By means the arcane forces unleashed by the awakened Simulacrum, Sedefkar increased his magical energy and learned other spells from the Skinless One, like the one that allowed him to faultlessly and perfectly assume the flesh and guise of another human being. In addition to this, the Simulacrum creates a bond with the Skinless One, something like a Faustian deal with the devil, allowing the owner of the statue to even occasionally summon the demigod's presence on earth to act on his behalf.
Neverthless, by activating the Simulacrum, Sedefkar would become a thing of great uncleanness and would corrupt into something inhuman, unless he performed a ritual of cleansing with the statue every four days. Passing from one body to another, from one flesh to another through time, Sedefkar defeated death and lived well over one hundred years. When he wrote of the Simulacrum, he gave it his name, and thus it became the Sedefkar Simulacrum. He composed the Sedefkar Scrolls in 1203, five symbolic texts which conveyed most of what he knew. Late in the scroll, Sedefkar refers to the imminent arrival of the white destroyers, just before the Fourth Crusade, at the start of the thirteenth century. Indeed, the Fourth Crusade breached the walls of Constantinople in 1204. Sedefkar hoped to escape with the conquerors, but a Venetian cabal known as The Unburdened Flesh sought the simulacrum for themselves. Frankish knights under orders from Count Baldwin followed the Venetians and exposed Sedefkar. The Scroll of the Legs ends with Sedefkar last reports, sadly sure he would not be able to escape the Venetians for long.
