Chriogrim the Broken

KREE-o(h)-grimm

His cruoric arcanity, the ambassador for Eox, Chriogrim (a.k.a. “Chriogrim the Broken”)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Chriogrim's physical form has atrophied into a skeletal figure centuries ago, leaving nothing but a paper-thin layer of skin over some parts of his body. He adorns his body with expensive robes which serve to hide the various technologies that protect him or otherwise grant an advantage to his goals.

Body Features

As an undead being, Chriogrim suffers none of the usual frailties that concern mortal beings. Although such benefits are most often considered in the context of war, he has adjusted their use for a different style of combat: politics.

Sleep is not an issue for him, allowing him to work late into the night. Diseases and poisons that occasionally sweep through the population of Absalom Station are similarly ignored.

Special abilities

As with all necrovites, Chriogrim wields powerful technomantic powers, earned after years of studying.
Additionally, the unnatural ritual that sustains his lichdom also slowly heals his physical form of lesser wounds, and maliciously saps the will of those nearby.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

1. Gained the epithet “the broken” when Chriogrim lost his power in a 'war' between Bone Sages. Although he managed to survive physically, he was locked politically into a serving the planet of Eox as an ambassador - and can't own land on Eox while doing so.
2. Agreed to mediate between Astral Extractions and the Hardscrabble Collective as a neutral party.
3. 24/10/324AG: Sent the PCs to investigate the Drift Rock on his behalf. Also requested them to acquire a 'package' while they were there.
4. 24/10/324AG: When the Sunrise Maiden docked in Absalom Station, Chriogrim sent his ghoul butler in one of his personal transports to collect them - but the PCs chose to enter Orgren's hovertaxi (with Urbemor) instead, slighting the necrovite. After vital information about the Drift Rock was provided to the Starfinder Society first, the PCs eventally delivered the information to Chriogrim. He paid them the agreed upon sum and then dismissed them from his service. Tyrfing offered their services for in the near future, but was politely ignored.

Gender Identity

Masculine

Education

Extremely well-educated. Chriogrim has lived for several centuries, and spent much of his time researching a variety of topics.

Employment

1. (Current) Ambassador for Eox.
2. Bone Sage.

Social

Social Aptitude

As an ambassador, Chriogrim is even more skilled at social endeavours than other necrovites. Many creatures remain wary of him, though, as they are fully aware of a necrovite's ability to control the minds of weak-willed undead creatures.

Wealth & Financial state

Considerable. Despite being a 'declawed' Bone Sage, Chriogrim still retains a considerable wealth of assets and lesser favours rivalling kings and countries.

“Both parties are currently awaiting legal arbitration, but the wheels of justice often turn quite slowly. As a result, I have offered my services as a mediator in hopes of finding a solution that is equitable to both factions.”
