Balthamos

Balthamos is an outworlder.
==History==
Balthamos claims to be the last of angels, powerful beings who served the old dead gods before they were defeated by the Desolate One. Balthamos was a servant of the goddess Tanta, who foresaw her own death and ordered Balthamos to stand guard over the citadel of Providence. Angels with flaming swords are known to appear in dwarven religious iconography. Like Narvik, Balthamos appears to be bound to Providence and is unable to ever leave.
==Description==
Balthamos appears as a magnificent figure with the head of an elephant and great white feathered wings. He carries a burning sword, and inspires awe and terror in all who encounter him. He speaks with a deep expressionless voice.
==In the Campaign==
Vantis, Lannus and Rexxar encountered Balthamos in the outworld near the gates of the citadel of Providence, after repeatedly taking two steps forward and one step back in an attempt to follow the instructions of a mysterious riddle. Balthamos also spoke to them about Godsfall, and warned them to stay away from it due to the danger of the blasphemous scavengers. Balthamos then imbued Rexxar's sword with divine fire using a divine ember as Lannus knelt before Tanta's altar and asked to speak on behalf of the gods. He then allowed all three travellers to bathe in the waters of life.
