Nefarian Crane (The Steampunk Adventures of Sorcerer's Apprentice)

Nefarian Crane (aka. Scarred Man) is the main antagonist of The Steampunk Adventures of Sorcerer's Apprentice spin-off titled "Broken Bird and Man Whom Only Learn Hate". He is a scarred human-turned vampire with strong hatred for maguskind as result of being a guinea pig of evil sorcerer that happened to be member of the said race. Worse, result of his transformation also made him became a terrifying abomination whom vampirism proved more lethal that regular vampires, even so lethal that the black plague that occured in middle ages more like a mere square dance.

In Desolation of the Abomination, it was stated that his childhood name was Koba, though this actually a name that Crona wrote to hide his actual name.

He serves as main antagonist of the second tetralogy of The Steampunk Adventures of Sorcerer's Apprentices alongside Maxim "Zacros" Horvath.

Personality
Due to enduring negative treatments from maguses whom he knew during his childhood and later painfully turned into a living weapon at hands of a mysterious evil magus,  Crane developed into a complete, sociopatic individual whom despises maguskind indiscriminately and also despised half-magus (humans whom have magus blood in their veins due to one of their parents were magus). He loathes them so much that he disgusted when they demonstrate human-like emotions like love and caring, viewing them as nothing more than lifeless monsters though not above manipulate them for his gain if it necessary. In addition, he showed no compunction in injuring and killing someone just because they protect a member of magus and half-magus race like. He also possessed high intelligence that allowed him to manipulate people for his gain in spite of his sociopathic traits,  as seen when he framed Broken Bird so she would be hanged for the "supposed crime", he uses villagers' fear toward her for his advantage.

Crane idolized Uther Pendragon because like himself, Uther despised maguskind. Uther was known for his hatred against maguskind and anything that related to magic, but unlike the tyrant, Crane's hatred only focused more on the maguskind only, given that he himself has turned into super vampires whom considered as creature of magic. In spite of this, he considered other magical beings as mere cattle for the vampires.

While he appeared to be ruthless, Crane did genuinely seem to care about his fellow Utherians. This behavior was likely a strong pack mentality that he shared with his fellow vampires like regular vampires would; however, his ability to showing affection and loyalty was inferior as such feelings in him not developed in normal age unlike other people due to his painful past.

Powers and Abilities
Thanks to his high intelligence, he was exemplary as both mastermind and master manipulator, giving that he easily frames Broken Bird with and uses their fear toward her as his advantage.

As vampire, whom experimented as living weapon in form of vampiric monster, was implied possesses all of vampires' strength and weaknesses, and also their contagious vampirism. But due to the said experiment, his vampirism was more deadlier, to the point that Dr. Reilich stated that the pandemic that he potentially caused would surpassed that of black plague.

When Raido opened his Encantus to see anything that it recorded about Tlob, he was shocked that it depicts her backstory that highly similar with Broken Bird's, something that for him, doesn't make any sense. As this implies that Tlob IS the Broken Bird, then Scarred Man would appeared in the future chapter of the series. Given that he was directly responsible for misfortunes that Broken Bird and also implied to be able to caused pandemic that would surpassed black plague, his future presence in the series makes the possibility of a dark outcome much more likely.
