Age: 24

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: White mane and tail, texture is light yellow, hence the nickname.

Cutie Mark: His cutiemark is two crossed swords with a sun surrounding it. This represents that the light aids him in his fights and every strike agains foul unholy creatures.

Personality: A very nice person who loves his friends even though he never says too much, not even when in the happiest mood. He's the kind of person who never speaks of his history even though everypony knows it. He always helps his friends and is loyal and humble. Many ponies claim that Damien has no weakness because of his job and history. If they only knew how much he cared for them..

Backstory: Damien was born into his task, to keep the gates of tartarus safe and closed. Together with his father he trained every day from the moment he could carry a sword, in the arts of combat and holy spells. He always picked the same weapon for the training, every single day, the two one handed swords-he loved the feeling of being agile-, the same weapons sort of weapon his father bore. Only differance was that Damien's swords were dull, short training-swords. His father's swords had something more, a crystal, a white one, in the middle of the swords handle just above the grip that was transparent.<br /><br />Damien's father was a family loving unicorn stallion, he cared very much for his mare and his only colt son. He always complimented Damien after a hard day's training with combat and spells. <br /><br />When Damien turned 13 he and his father ventured through the gates of tartarus, this was the first time Damien had been through the gates. They had gotten a message from the royal sisters to kill of any creatures getting to close to the gate, it was no normal behaviour for the unholy to ever come this close. Damien hadn't ever killed anything before and was about to slice through a small horde of lesser creatures. His father told him that they would be no match for him, "..just remember your spells son and you'll be fine, you will need no help with this but I will be here"<br /><br />Damien succeeded in his task with ese. Every now and then they would get messages concerning the gate. Nothing was ever too hard for the ultimate team.<br /><br />On Damien's 16th birthday he and his father got the fateful note from the sisters, a bigger and worse creature was on the way. This time they had to fight for their lives and they feared it.<br /><br />When they had almost killed the beast it pierced Damiens chest, nearly killing him, only making him bleed, alot. As Damien lay down with eyesight fading away he saw a sudden strong bright light and then everything went darker then the darkest black. When Damien woke up again he only saw a red faded light change to white and then back to black again.<br /><br />The second time he woke up was to Celestia and Luna standing in front of him bearing bad news.<br />He asked, "What happend? Where am I?"<br />"You're at the Canterlot hospital and the most important thing is that you are alive", Luna responded quickly<br />"What happend? Where is my father"<br />"You died Damien! And so did your father!", his mother said coming in the door with tears in her eyes and on her cheeks.<br />"No. No! NO! NO!!! How am I still alive if I DIED!?", Damien cried out in confusion and greif.<br />"Your father gave you the last of his life, he knew he couldn't make it so he gave his last breath to you, so that you could continue, he loved you very much", Celestia said in a low voice.<br />"B-... But how?", Damien cried.<br />"You know the swords your father had, these", Celestia held up the swords in front of Damien, he noticed that the crystals were broken, both of them.<br />"Your father poured his life into these and then onto you so that you may live. As you may not have noticed, your once chestnut texture has gone pale, so have your eyes and mane too. Do you know why you changed like that?", Celestia answerd in a calming voice.<br />"No Princess, why is that?<br />"It is because you were were dead and then brought back. Damien, you are living a borrowed life."<br /><br />From that day Damien was known as "The Holy Ghost".
