Gnoggus-Krachos

Gnoggus-Kracus is a troll, one of the oldest and most powerful to exist. It is said that he is the most intelligent being to have ever existed, and that it was he who laid down the foundations of necromancy for the salamanders in the wake of the Ancient Ones' departure from time. Whether or not this is true, he certainly stands as the undisputed master of the life arts in modern times, his skill surpassing that of even the oldest proto-dragon. It was Gnoggus who formulated the creation of flesh, the only substance able to serve as a self-propagating vessel for souls. He is also known simply as Gnoggus, and alternative spellings of his name include Gnoggus-Kraccus, Nogus-Cracus, Knog-Krak and many more.
