Pre-Conjure Socar

Ankou named Socar
Appearance: Socar manifests as the embodiment of death, a gaunt and spectral figure, draped in a heavy, tattered cloak of darkest charcoal grey that seems to absorb all light around it. Beneath the hood, Socar's face is a skull-like visage, skeletal and hollow, with deep, empty eye sockets that hold an infinite, ancient wisdom, occasionally appearing as faint, swirling mists of blue-grey. A wide-brimmed, shadowed hat often obscures its features further, adding to its mysterious and solemn presence. One hand, skeletal and long-fingered, clasps the pole of its formidable scythe, its blade glinting with a cold, almost ethereal light. Socar's movements are slow, deliberate, and utterly silent, carrying an unsettling inevitability. The very air around Socar feels cold, still, and carries a faint, earthy scent of ancient soil and forgotten things. Its form is devoid of flesh, a stark skeletal form under the cloak, embodying the ultimate transition.
