Gul

Alright, this was a big one.

Gul is an ancient magical beast. He has immense knowledge, though the wane of his gods, and the drive to complete his calling, he has not gained as much power as one might expect. Gul has a simple goal; To lay to rest all wandering spirits. Gul finds ghosts, and he sends them to their eternal rest.

Gul doesn't just destroy ghosts, he helps them pass on so that they may find their eternal rest. Gul is intelligent, and realizes that his ancient culture has fallen, and that new gods have risen, but his calling has not changed, even if the gods they are sent home to are new.

Gul spent a majority of his time roaming along the Persian deserts and Canaan, sometimes roaming as far north as the lands of Greece. He was also captured by a canny Roman wizard, and brought to visit Rome, during its height. He has made a few alliances with wizards, but has for the most part found them to be manipulative and evil, always seeking to use the dead to their own gain.

Gul looks like a sleek, muscular jackal. Strange markings appear to be painted on his fur, and his right eye glows brightly when he looks at an observer. His ebony fur is almost reflective, and at night, the starry sky can be seen in it.

Befriending Gul will require the magus to prove himself religious - though Gul doesn't care what religion. It will also require the magus to prove they will never bind and molest spirits. Gul is likely going to desire an enchantment to sever the familiar bond if the magus dies, so he can continue his divine-given work - and ensure the magus passes on. it will also require a Rego Mentem/Animal lab total of 33, and a lot of tenacity.

Additions: You could also very reasonably make this powerful creature might 22 because of his age, and give him more magical abilities, but this is a good core to work with.
