The whip that ushers the dead through the Narrow Maze brings just as much pain on the battlefield. Razor deploys a sweeping ring of Plasma Field to fry his enemies, he Links his foes to drain them of their power and use it against them. The Lightning Revenant is accompanied by an extraordinary Storm Surge. With a deadly lightning storm at his command, often times his foes found themselves entangled within the Eye of the Storm before even realizing it, as Razor watches and delights in his work as bolts of lightning reduce his foes to charred remains.

Bio

I bring my lightning whip not to punish souls, but only to hasten them toward the inevitable exit.

Lightning Revenant

Lore:

Among the emblematic powers that populate the Underscape, Razor the Lightning Revenant is one of the most feared. With his whip of lightning, he patrols the Narrow Maze, that treacherous webwork of passages by which the souls of the dead are sorted according to their own innate intelligence, cunning and persistence. Drifting above the Maze, Razor looks down on the baffled souls below, and delivers jolts of scalding electricity that both punish and quicken the souls as they decide their own fates, hurrying on toward luminous exits or endlessly dark pits. Razor is the eternal embodiment of a dominating power, abstract and almost clinical in his application of power. Yet he has a lordly air that suggests he takes a sardonic satisfaction in his work.
