History
Twin tiefling warlocks work covertly for Samas Kul, Master of the Guild of Foreign Trade in Bezantur. The corpulent red wizard uses the warlocks known as Tolyst and Finora to spy on and intimidate his trade rivals. Tolyst is easily recognized by his large fangs, wolfish grin, and orange eyes. Finora can be identified by her catlike tail and yellow cat's eyes.

Samas replaced Druxus Rhym in 1375 DR as zulkir following Rhym's assassination. As Szass Tam tried to seize lone rulership of Thay by force, Samas allied with Dmitra Flass's council to stand against Szass's armies.
