Description and Personality: Shamoth is a
half-fiend, son of a powerful scar demon named Takathar. After his twin
sister chewed her way out of their mother's body, he crawled after her
and attacked the midwife. His father's agents took him to the Abyss to
be conditioned and trained to serve evil. He acts as a lieutenant in his
father's service, and like his sister he sometimes makes agreements to
serve mortal servants of his father when arranged by lesser planar ally
spells. He enjoys working with his sister, letting be the dominant one
of the pair and putting on the air of a dumb brute, although he is actually
quite intelligent.
Shamoth is an evil and warped individual, broken
by physical and mental torture for his entire life. He vents his aggression
by torturing prisoners, being especially fond of amputating their limbs
one by one without the benefit of healing magic. His skin is covered in
scars, and his left arm was cut off long ago and replaced by a magical
iron prosthetic that functions like a real arm. His armor is of red metal
plated in magically hardened copper.
Ghostwalk connection: She's a half-fiend, and Orcus is a demonic deity in Ghostwalk, so eventually half-fiends should be encountered as opponents for the PCs. I haven't written up Takathar or the scar demon type yet, but I already have a miniature picked out. :)
