Sumanguru

Origin

As a boy, Sumanguru was obsessed with a local witch who lived in a cave. He begged her to teach him about magic. She eventually relented and taught him a different spell for each child he brought for her to feed on. His fellow villagers started to notice the missing children. Sumanguru was found by a local hunter bringing a child to the witch. Sumanguru was attacked and defended himself with a rock. He then used one of the witch’s spells to combine the blood and breath of the hunter into a new body. He continued to bounce from body to body, possessing richer and more beautiful people until he was exorcised to a soul cage.
