The Guide

The Guide of the Dead
The Guide is entity dressed in gray robes. His face (assuming he even has a face) is hidden under the hood and the only visible part of his body are long pale arms. Guide is above the rules of physics and time and can exists at many places at the same time. People cannot see him, unless they are very close to death.

Guide is curious about the world and people he observes. He's especially interested about people interacting with souls (Pei splitting her soul with her prism or Narn Keter taking the soul of dying man for example) and often speaks to them, even if he knows that they can't hear him. He is always calm, no matter what happens. Guide can also delay someone's death, simply by not taking their soul. He did it with Bomb Master to prolong his painful death, as a punishment for all pain and suffering the killer caused.

Story
Drawings on the walls of prehistoric caves where human race came to be show, among many long gone species, tall slender entity with no visible face. Drawings that are over 10000 years old. Old lullaby from rural Anrain mentions the one who will wait for until the end. Legends the dragons passed from generation to generations mentions The Gray Man who was, is and will be forever. Kharr sing ancient songs about The Guide who takes you where you were always meant to be, but the real meaning of the songs was forgotten thousands years ago.

Humans, dragons, kharr, gods and demons, every intelligent race on Greavesoyl has their own stories about tall gray entity with no face. All with a common theme.

That he waits for you to guide you further.

In-game
The Guide excels at chasing low health enemies. His passive grants him high movement speed buff while his spells allows him to follow and lock-down the target. Guide should not engage fights, but he's awesome at cleaning up after the fight happens.

Trivia

 * Guide was based on the grim reaper. His initial design included scythe as a weapon and his title was "The Reaper".
 * His original passive allowed him to spawn skeletal horse, but it was later removed because other players could steal the horse.
 * Even Guide can't remove souls from people infected with the curse of undying.
