Nefario is the Cabalist of Dastard (Cowardice) who strikes terror into those who dare oppose him, whose symbol is the Raised Arms of Capitulation. As an Obsidian Cabalist, he is an ancient sorcerer of the Obsidian Order who has prolonged his life through twisted use of magic. He wields a unique Hood of Dastard and a Dastardly Vile Sword artifact that players who are able to defeat them may be able to loot. This horrible entity represents the anti-virtue of Deceit, and seeks to fulfill the Dire Prophecies by laying siege to the towns of Novia. When the planet of Dastard is in a constellation, he will attack towns that have devotionals associated with that virtue.
