*Name: Dread Lord Victor Alistair Norman Bolton IV
Nickname: Lord Bolton, The Dread Lord
*Age: 42 (428)
*Gender: Male
Weapon(s): Stiletto, Skinning knife
*Number: 2
*Personality:Much of Lord Bolton's personality is in what he does not do or say. Victor was taught at a young age that words were precious. God had granted man the ability to speak so that they were above that of the animals. Of all things this lesson stuck. Bolton rarely says what does not need to be said and when he does speak it is softly. The second Espada is quiet and reserved but has an air of violence and aggression that seems to poison the air around him. His disregard for the lives of lesser hollows and humans is renown throughout all worlds. Everything in Lord Bolton's mind is a check list. people are objects to be used and his goals are more important than anyone he can manipulate. Order is also drastically important to the Dread Lord. He will follow his orders to the T and will expect his subordinates to do the same, unless they desire harsh consequences. Actions speak louder than words as well. Every action that Victor takes is planned and well executed. From just taking a few steps to killing someone everything has it's purpose and was considered, losing your cool is the first way to wind up dead.
*Physical Appearance:
The Dread Lord looks like a noble should. He is clad almost entirely in dark tailored finery that have seen much use. His dark satin and silks are covered by a heavy battered breastplate that bears his former house's banner on the chest ( A ebony wvyern flaring it's wings)
The second Espada's stature is not half as impressive as the man himself. He is a very tall, around six foot five, ghastly slender man with sunken features and pale skin. Just by his stature the Dread Lord looks as though he might drop dead from some disease at any moment. However, his limbs are long and covered in corded muscle that has become ever more powerful in death.
Lord Bolton's face is that of a cruel man. He has a long and narrow face structure with sunken cheeks made more shocking by his sharp facial bones. his high forehead turns to a somewhat greasy mop of shoulder length black hair that frames his intense features. Most of all though his focused and cold gray blue eyes peer out from his face like the heartless gaze of a predator.

*Bio:
Lord Bolton speaks little or not at all on his past. he lets other speak for him. What is positive though is that once he was a noble. He lived in the Templar states until the Vatican's purge of the order and then fled to North Africa. There reestablished himself as a knight and noble. Ite was not life that motivated the living lord Bolton though. He wanted revenge. His life, land, and powr had been snatched down by those greedy souls in the service of their greedy God. He devoted himself to finding old dark arts once practiced by the church and tried to turn them against Mother Church's people. This carried on for years and years. It carried on until he found what needed. He needed an eternity to destroy his foe. he needed death. So death he took.
After he had taken his own life and saw what was truly behind the veil he knew his true foe. Those who would sit above him and dictate that he was evil. These shinigami, these angels. His anger grew. Soon he was that of a possessed demon. He could do nothing but grow stronger and kill these "soul reapers". He wanted nothing else other than their death. He would ally himself with those who served his cause and discard them when they were no longer needed. This practice made him highly powerful and feared. Eventually he arrived and offered his service to the next cause. His prowess was nothing short of legendary. How could he be refused. However, there are whispers that he has his own goals. That he only helps the Espada because he needs their help before he betrays them. Time will tell...

*Name: Death's Shadow
*Sealed form: His blade takes the form of the ornate long sword he used in life. The weapon is forty inches in length from tip of blade to pommel. On the pommel rests a large star garnet set in white gold. The cross-guard is carved into twin wvyern heads that face either direction.
* Resurrection: The Dread Lord was just a man before his resurrection. After he is the very face of death. His sword and physical body become less than human, twisting and turning into a black writhing mass of inky semi-solid tendrils. In this form Bolton can twist his shape into anything he desires. He can drop down into a puddle of think black ooze and move quickly across the floor or turn into a mass of reaching tendrils. His body does not truly disappear though. Instead he is always at the center of his mass however he may not be viable. The most common way he attacks in this form is to morph his tendrils into spikes and thrust them at his foes or to turn them to blades or shields.

*Call out phrase: "Shapeless Darkness!"
Any abilities/techniques:
The Hounds of House Bolton: Perhaps the favorite technique of the Dread Lord. This attack is a varient on the basic spear attack he uses. Instead of a spear he turns the end of his tendril into a vicious dog with spear-point teeth and snaps them at his foes, trying to rip them asunder.
Skin Render: Sometimes precision is no longer needed. This attack is designed to strike a vast amount of area. The tendrils of Death's Shadow wrap around Lord Bolton and are quickly expelled in all directions. Each droplet of black ooze is disc shaped and razor sharp. After this attack Bolton is left dripping black liquid and without his weapon. However, he can call back his tendrils at will. The discs fly back to thier lord in the same way they left, razor sharp and moving fast.
All Seeing (Passive Ability): At any time the Second Espada can open innumerable eyes that cover the surface of his tendrils. These eyes let him see where ever they are pointing and can also be used to fire bala cero from their pupils.
Bone to Ash: The Dread Lord's most destructive ability. An attack that would reduce nearly any foe to nothing but a memory with a direct hit. The implementation is somewhat basic, but the effect is awe inspiring. The black ooze forms a small wall and numerous eyes open on the side facing the target. In a flash the Dread Lord leaps from the center of the wall, his hand grasping a ball of energy. Each eye fires a continuous cero at the target as Lord Bolton unleashes a massive Gran Ray Cero to finish them off. Even if the attack does not strike usually the area is so demolished after the attack that his foe's cause is lost. The amount of energy that is consumed by this attack is staggering. Not only does it leave Victor exhausted but his released ooze is incapable of reforming for nearly a minute. While The Dread Lord can still move and strike with his hands during this time he can not call on the aid of Death's Shadow. This can leave him highly vulnerable if his attack misses or their are more opponents.
