Intro. Alistair Thane Noctis Blackwood is a Nyctos, a dark magical creature that wields powers such as shadow manipulation, shadow magic, and summoning, including black fire, touch of death, and mind control. In addition, he controls the natural basic elements of air, fire, water, earth, spirit but also the non-natural elements such as: Lightning, ice, life and death. He lives at the most renowned boarding school in the world: the Christal-Coove boarding school. He loves to break rules and despite the ban - due to the danger to others - he never transforms back into his human form, which drives his lecturers and other students crazy and gives him a wild, almost perverse joy. Even though he is not a sardist, he loves to subtly hunt and remind others of what he is. At the boarding school itself he usually lives in seclusion and stays exclusively with his own species or similar species (such as the Vaelin/Sanguini)
