[edit] Character history
Hwen and his wife Carmen were hired to investigate two corpses who's vital signs were reading normal. While preforming tests, the bodies, which as it turns out were charged with necromantic energy, came to life and attacked Hwen and Carmen. During the fight they revealed the name Master Darque. This was the first real paranormal experience for Hwen and Carmen and Hwen set out to find Darque.
Tracing the necromantic activities of Master Darque to Ladakh, Tibet, Here Hwen confronted Darque who immediately absorbed Hwen's life force in order to add it to his own. However, just as the Darque Power released by Hwen's death was at its peak, Carmen's love for her husband anchored him to this reality. Hwen became a being of pure energy -- a "positively-charged" being of necromantic power. The only problem is that Mirage is an intangible specter, unable to even touch the woman he conquered death to rejoin! In the seconds where Darque was shaken from Hwen's escape from death, Carmen and Hwen escaped the temple and headed home. During the escape, Hwen discovered that he could control energy when they were attacked by undead priests who had been sent by Darque. As it turned out Mirage was too powerful and Darque could use Hwen for his own purpose, an uneasy truce between Darque and Hwen was established.
When Hwen had depleted his energy level, he sought out Darque again but found his sister Sandria. She replenished his energy and revealed that he was 'the one'. The meaning of 'the one' was revealed during 'the Chaos Effect' where Hwen and Solar closed the rift leaking necromantic energy into the world.
[edit] Darque Power aka Necromantic Energy
Darque Power is the name given to the necromantic energy released when humans die. It's named after Master Darque, the world's foremost necromancer. Darque Power can be utilized for all sorts of magic. Silver acts as a natural conductor for the energy and it's been established that Electro-Magnetic Pulses can interfere with its processes.
