Igris

Character Backstory

Written by Billy Faircloth

Life Before Death

Igris 'The Forsaken' was born in the shadowy depths of Dracoria, a city beneath the earth, where black dragons and their cultists held dominion. From a young age, he was indoctrinated into the ways of subterfuge, warfare, and dark magic, his life dedicated to serving the draconic overlords and their sinister agendas. Assigned a covert mission by the cult, Igris was tasked with infiltrating various adventuring groups to disrupt their unity from within. His target wasn't the Towerfel Party initially, but his mission led him down a path where their paths would inevitably cross. Igris honed his skills, becoming adept at playing roles that would earn him trust, all the while keeping his true nature and mission hidden.

The Betrayal and Death

Igris had been operating in the shadows, moving from one group to another, sowing discord where he could, but never fully engaging until he encountered the Towerfell Party indirectly. His dark patrons, including the Necroking, saw the potential in using Igris against this group, known for their potential to disrupt the balance of power in favor of light. During a cataclysmic event where the Towerfell Party was close to thwarting a major dark ritual by the Necroking, Igris was activated. He wasn't part of the party, nor did he lead them, but his role was to orchestrate their downfall from the sidelines. However, the party's resourcefulness and the intervention of powerful allies led to Igris's exposure and subsequent demise at the hands of those he sought to manipulate.

Revival as a Revenant

The Necroking, never one to let a useful tool go to waste, drew upon the darkest threads of necromancy to resurrect Igris. This time, however, he was brought back not as a living being but as a revenant, his soul tethered to the mortal realm by his unfulfilled mission. Igris's appearance shifted—his scales now bore a deathly pallor, his eyes burned with a spectral green flame, and his presence was one of cold dread.

Current Quest

Igris now walks the land as a ghostly figure, his existence an anomaly known only to the dark powers he serves. His mission is singular: to dismantle the Towerfel Party. Operating in secrecy, Igris uses his newfound powers:

Channel Divinity: Poison the Well - He can subtly corrupt alliances or morale, planting seeds of betrayal or despair. Aura of Treachery - Those near him might feel an inexplicable urge to act against their own interests or their allies.

Undying Loyalty

His connection to the Necroking ensures his persistence as long as his goal remains unmet. Igris stalks the shadows, his moves calculated to intersect with the Towerfell Party's journey, aiming to strike at their weakest moments or turn their own strengths against them. His is a tale of betrayal, undeath, and an endless quest for vengeance, all under the unseen command of the Necro King.
