All about one of my characters: Usor'An (Summation)

Destroyers are a type of demon. They live to be centuries old, age slowly (a 300 year old destroyer man looks like a 60 year old man) and look very humanlike. The only difference is that they have cloven hoofs for feet and sport a pair of horns. Some but not all have batlike wings. They are organised into various households which are like family clans but far bigger and with more influence on politics. Below are some symbols for five of the thirteen destroyer households. (left to right: Usor, Skeert, Cro, Wisha, Killia)
A destroyer has two name which form their name. The first is their house's name and the second is their personal name. A girl could be named Sue, but if she was in the Cro household she would be named Cro'Sue. Usor'An's personal name is "An", but since he is of the Usor household the name he goes by is "Usor'An".
Usor'An looks like a well built man of about fourty (he is 200 years old). He doesn't have wings and keeps his white hair long. Being a demon he is spiteful and wicked. He is not the insane madman that some villains are, but rather the witty and clever villain who is always one step ahead of the hero and is an expert at talking down to people. He's a warrior who fights with a huge war hammer and a small sword which is stored withing the hammer's hollow shaft. His black armor is decorated with a short cape of dark blue (to reflect the Usor symbol) and to show his status. He is almost completely fearless and the only person who can frighten him is Rook.
Usor'An is a typical villain in that he has a straightforward goal and that he is an object of fear to his enemies and friends alike. He is completely ruthless as villains should be and all-round evil. He plays a minor role in book 1, but when book 2 begins, he is thust into the spotlight as the arch enemy of Anar.
Thus far, my favourite thing he has said is "know that there are things, things such as you, that do not win the right to exist"
