Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
Hariath is a shapeshifter. His most common forms are that of an adult black dragon, and a semi-humanoid form. He is easily recognized in his humanoid form, because he generally designs it to be completely impossible.
During council sessions, he chooses to have between six and twelve legs, arranged from his hips like the arms of a jellyfish, more eyes than strictly necessary, draconic horns, often several faces around his head and random patches of black scales.

Personal history
Hariath was found by the Drow that aided the Empress during her revolt against the Elder Brain. At that point, he had the form of a malnourished, weakened black dragon hatchling, which he used to observe his "saviours".
During the battle against the Elder Brain and its loyalists, Hariath revealed his true form to the Empress and a few other chosen ones to shift the tides of battle in their favor. After the city was risen to the surface, Hariath pretended to "grow up" into the shape of an adult black dragon and founded the Thieves' Guild . He aided in the initial Fall of Nyx Shadowmend after which he revealed himself to be an Archfey to the general populus and rose to deityhood, at least in the city's consciousness. Hariath returned to the Feywild to do god-knows-what, remotely protecting the city and his worshippers within, until Rrax Grapplecast and Selkie Strongtide performed a bonding ritual to allow him access to the material plane again.

Gender Identity
Hariath has stated before that he does not have a gender (or sex, for that matter), and responds to any pronoun used for him. Due to his choice of voice, most people use masculine terms to refer to him.
Sexuality
Hariath's sexuality is widely debated, but the only concrete point of reference is his apparent "marriage" to Thalia , his high priestess and leader of the Thieves' Guild in his absence.
Intellectual Characteristics
Being a powerful Fey creature, Hariath is highly intelligent and magically adept. He is capable of bending reality to a degree and is known to mess with the fabric of space and time at his leisure, most evident by the elaborate dungeons he designed around the City's defenses.
