Unkuan Youan

**Unkuan Youan** was a powerful lord among the Serpenites, the largest kingdom of the Slitheriene serpent-folk on the world of Truma. He was disgruntled with the state of affairs in his kingdom, mainly the worship of Dirth and Tiamat, instead of the once beloved Serpent God. He schemed quite a lot in his time, leading to the rise of his daughter Sorleia Youan.

## Biography:

Unkuan Youan was born in the shattered realm of the Serpent folk in the loosely united realms. Scattered city states often warred with each other, as well as their foreign neighbors.

The main goal of these conflicts was not to gain land or wealth but captives to appease their dark gods, of whom they both revere and hate.  Unkuan was born in this chaos to the city state of Ses’saltak and was raised to rule that great temple city. He trained from youth in the lore of shadow, becoming a master of illusion and intrigue.  After his father was captured and sacrificed by one of their rival city states, Unkuan took his position as priest overlord of Ses’saltak.

Bitter at his father's death and growing to hate the dark gods he was sacrificed to, he began to plot to free his people from the dark ones, and bring serpent dominance over the southlands, and possibly the world.  He married Neheriess, a powerful sorceress and daughter of another overlord to gain the aid of her power and her mother’s cities forces as allies in his attempts to create a great military and political force.

With his bride he had a single child, the willful daughter Sorleia, whom he raised as his successor. Soon the snakes will leave the jungle to expand their influence over the world.

## Personality:

Cold and intelligent, he cares little for those not of the serpent blood, and despises his dark gods, making many sacrifices to keep them at bay.  Pragmatic to the core, he does not let his peoples want for blood hinder their survival, refusing to raid the dwarves or Ogres as to not gain their ire, in fact he has made attempts to trade with the latter. His plans are long and subtle, with him keeping his cards near his chest.Though outwardly cold and cruel, he cares deeply for his people and family doing his all to make a better future for them, no matter how many hearts he must tear out to do so.

## Powers:

**Adept Wizard:** Unkuan is experienced in arcane arts.

**Illusionist**: Youan is skilled in confusing and tricking people´s minds with magical illusions.

**Invoker of the Serpent God:** In these days, Unkuan is one of the few people who worships his people’s rightful god.

**Master of Intrigue:** Priest-Overlord spent his long life plotting in the shadow, and as such, he is an experienced veteran in the subtle art.

**Political Knowledge:** Unkuan is a big fish in politics, manipulating major events to his benefit, and by extension, the Serpent God´s.
