Starting out in his life, he wasn't a very pretty goopling to look at. That's where his love for beautiful things began--it be precious jewels/metals, flowers or even life and death itself. He started out as a rather ugly goopling, his appearance alone could scare animals and other creatures away. He found, however, that non-living things couldn't run from him, which allowed him to take in the beauty and shine of these precious stones when he discovers them. Becoming jealous of their beauty, he collected these crystals to embed them on his body to try and make their beauty his own. Over time did these crystals grow into his body, invading into his ribcage where a crystal core came into existence.

A vicious creature at first, specially over his crystal stash before they were placed upon his body, he found that creatures couldn't run from him if they were dead, thus the factor of his skull face due to trying to take traits from dead creatures. With magic developing into illusion properties, the light from his crystals helps channel his control on what illusions come into existence to another's eye, gifting him the ability to change what others see at will.
