Lord Arbiter Hexeris revealed

Wayland Games has put up a picture and the fluffy description to go with Lord Arbiter Hexeris, also known as epic Hexeris. This confirms the recent rumours of Hexeris going epic which has been circulating for several months now.

Here's the man himself (courtesy of Wayland Games):

And here's his fluff text:

Through cunning, raw power, political acumen, and tactical genius, Lord Arbiter Hexeris has furthered his own schemes while simultaneously strengthening the Skorne Empire. The lord arbiters occult knowledge goes well beyond the lore of the skorne, and no enemy arcanist is safe from his vampiric thirst for mystical secrets. To oppose him in battle is to be sapped of arcane power as he steals and transforms the energies of his foes.

Any ideas on what this guy could boast with this text in hand? I'm voting a permanent aura of Psychic Vampire, possibly still within Control Area but maybe only command to reduce the sillyness. I'm also thinking that it looks like he kept his weapon, which suggests that he still has that benefit.

Other than that, he's a master of the occult - that could mean anything, really.

Oh, and do you think he gets a character beast? With him spoiled it's clear that he wasn't getting a permanent Soul Slave pet, which was suggested elsewhere. 

Really looking forward for more!
