Physical Description

General Physical Condition

The Thrice-Martyred Saint appears as a gaunt drow with pink almond-shaped eyes, long white hair, and smooth dark grey skin. He wears a simple white tunic that seems too big for His body tied with a red sash. If He were to be seen without His robe, one would see that you can easily see His ribs through His skin. He has heavy dark circles under His eyes and is covered in all manner of bruises and scars from His centuries of torture at the claws of Tiana.

Physical quirks

He appears to be shivering as if He were cold, no matter His apparel or the environment He is in.

Special abilities

Although being a god means a lot less on Zaldebrash than it does on other worlds, the Thrice-Martyred Saint still possesses many notable divine abilities. For instance, He can transfer the pain of others to Himself by merely touching the afflicted. He also has a supernatural aura of calm that surrounds him, and sensations of pain and suffering lessen within this aura as well. He can also create enough food and water to sustain up to 45 medium-sized creatures for 24 hours once per day, although He can use it more times per day at the expense of His own health.

Morality & Philosophy

The Thrice-Martyred Saint is, to put it simply, selfless in His philosophy. From His perspective, if one can give of one's self and does so for the good of others, that is a righteous and virtuous decision.
