Jango, the Lord of the Night
Dark and brooding. Jango has power over the night, and, in times past, spent most of his time formulating various plans to seize control of the three realms. But, of late, he has remained hidden, choosing instead to observe the Cleft, refine himself, and wait until he finds something interesting to get involved with.
At one point he was married to Sarai, the goddess of the moon and guardian of hope. But, years ago, after he discovered her duplicity and treacherous actions against him in favor of the mortals of the Cleft, and Tenor, he took her into the Upper Realm and she has not been seen since.
Jango has been inactive for years following the disappearance of Tenor and Sarai, and it was thought that he was gone too. But, recently, there have been reports of things stirring in the deepest and darkest parts of the Cleft.
Avatars: Ravens, Bats, and other creatures of the night that aren't undead.

Cleft Origin Stories: Dark Wrath
My name is Jango.
Of course, that is not my full name, but one I have taken so that the thick-tongued inhabitants of this accursed realm have something to call me. I once was Jangolothien Li'Durondicannan, an outcast, an exile, a Dark Elf.
Exiled. No, I was more than that.
I was cursed. Never again could I walk in the light of day. Never again would I feel the suns welcome warmth on my skin. The moon was made my mistress, and I a child of the night. And for what?
In return for protecting my people, and saving them from utter destruction, I was cast down. I was made their scapegoat. They blamed me, ME, for the decline of our people's magic. They blamed me for allowing those barbaric humans to attack us. They accused me of using dark magics, and being in league with the Dark One.
They could not explain why their magic was failing when mine had not, nor could they explain how I, an elf, had summoned that demon to ravage the human army that threatened us.
So instead of being hailed a hero, I was cast out.
Humans thought me a vampire and elves saw the taint of the curse on me.
Trying to live under such conditions had proved time and again nigh impossible.
I killed many a hunter that came seeking to carry my head back as a trophy.
I narrowly escaped the assassins blade sent by my own kin countless times.
I was forced to steal what food and other supplies I could, me, one born of
noble elven blood.
The few years spent living like some beast in the wild finally broke something
in me. My people had cursed and despised the one that had saved them.
I would have my revenge. I was treated so unjustly, that the whole of the
elven nation deserved my wraith. I would bring down on them the worst thing I
could conjour. I would rain death down on their heads until they had no other
choice but to call on me to save them once again. I would make them recant
their accusations and lift the foul curse that kept me away from the beauty
of the sun.
With the use of a black crystal I had found in my youth, I summoned Meteor.
Something went horribly wrong that day. A fluke, a chance occurrence that
threw my whole plan spinning into chaos.
The sun that I had missed for so long went supernova.
The result was cataclysmic. The Meteor crashed into the exploding star,
showering the whole of our planet with flaming chunks of Meteor and our
once glorious sun. A rift in space-time formed where the sun had once hung,
drawing all manner of things from and around our planet into it.
As the planet broke up around me and I started to fall up into nothing,
I thought that I had surely destroyed the entire universe.
And I was vindicated by that....
