Flenser Flenser was a female draegloth cleric of Kiaransalee and a torturer for Irae T ' sarran in the Undying Temple . Description . Flenser had a bestial and elongated face with a mouth full of dangerously sharp teeth . She stood roughly 8 ft ( 2 . 4 m ) tall and had a thick , inky black hide covered in a fine white coat of hair . A thick and knotted mane of yellow - white hair trailed down her back . Like other draegloth s , Flenser was powerfully built and sported four arms ; two of which were smaller and delicate enough to perform spellcasting , whilst the other two were large and wickedly clawed . Personality . A sadistic and vengeful creature , Flenser ' s exile by her family was responsible for her turn to Kiaransalee . Abilities . A talented cleric of Kiaransalee , Flenser had a strong command of divine magic and was able to cast spells like " blade barrier " and " create undead " in service to her deity . She used the latter power to great effect by creating quth - maren for the forces of Irae T ' sarran , during the Silence of Lolth . Flenser , like other draegloth , was also a fearsome combatant and could use her innate strength and toughness to deliver powerful bites and rakes of her claws . Additionally , her long years sequestered from society had taught her to fight capably even when she couldn ' t see a foe . Furthermore , Flenser was an adept torturer and operated the torture chamber beneath the Undying Temple in Castle Maerimydra . There she practiced the art of flaying enemies of her goddess and transforming them into undead . Possessions . As her demon ic ancestry granted her numerous innate abilities , Flenser was outfitted with only a few items of note . She wore a set of " bracers of armor + 4 " and a " ring of protection + 1 " . In combat she would sometimes make use of a " wand of unholy blight " . Relationships . Flenser had a deep , abiding hatred of House Chûmavh , which had birthed her . After the House exiled her , she found kinship with the creed of Kiaransalee and even dedicated her life to the deity , renouncing Lolth . She agreed to work alongside Irae T ' sarran in order to achieve her goal of vengeance against her former House . History . Early life . Born of a union between her drow priestess mother and a glabrezu and born into House Chûmavh , the ruling house of Maerimydra , Flenser ' s birth was seen to be a great sign of Lolth ' s favor . However , when the draegloth ' s birth killed her mother , Flenser was banished from the city and forced to live as an outcast in the Deep Wastes . Upon reaching adulthood , Flenser became a cleric of Kiaransalee , which empowered her to fully embrace her vengeful urges . Silence of Lolth . In 1372 DR , Lolth ' s silence fell over the drow of Maerimydra , sending the city into chaos . Flenser seized upon this opportunity and joined forces with Irae T ' sarran , the leader of the cult of Kiaransalee in the city . House Chûmavh had barricaded themselves inside Castle Maerimydra , but on Eleint 28 , Flenser and the other cultists managed to infiltrate the castle and deposed the former ruling house . After viciously slaughtering all the Lolth - worshiping drow in Castle Maerimydra , Irae T ' sarran claimed the throne as her seat of power . On Marpenoth 17 , Irae summoned the Undying Temple to Castle Maerimydra and Flenser was granted a place in the temple as the cult ' s torturer . From there , she began flaying the corpses of their enemies and transforming them into quth - maren for Irae T ' sarran . Over time , she even transformed non - priestesses into quth - maren , notably the leader of the Hidden , Hamadh the Unseen .
