Sangalor

Sangalor, also known as Sangalor of the Secrets, was a mind flayer outcast who became a cleric of Oghma in 1370 DR.

"Not all illithids desire conquest. I feed my hunger with commerce and discovery. One profits better and learns more when one is trustworthy, so that is a virtue for which I strive. I hope that your strive for this as well. May you stay clear of the path of madness."

Activities
In time, Sangalor became a fervent devotee of the God of Knowledge but was basically still an illithid: his usual trade was to find secrets by request or interrogating evil prisoners by eating their brains. Sangalor revealed secrets about his home city to anyone who was seriously intending to fight his evil brethren.

For a humble sum of 5,000 gp, Sangalor offered tutelage in a technique that strengthened one's mind. This training was invaluable for the adventurers that planned on facing mind flayers and similar psychic beings.

Relationships
Sangalor was considered an embarrassment by the rest of his kind. Most mind flayer wished he was killed when Sangalor was spawned. Even mention of Sangalor's name was offensive to his kin.

Sangalor originated from the illithid city of Ch'Chitl but at some point, for unknown reasons, it became an outcast. To survive, Sangalor turned to the worship of Oghma and moved first to Skullport and later to Waterdeep and the Temple of Oghma there.

After Sangalor's settlement in Waterdeep, the sage mind flayer stroke the agreement with the Lords of Waterdeep, they allowed Sangalor to practice his trade in exchange for him keeping an eye on the mind flayer activities in Underdark and Undermountain.

In 1368 DR, Sangalor's attention was drawn to a lone hero's decent to Undermountain on orders of Khelben Arunsun to investigate and stop recent influx of kobold activities within Waterdeep. The mind flayer offered the hero invaluable information to aid in their quest.
