Soul Harvester

The Soul Harvester is a collector of souls. After he slays his victims, he combines parts of their soul to be joined with him to make him more powerful. When his soul merges with others, his personality shifts slightly depending on the type of soul absorbed. A Chaotic Good Soul Harvester could turn evil in the blink of an eye if they absorb the soul of an evil entity. The Soul Harvester lives his life in eternal conflict with the other souls that he has merged with.->.
