| Perched atop the Narrow Maze was Visage, a dreadful gargoyle form to which the eternal spirit Necro'lic was bound. Tasked with hunting down those who escape the afterlife, Visage instills Grave Chill in his prey, impairing them while augmenting his speed. He reaps their essence with Soul Assumption, gathering energy from the anguish they felt before releasing it in a devastating attack. Protected by the Gravekeeper's Cloak, the gargoyle's ablative layers deflect both steel and spells. His deadly Familiars scout the land for runaways as Silent as the Grave. On his command, they harass their prey, dropping down to earth as Stone Statues to restrain the captive for their master's impending arrival. | |

Bio
[edit]It is one thing to animate a corpse from beneath the ground. It is another to rip a soul from beyond the veil.▶️Visage, the Bound Form of Necro'lic
Alias:
Necrolic
Lore:
Perched atop the entrance to the Narrow Maze sit the looming shapes of sneering gargoyles, the paths into the hereafter forever in their gaze. Beasts and birds, men and monsters, all creatures that die and choose to travel beyond must someday pass beneath their sight. For an untethered spirit, the decision to journey through the veil of death is irrevocable. When chance comes, and by craft or cunning some restless soul escapes their hells and heavens, it is the dreaded gargoyle Visage, the bound form of the eternal spirit Necro’lic, who is dispatched to reclaim them. Ruthless and efficient, unhindered by the principles of death and fatigue, Visage stalks its prey without mercy or end, willingly destroying all which may give shelter to the fugitive essence. That which flaunts the laws of the afterlife may never rest, for while it is true that the dead may be revived, it is only a matter of time before Visage finds and returns them to their proper place.

Trivia
[edit]- Visage's rivalry line towards Keeper of the Light ▶️ "You shall not pass!" is a direct quote from Gandalf: "You shall not pass!"[1]
- In Deadlock, Ivy's Stone Form ability may be inspired by Visage's Stone Form, both turning the turning into stone and dropping from the sky, dealing damage and stunning enemies in an area, and becoming impervious for the duration, healing back some health.
- In DotA, Visage's full title is just Necro'lic.
- Warcraft 3 similarities:
- Visage uses the model of the Spirit Wind Rider, a campaign-only unit.
- The model is essentially the Wind Rider, without the orc riding it, in its spirit form.
- The Familiars use the model of the Gargoyles, a flying Undead unit.
- The Familiars' Stone Form is based on the Gargoyles' Stone Form.
