Handragath

Handragath was a ranking Cult of the Dragon member who operated out of ruins of Darnarest's tower, luring would-be adventurers into the hands of his slavers circa 1369 DR.

Description
He was tall.

Personality
Handragath was a cruel man, a slaver, and a wizard who experimented on his captives. He hid this well, however, behind a friendly face, diplomatic approach, and abundant charisma.

Abilities
As the undercover member of the Cult of the Dragon, Handragath was a skilled spy, capable of gathering intel, proficient in diplomacy, and knowledgeable in the realm of the arcane.

As a wizard, Handragath had access to arcane spells up to the 4 level, detect poison, charm person, mage armor, ray of enfeeblement, alter self, protection from arrows, summon swarm, flame arrow, stinking cloud, and enervation being some of them.

Possessions
Handragath was armed with one of the masterwork claw bracers to defend himself in battle and have his hands free for spellcasting. He used a +1 amulet of natural armor for protection, and had wands of magic missiles and of fear hidden in his robes. He carried a potion of cure serious wounds, eight pearls, a handful of gold and silver coins in pockets of his hooded robe.

Relationships
Handragath's familiar was a male viper named Rexin who was often left behind in the Cult of the Dragon's lair in the Darnarest's tower.

History
In 1369 DR, the Cult of the Dragon was led by Kya Mordrayn to occupy the ruins of Myth Drannor, corrupt its mythal and tap into the powers of a pool of radiance found under Castle Cormanthor. The Cult needed a constant supply of workers which they got through slavery. One such operation was helmed by wizard Handragath who was sending adventurers and townies into the hands of the cult, disguised as an elderly distant relative of Darnarest, the wizards whose tower was being used as the Cult's outpost. But they saw the false benefactor grab a handful of magical salt and throw it into a brazer in the tower's basement, followed by Handragath jumping through the portal. The heroes followed but Handragath was long gone.
