Tainted Vessel: The Nightmare Warrior

History
The Nightmare Warrior was a failed vessel created by the Pale King to create the Hollow Night. The Nightmare Warrior was unable to succeed in ascending from the Abyss and instead had to find another way out of the abyss. Similar to the other escaped vessels The Nightmare warrior did manage to leave the abyss, and on its war it grew stronger, and began to bare a similar form to that of the Pure Vessel in its prime, but on the way the Nightmare Warrior, somehow was tainted by the Nightmare Heart, corrupting its power and bending its will. It then made its way to the Howling Cliffs where it lies dormant feeding off of the nightmare essence it gathers from travellers.
