Cinder [Dungeons&Dragons]

Death should have been final, but it wasn't.

Swindle died, and when his consciousness was slam dunked back into his body with a white-hot explosive force that leveled the Shrine of Pharos and reduced it to ash, little was retained of his past life.

Where Swindle was a bastion of healing magic and verdant growth, Cinder is a vessel of fire and destruction. His once beautiful appearance and charming voice is now a burnt out husk of what it once was. Cinder stands as an anathema to everything Swindle held dear; a miserable ghost of his former self, driven forward by a clawing and insatiable hunger that is not his.

It's always fun when a character gets a story-relevant redesign. I couldn't help but include a few side-by-side comparisons to his previous artwork.
