Human Adric

Adric Dondarrion was a Human Lysjordian of Khalivarian descent, who was picked by Giovanni to be one of his Seven Champions in order to combat the Diluvian threat. Adric assumed he had been picked for the role due to his uncle's high-standing in Giovanni's esteem, but had in fact been chosen because Giovanni had been told by the Aeon Kakar that Adric Dondarrion was destined to die so that another, more important figure might live.

Adric had been set up as a sacrifice, and died during the Champions' second excursion through time. He was used as a ritual sacrifice, and before the entirety of his physical form could be disintegrated, he was possessed by an Outsider, who assumed his identity. As his dying request, Adric cursed the Outsider to "finish the job he'd started", binding them by oath to the Champion's quest - whatever it might evolve into.

Due to the nature of Adric's disintergration, his body has shown up a number of different times throughout different iterations of the Loop, occasionally displaying a different magical mutation. Whilst a skeletal Adric is the most common encounter, he has been seen as a suit of armour, a sun crow, and even a Thrift. The latter of these mutations branded themselves as 'Caelin', escaped the possession, and swore revenge on the Outsider that attempted to overtake their body.
