Nyrass

Nyrass is the last in the long line of sorcerers who are descendent from Soomus. He dwells alone in a great castle which stands at the outskirts of the far western town of Theelys. Nyrass appears in Brian Lumley's "Hero of Dreams".
Apart from Atal, Nyrass is the only other person known to possess a copy of the Fourth Book of D'harsis, although only Atal has ever managed to decipher the cryptic runes within. Nyrass is regarded with no small amount of suspicion and fear by the locals in Theelys, but this is more out of ignorance than for any real reason. In actual fact, Nyrass is a kindly old man. His knowledge of the history of the Dreamlands is great, exceeding that of Atal of Ulthar's, and his knowledge of sorcery is equally great.
Nyrass is a reclusive sort and seldom ventures forth from his sanctum. However, from time to time, he has been known to secretly recruit adventurers to carry out certain tasks for him. His secretiveness stems not from any form of deviousness, but from his desire not to attract any undue attention to himself.
Like his ancestors, Nyrass was a keeper of the glass sphere with Klarek-Yam imprisoned inside.
