Man at the Crossroads

The Man at the Crossroads is a powerful entity who showed up at many forms of crossroads, sometimes in the Hitherworld but mostly in the Etherworld. He appeared to be of average height, but on the thin side. His long narrow limbs were clothed in a pair of charcoal colored slacks and matching suit coat. The coat was buttoned over a bare chest, just showing the beginning of some scars beneath. His hair was shoulder length, and a deep rich red, streaked with black. At his temples there are to solid black locks of hair going back over his head. Vaguely reminiscent of horns. Strangely, his eyes are the same color as his hair. His real race was unknown, but he was most likely a fae, yugoluth or djinni. He offered deals, for a price. Your heart, your soul, your morality, your friends, your sanity, something that is a sacrifice was asked. The larger the request, the larger the price. He was summoned by carving a little known blood majick spell into one's own skin while in the center of a crossroads and calling out to him. His method of traveling between the planes is still unknown. He appeared near instantly to any that summoned him regardless of the distance to the nearest door. Any connection between him and Astoreth was purely consmetic. Astoreth may have even based part of his form on the Man at the Crossroads.
