K'Stallo

In the aftermath of the great catastrophe that destroyed the Valossan Empire and sank the continent of the serpent people beneath the waves, the survivors either fled to other lands or buried themselves deep beneath the ground. Those who fled tried to preserve their culture and knowledge in the hope of one day rebuilding. The rest hid from the world, either degenerating into brutish monsters or withdrawing to contemplate the meaning of their tragedy.   K’Stallo was born among those who had clung to the old ways, who remained loyal to Yuan but lacked the lore and teaching of their ancient civilization. Much was lost over the centuries, and belief in their god waned. He and his fellows dwelt in a small, isolated mountain village, far from any roads or cities. In time, they grew content with their seclusion, hidden away from the world. And then Lucius discovered them.   Lucius, a wandering human possessed by something more, something divine, spoke to them of the wider world and of what had become of the other survivors. Lucius’s tales intrigued K’Stallo, leading him to believe there was a chance something else might have survived on these distant islands. K’Stallo followed Lucius to Freeport. When he arrived, he assumed the guise of an attendant in the Freeport's Temple to Odis. He watched, studied, and learned, working with Lucius to uncover what they could about the fate of his civilization.   One night, he happened upon Thuron, the high priest of Odis, dead in his chambers. Making a snap decision, K’Stallo hid the body and assumed the high priest’s likeness, taking his place as head of the temple. His new role granted him access to the forbidden tomes and treasured scrolls in the temple; with them, he was able to recover a great deal of lore about his people and the cult of Yuan. Unfortunately, his obsession made him blind to the growing danger of the Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign, which had also infected the Freeport's Temple to Odis.   He realized his error only after the attack by the Brotherhood on the temple, and immediately he knew he had to intervene in the matters plaguing the city. He revealed his true nature to the young priest Egil and his friends, offering his assistance in defeating the foul Brotherhood.
