The Spider

Lord of Venom, The Informant, Poisoner, Greedy One (a.k.a. Mikhail the Herbalist)

"So you want to know who he is? I would normally tell you to come to a more private place, but there is no place private enough to not reach his ears.
The Spider, the best informant in The Pit has his agents everywhere. Maybe even you are one of them, kid.
But that aside, he is a very dangerous man. Looking at his hair you would think he's an old man but looking at his face you would think he is at most in his late twenties."
"His name comes from two things. First is the fact that his intelligence network is like a web that no information will leave.
Second is the way he looks at people. What do I mean? He looks at them like a predator looks at prey. It's downright scary, kid."
"He is always surrounded by five people he trusts the most.
There's that girl with a crazy look in her eyes, the gloomy gentleman, someone who always hides in shadows, scrawny guy who's staying near the ground and his bodyguard, the guy who's well over 2m high. A real freak show if you ask me."
"Oh, and one last thing, kid. If you have any ability to perceive what normal humans don't see, don't look at him. You might see some shadow, something big and monstrous.
