**Biography**

Creed Amnon Lados Therai, Priest of the Stranger, Challenger of the Wicked, and Mortician of the Sacred Grounds of the Remembered and Ill-Forgotten of Greywatch (or simply Creed, for short) was originally born in Avernus. Plagued by constant war against demonic forces, the Tiefling people of Avernus have gathered their best wizards and mages in an attempt to send their people to Xerros as refugees of war. Creed’s parent were two of these mages and were only able to harness enough power to send a very young Creed, not themselves. The young Tiefling was teleported to Xerros and was found on the outskirts of Greywatch by the town’s local priest, a human named Mathias Therai. Creed was raised by Mathias in the Greywatch Church of The Stranger and became his adopted son.

After being baptized in the sacred soil, Creed Amnon Lados (named after three great clerics of the church’s past) became a priest within the Greywatch Church, learning the teachings of The Stranger and devoting his life to blessing those recently deceased, performing sacred burial rites, and spreading his faith the locals. One evening after completing an extensive burial ritual, The Stranger himself appeared to Creed in the Greywatch graveyard. Dressed in a dark cloak with his face hidden in shadow, The Stranger explained to Creed that his destiny was to preserve the dead and help their spirits find the afterlife. Knowing that his purpose was far greater than remaining at the church in Greywatch, Creed took up his shield and spear and left his small coastal town, destined to fulfill his purpose in the universe.

After adventuring through Axenforge with the rest of the party, Creed was killed by General Oothok Spinebreaker. The party buried his body but his spirit was met by The Stranger who told him "your work is not yet done". Now an ethereal being, Creed joined The Stranger and traveled to The Astral Sea where they met a voyaging group of Deep Gnomes and Gith refugees.

Back on the physical plane, Krull, the Archvile, reanimated Creed's corpse and reanimated it as his undead servant. The undead Creed rode a powerful plague worm and protected Krull against the attacking party but Creed's undead form was eventually burned to ash by Chachi.

Back in the Astral Sea, Creed pulled Rolf Dolan, who recently got warped into the Astral Sea after traveling through the Black Gate, out from the Sea of Stars. The two friends, although confused to see each other, were happy to be reunited once again.

**Personality**

Being a man of the cloth, Creed is usually stoic and serious. He often acts as the voice of reason for the rest of his adventuring party and his peers see him as somewhat of a wise father figure. Even in battle, Creed makes an effort to not desecrate the bodies of his enemies and often prays over the fallen. Because he was so young when was sent to Xerros, Creed has forgotten most of Avernus entirely. He retains some broken Infernal Tongue as well as images of his fiery, red world but otherwise has no memory of life before Greywatch. He is very protective of his loved ones and is often the first to put himself between a friend and potential danger.
