Archmagus Hadrien of the Secret Fire

With very little hesitation, Hadrien quaffed the potion (with much gusto). Expecting a flash of bright, he was only met with a tiny poof of smoke and a strange tingling sensation. It felt as if someone had gently reached into his soul and pulled out all of the hurt, the sadness, the things that made him unhappy, destroyed everything else and put it right back inside, leaving him with nothing but hatred in his heart.

This was actually Hadrien's soul splitting into two. The potion, while granting him immortality, it also separated the evil and the good, creating two separate (but equally handsome) Hadriens. Evil Hadrien would immediately flee the cave, not realizing what had happened.

Scared, in pain, and filled with the hatred of a thousand wars, Hadrien lashed out to the world around him. Burning entire forests, ransacking villages, dismantling entire kingdoms, in an attempt to quell the raging anger within. Of course, nothing could satiate the hunger because he was, in essence, hatred incarnate. Until he reunited back with his other half, he would only know pain.

Everywhere he went, a shroud of darkness followed, plummeting many places into eternal darkness. There was no rhyme or reason to the chaos. Well, not at first anyway. Flitting from realm to realm, stealing as much light and happiness as possible. This would go on for what felt like eons (but really was just a few weeks).

Eventually, because of the great swathes of chaos he was sowing, the Greater Chaos Elemental would find interest in Hadrien (the evil, but equally good looking Hadrien). Being a literal manifestation of Chaos, the elemental was able to help Hadrien calm his bloodlust and rage, in exchange for swearing fealty to the Chaos Realm.

Hadrien was quick to agree, if for no other reason than to quiet the raging typhoon of emotions flurrying in his head. The binding ritual ensured that Hadrien and the Greater Chaos Elemental would be bound for eternity.

While the elemental fully intended on taking over Hadrien's body and mind, it was unprepared for the sheer willpower Hadrien's consciousness exuded. It was only a moment or two before Hadrien had completely consumed the Greater Chaos Elemental, and gaining incomprehensible power and control over the Chaos realm.

The ritual ended successfully and the two were bound as one. Hadrien's power expanded beyond mortal comprehension, as he essentially became the new Greater Chaos elemental. Though this would mean he would need to spend time in the Chaos realm to survive, he would able to come and go as he pleased...

Excited at having finally achieved immortality and infinite power, Hadrien set off in search of one last adventure...baking.
