Turns out the harpy myth wasnt a myth at all. Requiem is the ruler of a legion of harpys, him being the king and only male of his species. He appeared at the turn of the millennium seeking vengeance for the near eradication of his people. He came on a foul smelling wind singing a sorrowful song. But this birds song is no sweet lullaby, it is nothing but the precursor of death. He is entirely without compassion and mercy and, along with his harpy hoard, seeks only the suffering of mankind. His face is hidden behind a bird mask, it is said that his true form is too startling for anyone, even his own kind, to handle. Despite having godlike strength and agility, he feels the simplicity of taking a victim into the clouds then dropping back down to earth to be the most fitting punishment for mankind. It also nicely illustrates his heartless nature.
