Miskohsiah left his home by stowing away with nearby traveling humanoids (preferably someplace other than the island of Urukasal that has Yuan-Ti), sent by his people to infiltrate the humanoid society beyond their lands in search of weaknesses to be exploited that might bring the Yuan-Ti one step closer to retaking Exandria someday. It is a duty that Miskohsiah, a devout follower of Sseth, the Sibilant of Death, was honored to undertake as such a task is directly in line with the promises of his patron. (Patron likely to push for ascension to godhood, trying to replace Merrshaulk, Master of the Pit as the prime god of the Yuan-Ti, with Miskohsiah's aid.) Knowing that retaking Exandria from the other humanoid races is truly a pipe dream of a goal, Miskohsiah & others like him have been sent with a much more specific, shorter-term goal that is truly urgent. Their people's territory is beginning to butt up against humanoid civilization, who are starting to actively hunt down the less humanoid elements of the Yuan-Ti society. A solution needs to be found, one way or another, because if things continue the way they are the Yuan-Ti population will dwindle with time to a point where the humanoid civilization nearby could eventually launch a full assault to wipe them out. (This could very easily be a small village that is just big enough to deter the Yuan-Ti from a full assault, but small enough they can't launch an attack right away on the Yuan-Ti & win. Stalemate that's bleeding slowly towards the humanoids, as usual in this age.)
Some possible solutions that have been suggested by the leadership of his society include weakening that civilization from the inside in any of a number of ways, cutting off food supplies by hunting farmers as they hunt Malisons & Abominations, or potentially finding a new location to move their society to that would be far from conflict where they can flourish. The chosen Purebloods were sent forth to find whatever information they think could help break the cycle of death, with the future of their people riding on their shoulders.
**Essentially playing out a sleeper cell agent, exploring the mentality of someone set on a long-term evil goal & whether they can make enough of a connection with the "normal world" to change their plans.**
