Flesh Thief

The Flesh Thief is a Great Old One.
== Description ==
The Flesh Thief is a conglomerate of many aberrations known as tsochar. A typical tsochar is itself a collective of many thickly coiled, rope-like strands that are as strong as iron cables that end in a barbed cluster. Normally, twenty or thirty of these strands form a tangle, though fewer than that can congregate with a lesser intelligence. The Flesh Thief's total count of strands numbers in the tens of thousands. Segments of the Flesh Thief can be removed and operate independently, though always able to connect with the greater intelligence of the whole. In addition to the capabilities of the greatest of tsochar, the Flesh Thief is capable of a great many feats of illusion and enchantment magic innately. 
=== Worshippers ===
The Flesh Thief does not actively seek worshippers, but will take over the body of a ruler of a town, city, or even a kingdom to gain absolute power. This is known by the Flesh Thief to be a risky endeavor, so more often than not they avoid large scale, well-known hosts. 
==== The Flesh Thief's Pact ====
The pact with the Flesh Thief is simple: willingly take strands of the Great Old One into one's own body. With that, a creature serves as a nest for part of the greater being and, when they feel the pact-bearer would serve as a greater host for the whole of the creature than its current host, they would migrate into the pact-bearer and override its will and persona entirely. 
== History ==
=== Formation ===
Little is known of how a larger than normal grouping of tsochar strands came to gather in a small town in the Stormloft Kingdom of the Parnak Empire. It is believed that many of them are merely temporal duplicates of others in the collective that were shunted into the world of Urz as a side effect of the time manipulations of the chronomancer Kardiff. When they came to become whole, they were found by an unfortunate adventurer that many others thought was killed by giant centipedes. It was the Flesh Thief, who would later come to enter the town of Hilton as the deceased adventurer, using his status as a folk hero to gain an audience with the town's lord, Anton Haverhill.
