Detailed Personality

A grumpy pony for sure, and given what he's studying, certainly isn't helping, but in case someone shows an interest in magic, or is quiet... fancy, he may open a bit, revealing a pony with a deep interest in knowledge, and a passion for story.

After finding something he don't like to talk about in the hollow quarter of Saddle Arabia, he sometimes keep rambling to himself.

However, better not asking him about Starswril. He and the Bearded had a rough discussion, just before the latter disappeared.... View More

Education

Given his status in Dark Bay, Veil recived a fine education, tutored by his family's fortune could grant, and after that the Sanctioned Academy of Arcane Magic and Astral Knowledge (or Saamak, for short). However, an incident that caused the death of a student, and the following war with the Dragon's threat, brought him to start his own studies and interest in arcane manufats that the majority of ponies would describe as "cursed, dark and sinister", making him look edgy, but for sure not a depre...

Detailed History

Born in the coastal city of Dark Bay, the major city of a region once known as Black Berg, Dark Veil was the second of five brothers of a rather wealthy family. Now, one may say "he hated them, right ?"... no, he didn't. Even if the habits of some were quiet questionable, his family was really unite, but if it wasn't for his Uncle Gray Copper, he would've not discovered some interesting properties of magic: even if conventional magic is almost impossible to manipulate by standard ponies, those s... View MoreBorn in the coastal city of Dark Bay, the major city of a region once known as Black Berg, Dark Veil was the second of five brothers of a rather wealthy family. Now, one may say "he hated them, right ?"... no, he didn't. Even if the habits of some were quiet questionable, his family was really unite, but if it wasn't for his Uncle Gray Copper, he would've not discovered some interesting properties of magic: even if conventional magic is almost impossible to manipulate by standard ponies, those spells that are considered as "dark" can be somewhat used. In some years, his powers manifested, and this granted him a passage to the prestigious academy of magic known as Saamak by many, an acronym standing for Sanctioned Academy of Arcane Magic and Astral Knowledge, where his powers were well welcomed.

Years passed, and his studies conducted him not on a road of misery, but of interest and study, proving that even a simple earth pony can become a skilled sorcerer.

However, one day his fortune finished.

During a fight with another student, his powers got the best on him, and this, other than damaging the Academy, killed one of his peers and severally damaged others, this been the main reason he was exiled by Saamak and branded as a "warlock", a title that brought him a time of misfortune and poverty.

But with the advent of the second Draconic War, his abilities served well the equestrian Emperor of the times, and after the end of the conflict, this brought him a new life, this time more controlled, and new material to study from the secret chambers of the draconic lord of the dragons, Prince Dagghart.

As time passed, his studies brought him in the Hollow Quarter of Saddle Arabia, in a place forgotten by the Gods themselves. He still have problems in speaking of that place, and keep telling his memory is fuzzy of those days, especially for the fact he don't remember of been away from Equestria for 6 years.

At the moment, he lives in a fortress just outside the Crystal Empire, where he and his students experiment on new forms of magic and spells... and ranting of the "kids of this days".
