About

More Photos

Desire is the third youngest of the Endless and the twin of Despair. To the ancient Greeks, known as Epithumia, Desire is the anthropomorphic personification of wanting, craving, lust, and attraction, and can blend in effortlessly with whatever environment they find themselves in. Desire lives in the heart of a massive flesh-and-blood statue of themself, known as the Threshold. Desire's sigil is a heart of cut glass.
