The Dark Mage is a clone of Kristoph Langusten created by the Insurgency. This clone is a stolen consciousness backup of Kristoph uploaded into replica body of him. This was done in an attempt to create more nanobot mages to serve their cause. There were plans to make armies of Dark Mages, but only one clone was successfully made. After the end of the Virtual Wars, he continued finding work as a ruthless mercenary.
While his name is technically also Kristoph, he abandoned the name in favor of seeking his own identity. As thus, he only ever goes by his alias, the Dark Mage.
Appearance
The Dark Mage is identical in appearance to Kristoph with the exception of his choice of attire being in all black colors. His eyes are red instead of blue.
Personality
The Dark Mage's personality is best described as Kristoph's darkest thoughts brought to its surface. When he was created, he was brainwashed by the Insurgency into being a bloodthirsty killer. However, at the end of the Virtual Wars, he saw the Insurgency for how weak they were and chose to walk his own path. His goal is simply to become the most powerful nanomage there ever was - achieving total control of his nanobots without any limitations. He will do anything to seek out ways to improve himself and his abilities and push beyond the ethical bounds to essentially become a demigod. While he is willing to form alliances, he only does so out of convenience.
Skills and Abilities
The Dark Mage has an identical skillset to Kristoph though his fighting style is very different. The Dark Mage is not held back from the moral restraints of inflicting harm on others, and thus, his nanobot creations tend to be more direct and brutal. He is morbidly creative with his abilities. For example, he can send a cloud of nanobots that a target may accidentally breathe in, then the nanobots shred the target from the inside out. He can also be more direct by using his nanobots are giant blades to cleave his targets apart.
