Rictor Gravesworth

## Stats

**Rictor Gravesworth** was an Aasimar Oathbreaker Paladin and Hexblade Warlock who temporarily possessed the Aegis of Effulgence and the Veil of the Dawnbringer before his demise at the Silver Crusaders, who sought those items to defeat the Chomatic Generals.

## Description

#### Appearance

Rictor was a humanoid with gray skin and purple eyes, clad in heavy armor, the Aegis, and the Veil. When using his Necrotic Shroud, Rictor sprouted two black flightless wings from his back, and his eyes turned completely black. While using one Hexblade's Curse, his left eye's iris turned purple, and his right iris turned purple when Seven was inflicted with the Curse.

### Personality

Rictor was sadistic and cruel, striking mercilessly. He also possessed a fair amount of battle intelligence, shown by partially negating Belzoff's difficult terrain by using his Relentless Hex Eldritch Invocation, and took down some of the Crusaders individually after whittling them down with a Hellfire Orb and Cone of Cold.

## Synopsis

### Background

At one point, Rictor was a paladin of Pelor, but then became an Oathbreaker for an unknown reason. He also acquired the Veil of the Dawnbringer and the Aegis of Effulgence at other points, and was under the servitude of Maldredier.

### Arc 2: Curse of the Generals

Rictor was wandereing the wastleland of the Beggar's Bane before he was encountered by the Silver Crusaders. When they found him, Rictor had killed two adventurers, and summoned Wraiths from their corpses. The fight was long and grueling for both sides, with Belzoff transmuting the battlefield into extremely difficult terrain with *Transmute Rock* and *Plant Growth*. Rictor managed to slay Manfred early on in the battle, as well as eventually impale Kibble. When the odds turned in Rictor's favor, Belzoff closed him off in a prison of stone trapped with Seven, who Rictor stabbed. Rictor was looking near death at this point in the fight, so the party took time to revive their comrades and execute Rictor when the wall dropped, the final blow coming from a revived Kibble. The Aegis and Veil were taken by the Crusaders after the battle.
