Pyras Autorian was the tharchion of Thaymount of Thay.[1]

He is doing very well under my ministrations. I believe that when I am done, no one will ever notice a difference.
— Szass Tam, on "healing" Pyras Autorian[3]

Description[]

In 1373 DR, Pyras was in his early 30s. Pyras had hazel eyes, and his most noticeable feature was a full head of bright red hair. It always stood up in the sea of shaven-headed Thayans. Pyras's hair was strangely resistant to any attempts of removing it, be it in mundane ways or via magic.[4]

Personality[]

Pyras Autorian thought himself to be fair-minded, but most Red Wizards that knew him called him weak-willed. Pyras often hid his failures and weaknesses.[4]

Relationships[]

Pyras had little magical talent, to the constant embarrassment of his father. To please the senior Autorian, Pyras entered the world of politics.[4]

Activities[]

Pyras had no real talent and was an open puppet of Szass Tam. In turn, Szass kept Pyras safe with bodyguards, magical items, and spells.[1]

History[]

Pyras was tharchion of Thaymount by 1372 DR.[1]

In the Year of Rogue Dragons, 1373 DR, Pyras Autorian was possessed by Eltab in the plot of Naglatha against Tam[5] but was likely killed by Thazienne Uskevren when she defeated Eltab.[6][3]

Although soon healed or resurrected by some means,[3] he was later sacrificed by his patron Tam in the Year of Blue Fire, 1385 DR, in order to invoke Bane for help in the Thayan civil war.[2]
