Vendes Baenre

Vendes Baenre, also named Duk-Tak, a name meaning "Unholy Executioner", was one of Yvonnel Baenre's daughters and also a priestess of Lolth. She was master tormentress of the Baenre compound; her nickname was because of this "job".

History
Vendes Baenre tortured Drizzt when he returned to Menzoberranzan and was captured by House Baenre. Later, she was killed by Drizzt when Cattie-brie and Artemis Entreri rescued him from the Baenre compound in 1357 DR.

Personality & Activities
Vendes was so uncontrollably volatile that Matron Baenre did not gave her a room in the highest tier of the Baenre stalagmite. However, the old Matron Baenre had some use for her daughter. If there was a problem with a lower ranking drow, she sent Vendes to mete out her punishment. Vendes wielded a seven-headed whip of fangs that transformed the skin of the victims into ebony. The old Matron deposited the resulting statues in a room for future sale. She let her daughter also punish priestesses in Arach-Tinilith. If a would-be priestess was seen, or even thought to be, deviating from the Way of Lolth, Vendes came into action. Ebony statues of such a drow were put on display in front of Arach-Tinilith for all to see, for a period of one year.

Vendes's "statues" of drow were prized by the elite of Gracklstugh, although after her death several statues mysteriously came to life and attacked their owners.
