as an icon of terror, often referred to as The Warden. He serves as a collector, or a trapper of sorts; hunting and kidnapping humans for sale within the Midnight Meat Market. A cocktail bar dubbed The Seventh Circle serves as a somewhat classy front for the otherwise repulsive auctions that take place within. Bound to the service of the club's owner, Thane is given purpose through the use of a long list of names; a hit-list of those overdue for kidnapping.
The primary method of abduction is usually by home invasion, wherein Thane enters the target's home through its drainpipes and ventilation system. The person is most often taken alive, with death only being the consequence of a gruesome struggle. Patrons of the market are typically of the monstrous sort, and most commonly include flesh-eating beasts and vampires seeking blood bags and thralls. Few questions are asked upon entry and sale, though infiltrators are dealt with swiftly and efficiently.
Thane's work is carried out with an alarming sense of passion, fueled by the thrill of the hunt and the demonic satisfaction of being granted purpose. He is cruelly indifferent to human emotion, and is often extreme in his own emotions. Whilst Thane's identity is by far the strongest of all the creatures that merge within him, unfamiliar and stressful situations can cause these faces to collide and result in his body breaking down into something far more primal.
When not parading around in his human guise, Thane often assumes the silhouette of a black-furred hound, posing as some flavor of stray dog.
