Typifying Exerpt

"…the demons had barbed tails and bat-like wings like blackest soot, glowing red eyes, and they blew gouts of indigo flames a hundred yards long. They swept the decks for victims, feasting on the crewmen, and when they were done they flew aloft and belched fire upon the ships. So hot was the flames, they all burned down to the waterline in mere minutes, and not one mate or hand of those doomed ships survived. The HMS Committed went down first and the HMS Sublime last, but all four ships were sunk within five ticks of the clock…" - Captain Halford of the HMS Halberd, circa 1893 AD.

Profile

Tudor Brezak is currently rated as a Tier-2 threat. Extreme caution is recommended.

Tudor Brezak is a Magi, and has demonstrated very advanced Daemonology, advanced Invocation (calling on Infernal entities), and proficient Alchemical abilities. He commands powerful Tier-3 threat level Bound Daemons, and is also able to Pact an unknown number of equivalently powerful Daemons (at least five and perhaps as many as ten). Tudor Brezak is believed to be the master of the Cult of the Red Hand, and is often accompanied by esoterically capable lackeys and allies.

Known History

Tudor Brezak is believed to originally be from Wallachia in what is today Romania, and to be at least three hundred years old based upon a first account found in the writings of Dimitrie Pazvant, an Orthodox priest who attempted to protect his flock in Bucharest from a dark cult led by a man named Tudor Brezak in 1723. There are a number of other direct and indirect references to Tudor thereafter taken from esoteric accounts from around the Old World, firmly establishing his existence in that time period. Everything else related to Tudor's beginnings is marked as speculative, and various attempts at scrying both mystical and psychic have all met a veil and been unable to penetrate it.

Tudor Brezak has been known to lie about his origins, both blatantly and more subtly, and the Cult of the Red Hand has been known to perpetuate various tales as well. Analysts and crypto-historians should exercise scrutiny and discretion if presented with promising new leads in this area.

Known Motivation

Tudor Brezak's overall motivation is not known. He has demonstrated strong interest in anything pertaining to Daemonology and Diabolism, but with no discernable pattern or larger agenda. It is the opinion of Dr. Allosius Jones that Tudor Brezak does evil for the sake of doing evil, and this theory is the generally prevailing one at this time.

However, speculation aside, the involvement of Tudor Brezak in any scenario should be considered a significant threat escalation.

Known Abilities

Tudor Brezak is a powerful Daemonologists considered by experts to be one of the greatest ever (though not necessarily the most knowledgeable), combining broad and specific knowledge with an almost unmatched willpower. Further, he apparantly enjoys great favor from Infernal entities, able to Invoke them reliably. Additionally he employs a modest but very practical variety of Alchemical substances.

Per Dr. Allosius Jones, who has the most first hand experience with the subject of any Hunter living, Tudor Brezak also has a powerful protective aura, heals from damage very quickly, and can levitate.

On a few occassions Tudor has been reported to be dead, and his continued existence suggests some means of cheating or avoiding death (though such reports may simply have been mistaken).

Known Associates

Tudor Brezak is served by two Bound Daemons, a powerful Slayer named Baraerazil since the 1940's, and a Possessor Daemon named Aurhabazu intermittently over at least a century (Aurhabazu is sometimes Exorcised, and thus isn't always in existence in this world).

Tudor Brezak can summon a wide variety of other Daemons for temporary service.

Tudor Brezak is almost certainly the ultimate master of the Cult of the Red Hand, and uses the Cult to serve his purposes. The members of the Cult, and particularly its inner circle of leadership, are allies or servants of Tudor Brezak. Members confirmed to have a direct relationship with Tudor Brezak are Albert Armos, Sir Jonathan Bryce, Silvia Chan, Amy Mullis, Cayce Jaimes, and Tomas Vincent.
