Killed by [[Petra]] in [[Phandalin]], his consciousness was trapped in her mind through her [[Soulmonger]] abilities. He now provides cryptic necromantic knowledge while his paranoia challenges her mental fortitude. %% ## Now Trapped as a voice inside [[Petra]]'s mind, offering cryptic necromantic knowledge while hoarding secrets and straining her sanity. ## Appearance Spectral form mirroring his twisted Nothic body — hunched, with sickly grey scaled skin and a single large glowing green eye. ## Personality Calculating, morbidly curious, and deeply paranoid. His fractured mind is consumed by an obsessive need to guard dark secrets, and he may withhold information out of paranoia. Speaks in a raspy whisper laced with riddles. ## Quote _"Secrets whisper in the shadows, but beware the price of listening too closely."_ ## Connections **[[Petra]]** — killed him; now hosts his trapped consciousness. **[[Acererak]]** — served him as a [[Tombkeepers|Tombkeeper]]. ## Background **The Theft:** He stole the [[Tome of Unlife]] from [[Acererak]] and got its lock open — the only being known to have managed it — then failed the Rite of Binding that follows. The book found him unworthy, took his mind, and left the body walking. It did not take his soul; [[Acererak]] does not keep what he discards. **What he knows:** he is the only one who has ever opened a copy, and he has been offering [[Petra]] his secrets since the night they met. **The Trapping:** [[Petra]] killed him in [[Phandalin]], but her [[Soulmonger]] abilities caught his consciousness and bound it inside her mind. %%
