Temperament:

Charming and surprisingly talkative, though with little respect for threats it is said The Pale Eye has no concern with fighting. Though over estimation or lack of long term planning or maybe the influence of its patron, The Pale Eye failed to recognize when Ciranor "The Anvil" alongside a few mercenaries managed to trap it. Never once assuming it would be defeated, the creature found itself heavily outclassed as the winds broke its magic with ease. Allowing for the mercenaries to quickly defeat it as The Anvil continued to watch and enjoy the creatures helplessness. Or so says the villagers nearby that had seen it, the samag clan travelor mentioned they even had the creature begging for forgiveness by the end.

History:

A creature said to have been born as the second child of the Mother patron, a beast from the clouded age. She was said to stand alongside The Painted Queen as an ally, though similar to the hags would find herself defeated and imprisoned. Eventually vanishing from the history books and leaving behind her two children, Cereseki "The Fathers Eye" and The Pale Eye, two immensely powerful beholders said to have given "birth" to the beholder species.
The Pale Eyed was said to go from his Mother's side, to the lands of the ancient tombs. His hope is believed to have been around finding the ancient artifacts of the demonlords as many of his kin could be found within these opened tombs. With time, it is said that The Pale Eyed would manage to find two of a set of three according to Regin Uthem and his research team. A ring crafted amidst a storm of conflict as the demonlords of ancient would rise. And a rod that is made of a material not known to be enchantable in this day in age. Both from a powerful crafting clan from the clouded age that had been rather wealthy with the amount of slaadee lives used to make them.
From there The Pale Eyed is said to have only come across the kobolds of the Unified Kobold Kinship kingdom by chance. Arising as there leaders began to seek power from another outside of Ote. They would find themselves drawn to the creature for its own natural divine pressence. With time, this would grant the creature further divinity and power over the many clans who refused to bow to Ote himself. As the power grew, the two would end up clashing through there followers in the streets of Kings End, in which would lead to the later exile of the nations leader and loss of the nation overall to Regin Uthem's influence.
Though little is known of how The Pale Eyed would gain so many for his massive hive, nor of his true intentions. What can be confirmed is that due to the actions of a few mercenaries and Ciranor "The Anvil", little was left of the creature and its followers. Many either falling on the battlefield or those to weak to be sensed by the powerful adventurers, found themselves divine below to the underdark, only to be either huntered or consumed by the frost giants of Regin Uthems new empire that would spand a quarter of the southern continent. Much of the slain creatures parts, granted to Regin Uthem in exchange for a few items crafted as rewards for the successful heros.
From here our tale ends, though rumors of the creature vanishing into a plane of existance none have heard of. The beast was slain, and gone, and only at the cost of a single funny joke or so said the traveling salesman "Welderman Ilsassia Lasorano Develin" the III.
