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."
