Nog the Furbious

Nog the Furbious was one of the necromancers who formed The Tearful Three, along with Pwet Terse and Trooth the Dint. They signed a trifecta contract establishing equality among them and determined to create an "empire of horrifying tyranny".Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 3, p.11-13 The Tearful Three settled into a derelict fortress near Earbeford to begin founding their empire.
Nog's ugliness was "beyond belief" and "every child's nightmare". He had a pocked, spotty, oily, and mishmashed face with greasy hair, which sprouted in a few strands and clumps from his pate and jawline. His body odour was so unpleasant that Trooth the Dint struggled not to recoil from it. Nog's expression maintained a natural leer and he wore black robes.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 3, p.12Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 1, p.6
His diet consisted of "exudations, and renderings, distillations and extractions, essences and tinctures from tidbits and morsels."Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 9, p.44 He regularly bathed in rendered gall bladders.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 3, p.14
Nog thought Pwet Terse to be a raving lunatic.
Zwalt was his manservant. 
==In Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords==
The Tearful Three first set their sights on conquering Earbeford, the wealthy town that sat below their keep. Nog was especially desirous of replenishing his supply of gallbladders and other items for his daily toilet.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 3, p.15 When the town leaders refused to recognise the Three as their lieges, the necromancers set about raising an army of undead to annihilate them. Before their army was ready, Pwet Terse was stricken with tetanus and no longer able to participate. Nog and Trooth left her stiffened body propped against her throne to keep her out of the way.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 19, p.77
Nog was eager to hear what his future held, and sent a group of undead to sneak into Earbeford and kidnap Burok, the town Manuromancer. The mage studied Nog's excrement with Nog curiously looking over his shoulder and demanding to know what the abundant number of curlicues in the sample meant. Burok downplayed their appearance and requested more time to complete his report. Nog hired him on full time as his personal diviner.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 9, p.43-46 Later, when Burok admitted that the curlicues were the sign of a fatal infestation of the Kileptre parasite originating from consuming tainted organ meat, Nog angrily fired him and sent him back to the town to face extermination.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 19, p.79-80
By the time the Tearful Three's army was ready to attack, the Earbeford town council had hired the famed necromancers, Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, for their own defense. Nog the Furbious and Trooth the Dint were shaken to see Bauchelain march towards the keep as the undead army parted at the sight of his flaming longsword. A gibbering and fearful Nog rolled Pwet Terse's petrified body down the hill to lay at Bauchelain's feet, shouting, "Her! Take her! Don't kill me! I've got worms!" But Bauchelain stepped over the paralyzed woman and Nog was forced to unveil his warren. Then Korbal Broach alit on Nog's head, removed the top of Nog's skull and pulled out his brain and spinal column. Zwalt fell to his knees and vomited before he too was cut down.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 25, p.88-90 Trooth was soon quickly slain as well.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 25, p.88-89Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 27, p.91-92
