Name: Mirixal
Age: very old...
Race: Illithid, Mind Flayer
Class: He dabbles in a little of everything thanks to his ability to learn the stuff in the brains he eats. Thus anyone he eats, he learns what they know.
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Appearance:
Personality: Being one of the ruling council members of one of the largest illithid cities in the underdark has made Mirixal powerful. Vast resources were always at his disposal. Over time this made him very sure of himself, made him one of a few illithids that did not run away from a fight.
History: He was born as a very rare mutation of the illithid race, having six tentacles rather than four. This made him automatically a very respected being. He was given brains of only the most skilled adventures. His mutation allowed him to eat a brain, and know what it knew. Every brain he ate, he grew in skill... in art... in magic...
After less than ten cycles (years) he was seen as almost a lesser deity. The only thing above him was the Elder Brain, of which he spoke to frequently...
This all changed when one day, he was the only one in the room with the Elder Brain. The brain had called him there to speak privately... the guards had been dismissed. The brain spoke of how it was dying. How Mirixal needed to guide the rest while it was gone... only until another Elder Brain was found.
After a little more than a hour of talking, the Brain died...
Mirixal tried to tell the others what he was supposed to do, but they would not believe him. They rose up against him, each wanting to rule. Using "Mirixal killed our leader" as a excuse to banish him...
And so he left...
and his home was destroyed by a drow raiding party no more than a month later.
---
Today Mirixal roams the surface world, sleeping during the day and traveling at night. The sun did not hurt him, but it was very much hated. It left him exposed...
He now currently resides in a city just outside a major sea port city... waiting for someone to come along and read his "need help" posters...
He was willing to do almost anything if it let him grow in power...
