Shaltheris

Appearance

• A hulking hydroloth with slick, amphibian-like skin that shimmers in shades of deep green and black. His bulbous eyes glow faintly with eerie blue light, and his webbed claws are marked with intricate runes.
• Wears an infernal cuirass etched with Feonor’s emblem and carries a ceremonial staff tipped with a jagged crystal, which drips with brackish water.

Roleplaying

• Speaks in a gurgling, resonant voice that sounds like it’s echoing from underwater. Often pauses mid-sentence to study his audience with an unsettling, unblinking gaze.
• Constantly exudes an aura of damp mist, creating an oppressive atmosphere around him. He absentmindedly flicks his claws or adjusts the runes on his staff when deep in thought.

Background

• Shaltheris was once a minor warlord in Gehenna before a failed uprising led to his exile. His cunning and adaptability earned him Feonor’s favor, and he now commands her mezzoloth mercenaries.
• Despite his position, Shaltheris views Feonor with a mix of awe and fear, recognizing her necromantic power as both a boon and a potential threat. He serves her loyally while subtly maneuvering to ensure his own survival in the cutthroat politics of Avernus.
