Character from Elden Ring by FromSoftware
The mightiest demigod general, who learned gravitational sorcery not for war but to keep riding his beloved horse — then used it to hold back the stars themselves.
Radahn was the closest thing the Lands Between had to a hero — a warrior of staggering power who chose to use his gifts in service of others. He studied gravitational sorcery under an Alabaster Lord not to conquer but because Leonard, his childhood horse, could no longer bear his growing weight. That single act of tenderness defined him more than any battle. He held back the stars with his magic, freezing the cosmos in place, which inadvertently imprisoned the fate of every Empyrean and blocked Ranni's plan. Whether he did this deliberately or as a byproduct of his power is one of the Lands Between's unanswered questions. When Malenia bloomed in their duel, the scarlet rot devoured his mind. The Radahn Festival is both a celebration and a mercy killing — his former soldiers invite worthy warriors to grant their general an honorable death, because the thing shambling through Caelid's wasteland is no longer the man who loved his horse.
Enormous even by demigod standards — a colossus in battered lion-crest armor astride Leonard, his scrawny, pitifully small horse that he keeps aloft with gravity magic rather than abandon. A wild red mane streams behind him like a war banner. His greatswords are the size of castle gates. In his rot-maddened state, his body is emaciated and feral, armor corroded, dragging himself across Caelid's poisoned sands on all fours between moments of terrible lucidity.
