| Magic: Chthon possesses incalculable magical power, controlling the entire dimension in which he is trapped. He grants magical power to others, usually through Darkhold spells. He operates on Earth via his elemental host, the Other, and can sometimes possess mortals, but they cannot contain his whole essence. Chthon's true form is elemental energy, and physical descriptions do not apply. | |||||||

| Chthon is the archetypal Class One Demon, one of the Elder Gods created billions of years ago from the Demiurge, the sentient life force of Earth's biosphere, shaping the early development of Earth. Chthon, like his sister Gaea was born a god of the Earth, but he was not of the life giving soul that she was, instead Chthon was a being of the dark cold soul of the grave and the underworld. Chthon was Earth's first master of black magic, occupying his existence in the pursuit of knowledge of things which should not be. As with the majority of Elder Gods, Chthon began degeneration into a demonic state. | ||||
