Daedalus

Daedalus rose above other soul butchers. He was fierce and vicious, even as soul butchers go, and none defied him. He silenced any dissenters when he killed and ate Grotus the Vast after Grotus challenged his superiority. While soul butchers are violent and voracious, they’re intelligent, and do have a culture, and while cannibalism isn't unheard of, it definitely made a statement.

Daedalus led a fearsome group of soul butchers that marauded around the lands of Greyhaven. After a successful raid, they would retreat to the Eerie with their spoils. They were feared and fearless, until the day that Ida and Lo Jeong sealed the Eerie, and their lair.

Unwittingly trapped underground, they had to forge a new way of life. Luckily for Daedalus, there were plenty of other creatures who were also stuck there.

The soul butchers would not go hungry.

When the shadow lord made his domain among the Eerie, Daedalus was not pleased. He confronted the shadow lord, who wasted no time establishing its dominance by ripping the massive tongue from Daedalus' gaping maw. Rather than simply killing him, however, the shadow lord accepted him as a servant. He knew of the soul butchers' appetites. They would bring many more souls to him if allowed to live.

To hide his shame, Daedalus fashioned a huge suit of armor that hid his mouth from the other soul butchers. He only removes his armor in private now, and when he eats, it is in solitude. None of the other soul butchers have dared to question his reclusive behavior, at least not yet. For the time being, he continues to lead the soul butchers of the Eerie, making the most of his forced imprisonment, slaying and devouring the weaker creatures they now shared their home with.

Despite his misfortune, Daedalus is rather content with his new way of life. He still fears the shadow lord, but it rarely interferes with his activities, and on occasion actually provides him with prey. In exchange, the shadow lord adds his victims' souls to his ever-growing collection.
