His  brother is caught  in their shared madness and weird existence. They've been given a second lease on undeath by a god of horror and depravity. They have the abilities of a shadow and the casting abilities of an evil priest. They're very mad and dangerous when the moon goes full.
2. A horror beyond words this undead thing is a mere whisp of a man but attaches itself to the shadows of others and then begins to feed on their lives 1d20 years at a time. The thing becomes more solid as its victim fades from the local space time and it will eventually masquarade as its victim for 1d20 weeks until it must feed again. 
3. Caught between timelines that have ended this fiend chases and kills the souls of its victims across time and space as a wight of horrid circumstance. This demonic thing harries its victims through reflections until it finally takes down its victim in some forgotten corner of existence. For a time it can walk and talk as a man but it begins to become vaguer and vaguer until it fades once again from memory to feed once more. 
4. There are places in dreams and nightmares that serve as the breeding ground for the weird or strange. This ghostly undead thing has no name but its made from the hopes or fears of a generation.

The flesh of its victims a buffet for its empty appetites.
