Cathaior
The Gaelic Demon Warrior
After the brutal massacre of his small peaceful village, one man survived. Cathaior (Ka-heer), while rising to the Golden Gates of the Afterlife was dragged down into underworld by the manifestation of his greed and lust for power and retribution. There he encountered Death himself, and upon making a deal was returned to the earth as the undead demon, a shell of his former self. On his journey for revenge, Cathaior encounters those that shaped his former self and those that have shaped him into the demon he is today. What will become of those that have unjustly massacred his village and left him for dead? Will Cathaior fall deeper into darkness and forever be trapped inside undead demon?
