Age: Unknown

Gender: Male

Species: Unicorn

Cutie Mark: Unknown

Personality: Silent and solemn. <br /><br />When set on a destination, Eclipse rarely spares a passing glance; and "frees" ponies whenever he pleases.<br /><br />Before executing large-scale operations, he quietly laments the light that spurs others on.<br /><br />Believing that all light fades, Eclipse is determined to prevent it from ever spreading. To destroy the false faith that plagues Equestria.

Backstory: Sighted in the Frozen North, a passing train conductor stopped to save him from the storm.<br /><br />Upon boarding the train they rushed to take his vitals, which came back impossibly normal. <br /><br />Startled by the readings, but happy for his health, they told Eclipse how lucky he was, and to rest until they reached the Empire.<br /><br />As the train whirred back to life, the passenger next to Eclipse made herself known. Reassuring him how different it would be in the Empire. Warm weather year-round, unique magic and spells, AND the upcoming Crystal Fair.<br /><br />"Yessir! It brings together everything about the Empire. You really are a lucky one," she exclaimed.<br /><br />A small smile surfaced on Eclipse. "You know, I've always wanted to attend".<br /><br />"Well, what kept you?" she teased.<br /><br />As the train rolled into the Empire, Eclipse simply answered, "This shield".<br /><br /><br />As the train came to a stop, only one pony could be seen leaving the station. And he had only one target. The Crystal Heart.<br /><br />Making his way towards the shrine, several ponies stopped to welcome him - offering all varieties of goods and treats.<br /><br />"No thank you," Eclipse calmly replied. "But perhaps I have something to offer you".<br /><br />In the next moment, their crystal coats faded to the dullest shades, and their upbeat spirit sealed away.<br /><br />*to be continued*
