Talos

Talos (pronounced: /ˈtɑːloʊs/ TAHL-os), known long ago as Kozah, was the Faerûnian greater deity of storms and destruction. The Storm Lord was the destructive force of nature and leader of the Gods of Fury whose self-serving dogma demanded utter obedience from his priests, instructing them to spread destruction where they might.
Among the Bedine of Anauroch, who descended from the citizens of Netheril, Talos was still known as Kozah by the 14th century DR. In Calimshan, he was worshiped as Bhaelros and in the Underdark, he had an aspect with a small following as Malyk, a god of wild magic.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Talos appeared as a broad-shouldered, bearded man with one good eye. He wore half-plate armor over black leather and black leather gloves. His empty eye socket was filled with whirling stars and covered with a dark eye patch. When he appeared in Calimshan, he often took the form of a dusky-skinned, turbaned genie rising out of a sandstorm.[

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

To destroy Tyr and the Triad

To bring chaos and destruction to Faerun

Virtues & Personality perks

Talos was violent, angry, short-tempered, impulsive, and frequently motivated by his fury. He could be roused to raging destruction by the smallest offences and hold onto a grudge for centuries after the slight. His actions often seemed petty and vengeful, and indeed they were. He reveled in chaos and exulted in unrestrained devastation, causing ruin for the pure joy of it.
Talos was in many ways a bully without boundaries, comparable to a malicious, spoiled child in his motivation. He was often driven to act out of the fear of looking weak or compromising to anyone, and reinforced his sense of self-worth time and time again by raining havoc and crushing beneath his might those too weak to stop him. He relished seeing what he or his followers could burn, flood, break, kill, or otherwise tear down. His entire reason for existing was to prove, to mortals, gods, and himself that there was nothing that could be built that he couldn't destroy.
