Father Korenth Zan

Korenth Zan is more than a priest—he is a master of divine and arcane magic, rumored to have struck pacts with extraplanar Suel entities and forbidden spirits of the ancient Imperium. He has rewritten sacred texts, devised rituals of purification, and developed forbidden blood-magics used to test loyalty and control breeding among his people.

He is known to possess several powerful relics of Suel origin, including:

• The Crown of Obedience – a circlet that compels loyalty in those of Suel descent.
• The Scroll of Severed Tongues – used to silence traitors or dissenters permanently, both figuratively and literally.
• The Flame of Lendor – a blue-white fire used in executional rites, supposedly able to burn the soul itself.

Father Zan is the architect of the Brotherhood’s central creed: the Purity Doctrine, which espouses the superiority of the ancient Suel race and its destined rule over the Flanaess. According to his teachings:

• The Suel people must reclaim their ancestral power, cleansing the bloodlines of impurity and degeneracy.
• The chaotic forces of the Flanaess—humans, demihumans, nonhumans alike—are obstacles to be converted, subjugated, or destroyed.
• History must be rewritten and reshaped in the image of the ancient Imperium, lost to time and cataclysm.

Zan believes in a long game—cultural infiltration, political subversion, magical superiority, and eventual military domination. His ultimate vision is a theocratic empire ruled by Suel descendants under the unyielding gaze of their Father.

Zan’s chilling influence reaches far beyond the Tilvanot. His agents operate as spies, assassins, and propagandists in major cities across the Flanaess. He is believed to have corrupted minor rulers, established secret cells, and manipulated wars to advance the Brotherhood’s goals. Even among enemies, Father Korenth Zan commands respect—born not of admiration, but of terror.

He is the final word in a land where obedience is holy and deviation is death, and in him, the Scarlet Brotherhood finds its guiding star—merciless, unwavering, and utterly devoted to domination.

To most of the outside world, Father Korenth Zan is a ghost, a mythical figure whispered about in taverns and royal courts alike. Even among the Brotherhood, he is rarely seen—his pronouncements delivered through veiled emissaries, high-ranking monks, and coded documents. Rumors abound that he is far older than he appears, possibly sustained by magic, alchemical treatments, or the divine will of the Suel gods.

He is described as tall and gaunt, with icy blue eyes that seem to strip away falsehoods, and long, silver-white hair worn like a crown. His voice—when heard—is said to be mesmerizing, resonant, and utterly devoid of mercy.
