✧ Cassander Uchiha ✧
Gender: Male
Age: 160
Clan: Uchiha
Appearance
Standing at 6'3, Cassander wears a ceremonial battle armor similar to a mixture of Japanese Samurai attire, and Madara Uchiha's red battle plates. Cassander's most notable feature as an Edo Tensei is the lack of a head; in its place is a smoldering inferno in the shape of a human skull. In the place of its eye sockets are Cassander's signature Uchiha eyes, typically always in their basic three Tomoe state.
Personality
Cassander, true to his nature, is a warmonger. While initially he was a beloved warrior beholden to his Uchiha clansmen, he has since been warped by the powers used by Alexandros. In this new state, Cassander seeks only to spread war and terror in the name of his liege. Lacking an army is no concern to Cassander, believing himself to be a one man army. He is ruthless megalomaniac, bent on showing the world the reason for why Conqueror's End is celebrated in the first place. Regardless of the enemy he fights, he will show no mercy. Instead he opts to use the height of his powers in all fights, shredding enemies without the smallest concern for them. Perhaps the kindest he has shown an enemy on the battlefield is the way to their grave....

Background Information
What is known about Cassander's life before he became the Argead General is largely left to speculation and rumor. What is factually known is that Cassander loved his Uchiha clan and his brother, and would do anything, regardless of the cost, to protect them. In his late twenties, Cassander was faced with the most difficult decision of his life and would prove to be the defining moment of his legacy.
In 698, Alexandros's legions swept upon the Uchiha and Senju clans; it forced them into a fight which would define their very existence. A fight not merely to live on as they currently did, but a fight for their very survival. For a year battle was waged between the legions and the two intertwined clans. But the might of Alexandros and his legions proved too much, seeing many Uchiha and Senju ruthlessly slain. By the year 699, the bloodshed had caused Cassander, and his brother, to awaken their Mangekyō Sharingan. With his newly awakened powers, the siblings believed they could continue their fight.
Yet it was all for naught; even with their heightened visual prowess, the brothers couldn't even fight past Alexandros's elite soldiers, let alone the Conqueror himself. And so Cassander's brother offered his him his eyes, one final offering to make the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan permanent and enhance it in one last desperate attempt to slay the Conqueror. It was a difficult sacrifice to make for Cassander; stealing his brother's light was no easy choice after all. It was a tradition largely seen as forbidden within the clan.
Confronting Alexandros in the Winter of 699, the Conqueror made him a promise: "Defeat me and I will withdraw my Legions from the Land of Fire. Fail, and you and your clan will be snuffed out from history." And so, for Cassander, defeat was not an option. Their battle raged for three days and nights. At its worst, the fighting is said to have been seen from the highest towers in the city of Chungsu. Reports of a great ethereal warrior slamming its fists into enormous beams of light. Swords being swung the size of a mountain, slicing the deepest ravines open.
Finally, after the third night the battle ended. Alexandros, standing strong and healthy, looked down upon his vanquished enemy. But instead of wiping out his existence, as promised, he turned toward him with a new choice. "Become my champion, and you will become immortalized. Your clans will be spared, becoming part of my new Empire." And so, Alexandros bestowed upon Cassander the Argead Blessing. Its origins are largely unknown, thought to be derived from Yin-Yang. It warped the once loving brother into a warmonger, bent on ravaging the land in the name of his lord.
For 10 years thereafter, the Argead General and Conqueror fought side by side against the Freehold of Hanguri. The two were set to establish an empire spanning vast territory, and even seemed to be on the verge of destroying the Freehold itself. But in a dramatic turn of events, Alexandros's life ended suddenly. Claimed by the sudden and mysterious grasp of dysentery. The empire was left to disintegrate without a proper heir. Cassander, with his will still bent, was unable to reconcile ruling an empire with war and disappeared into obscurity.

Specialty and Ability Information:
Botched Edo Tensei: Summoned by a cult of Necromancers beholden to an unknown leader, they have botched Cassander’s summoning ritual. As a result, the Argead General lacks a head, and is replaced as a raging inferno with his eyes perfectly preserved inside of it. Their crimson anger burns through the intense flames that crystallize the ruthless powers he wields into battle.
Shrouded in Mystery: It has been over one hundred years since Cassander has fought in battle. What was known of his combat skills are the few records that escaped the archives of Chungsu after its razing at the hands of the Kyuubi. Because of this, almost all of Cassander's skills remain a mystery. As the Argead General wields his skills into combat, word will spread and his abilities will become common knowledge. Note that hidden abilities remain marked as " -- " and remain as such until they are used in battle. As Conqueror's End progresses, so will knowledge about the General's skills.
The Argead Blessing: : A skill bestowed upon Cassander by Alexandros sometime after being defeated in 699. The blessing is derived from Yin-Yang Release, causing Cassander’s personality to warp and bending him to Alexandros’s will, while also imbuing him with an assortment of powers.
One Man Army: Infamously known as the One Man Army, Cassander becomes strongest when odds are stacked against him. This is derived from the Argead Blessing, which responds more when facing multiple enemies. For each additional opponent, the potency of Cassander’s skills increase further. This skill is noted in each fight, depending on the number of opponents Cassander faces.
Chakra Suppression Field: A natural skill derived from Yin-Yang's potential to negate Chakra and Ninjutsu. This skill is inherited from the Argead Blessing and is an enhancement conferred upon Cassander as an inescapable indiscriminate zone of influence similar to the Negative and Positive Zones. --. An additional effect to this is its ability to triple the time it takes an Edo Tensei to regenerate, not including Cassander. Unique to this field is its ability to slowly wear away at opponents, causing its effects to become greater the longer a fight goes on. For each turn, this field increases in potency. Thus, in the second turn Edo Tensei regenerate slower by a factor of four, increasing indefinitely. --.
Advanced Ninjutsu and Combat Specialist: Cassander’s Argead Blessing, coupled with his natural skill, creates a near perfect warrior. He has complete mastery over his chakra, allowing him to use all techniques without the need for hand seals and gaining 30 additional damage to his Ninjutsu, elemental or otherwise. Cassander is also a Combat Specialist, gaining a base 2.0x to his base speed. These effects are further increased depending on the strength of One Man Army.
