Evocators are thin, spindly, vaguely humanoid constructs. They share similar appearance traits to [[Tormentor]]s and [[Subjugator]]s with long arms and black claws with four fingers. The major difference is that their fingers and toes are webbed. Their skin appears to be made of the same material as objects found in pyramid structures, and their arms are made from a similar glass-like material. The face is featureless, save for two large eyes, and is obscured under a cloak similar to those worn by the [[Husk]]s and [[the Caretaker]]. | Evocators are thin, spindly, vaguely humanoid constructs.

Like other Dread, Evocators were created from [[Hive]] [[Wizard]]s by the Witness using the Traveler's Light. In one instance, Venme, a Wizard of [[Xivu Arath's Horde]], took part in a ritual to have her transformed into an Evocator, having her body and mind reshapped by the memory of a [[Forum:Quassin|species]] the Witness recalled from a [[Forum:Tivon|member]] preserved in its collective memory. Following the Witness's death within the [[Pale Heart]], the Evocators would be lost and be drawn to the wielders of the Echoes and any lingering leaders of the Black Fleet, | Like other Dread, Evocators were created from [[Hive]] [[Wizard]]s by the Witness using the Traveler's Light.

Venme raised her arms and splayed her claws, accepting the coming transformation. She was not afraid of the coming transformation. To have one's form reshaped into one that better serves and fits the Final, Perfect Shape is something many Hive, like herself, saw as the truest expression of the Sword Logic. | |||
She had known Hive who begged to be Taken by Oryx and some who offered their minds to her own God’s Cryptoliths. These "Dread" were no exception. And now, she was to receive that blessing. | |||
"My Witness…" she whispers as the | A collection of voices silences the hall. "You of the swarm, strengthened from collected knowledge, chosen by the War Dominant to ascend. Accept this knife." | ||
Venme's heart is devoid of doubt as she accepts. She knows the coming transformation will break her down as she still breathes. But she did not cry out. She was accustomed to pain. | |||
"My Witness…" she whispers as the torch flames turn a Resonant orange. | |||

She flinches as her chitin is slowly pried open to make the initial cuts. | |||
