**Description** ===
In his Natural Form he's an average height and slender Changeling with slightly darker than white skin, pale green wispy hair styled a little like Joker from Persona 5, and pure white eyes with black outlining.

He has a Mask Form that he normally uses that appears like his natural form but as a human with dark brown fuller hair, green eyes. As a cover for this form he goes by Pistachio but still uses Tash as a nickname. Through the divergent persona feature Tash has proficiency with cooking utensils and doubles that proficiency as Pistachio.

Tash usually wears a white button up shirt, a red vest over that, a black bow tie, black pants, black dress shoes, and a small black bowler hat with a red ribbon around it.

Tash’s Arcane focus is a gilded orb with several symbols on it, the two most prominent symbols are an eye within a triangle and the Yellow sign, symbol of Hastur.

### **Backstory**

He lived and worked at his family's restaurant with his father, named Britz and his mother, an elven woman named Edith. They lived there in peace for many years, keeping the Changeling nature of him and his father a secret from everyone except for a few close friends. One day, after coming back from a shopping trip, he returned to see his house/restaurant was broken into. Worried for his parent's safety, he rushed inside to see his house full of ransackary. He called for his family members with no response. With his parents missing and his house, he tried to contact the local guard, but due to a previous prank report they didn't take this one seriously. With no idea of what to do he passed out from stress. He awoke to a knock on his door. It was his grandfather, Goul, who hadn't been in contact for over 20 years. He explains that Tash comes from a long line of warlocks that got their power from the great old one Hastur and that his father was once one of the most powerful warlocks in the world. His family had been captured by a powerful Tiefling trying to ascend to godhood name Bowlin Devlman who had been recently released from the seal that his father had put on him over 20 years ago. After teaching Tash how to commune with and gain power from Hastur, Goul tells Tash that he'll have to find his parents on his own. Tash now embarks on his journey.

### **Relationships**

#### **Party Members**

Nareth - Nareth was the one that invited Tash to join the party. He considers Nareth a good friend and was sad to see him leave the party.

Kreig - Tash didn't like Kreig at first because he decided to give him the nickname "Nut Guy", because of his alias Pistachio, and because he started freaking out at an owl during his watch, waking him up and when Tash tried to fire an Eldritch Blast at the owl it backfired. Tash soon grew to like Kreig as his sad drunk paladin bro.

Kairon - Kairon was Tash's drinking buddy. The two of them bonded after getting drunk and Tash telling him the story of his parent's kidnapping.

Mnego - Tash was pretty indifferent to Mnego. He though he was way too reckless for his own good.

Aldrich - Tash didn't like Aldrich. He's convinced that Aldrich didn't even know his name because he just referred to him as "warlock". He was the one that opened the door that set off the the Glyph of Warding with the Fireball that nearly killed Tash while he was investigating the door. He also didn't seem to have known Biscotti was Tash's familiar based on him saying he thought it was a tumor after Messershmitt stabbed him at the dinner with the Duke.

Messerschmitt - Tash hated Messerschmitt. He stabbed Biscotti with a fork thinking he was food, causing Tash to prepare an Eldritch Blast.

Roy - Roy charmed Tash with his Enthralling Performance. Tash was already partial to bards due to his time with The Many Hats, and the Enthralling Performance seemed to push that over the edge, causing Tash to become way too generous to Roy, giving him the Bag of Holding and all the contents.

#### **NPC's**

Ulfgar - Ulfgar gave Tash his first mission with the party. Tash considers him a trusted friend and has asked him to watch his possessions while having dinner with the Duke.

Emilia - Emilia is one of Tash's best friends. He and the party rescued her from being trapped in a jar. After getting arrested due to not taking her husband's remarriage well, the party was asked to bail her out. The party came from the tavern and both Tash and Kairon were incredibly drunk. He seemingly made her condition worse by guessing that her husband remarried and making fun of it. The next day he and the party was asked to get her mind off her ex-husband. Tash being the charismatic warlock decided to step up and try to maybe charm her. When she became immediately way too eager to jump on his advances he quickly turned it around and made it into getting her ready for a night out on the town to get her a date with someone else. Tash paid for her tailored outfit and makeover. After some noble or something named Jason caused her to get upset after just trying to smash, Tash got infuriated and used his warlock powers to speak into his mind which ended up causing a bar fight. Tash later asked Emilia to take care of his belongings and Biscotti, thinking he'd might end up dead after meeting with Bowlin Devlman.

Beauty Salon Guy - While getting Emilia ready for her night on the town, the guy at the beauty salon offered a discount in exchange for a date. Not being one to pass up a discount, Tash instantly accepted. This might've backfired though as during their date Tash ended up saying something that got him mad and ended up having to pay the bill.

That Jason Guy - Fuck that guy

Bowlin Devlman Sr. - Tash initially hated Bowlin as he thought he was the one who kidnapped his parents, but was confuse by the fact that he believed him when he said that he had no idea what happened to him. It soon became evident that it was in fact his son that kidnapped his parents. Bowlin helped aid Tash in fighting his own son and Tash now owes him a favor.

Bowlin Devlman Jr. - He kidnapped Tash's parents, killed him, and turned him into a zombie. Tash obviously fucking hates this guy.
