Backstory:

In the lore of Identity V, Ithaqua is a man with a tragic story. Born as a twin, he was abandoned at birth by his mother due to village superstitions. He was found and raised by another woman in the mountains. When he was young, a mob led by his twin brother, Nathaniel, took away his adoptive mother, accusing her of witchcraft. Ithaqua disguised himself as Nathaniel in an attempt to rescue her, but upon arriving, he discovered that she had already been brutally tortured to the point where she didn’t recognize him.

Appearance:

Ithaqua is an alarmingly slender and thin young man with pale, dark grey skin, wavy platinum blonde hair curling across his brow and tumbling down his shoulders, framing his face, and haunting blue eyes with pure black sclera and dull, icy blue irises. His arms are disproportionately bony, and his hands are unusually large and beast-like, with long, wizened fingers like branches. He wears a sleeveless, quilted navy vest with diamond lattice padding, a dull purplish-blue tunic with long, tapered sleeves, matching trousers with haphazard grey stitching, and snow boots made from animal hide. He wears a drastically tattered, dull purplish-black cloak with a large, white fur hood billowing out around his bony arms, and a matching hood with large, straight, pointed bat ears with tufts of white fur. Large, curved metal blades are bound to his legs with white linen bandages, serving as stilts, and three leather belts are secured around his throat, diagonally down his chest, and around his waist. Frost and crystallized ice sweep across his cloak and boots, and most of his face, except his eyes, are hidden beneath a bat-like, featureless white mask with two almond-shaped eyeholes. He hefts an alarmingly large, wooden ice axe with a sharp, twisted end, a somewhat misshapen blade wrapped in white linen bandages, and a traditional lantern with black, wooden frames, four fitted glass panes, and lashed together tightly with white linen bandages, glowing a faint, warm yellow dangling just below the blade in his right hand.
