Osbazokt

Osbazokt is a Mind flayer, but his body has the appearence of an elf due to his failed ceremorphis process. As a result, he was considered a lesser being by both other mindflayers and himself. To make himself useful, he became a spy to investigate the surface for his people.

While attempting to investigate the treasures of Utharox, he was turned to stone by the dragon. Utharox was able to figure out Osbazokt's true nature, and added the curiosty to his treasure hoard.

There he remained for many years until the Tower of 8 came to Greed valley to slay the dragon. Afterwards, they started to turn everyone who had been turned to stone to normal. Osbazokt quickly gained the upperhand in the situation by reading their minds as they questioned him, and when he noticed that they were heading towards Tiamat's fall he joined them in order to return to his people. When they had to leave due to the arrival of Captain Permon Dalléi and Kristina Steiner, Osbazokt offered the Tower of 8 to help by clearing out their scouts. In reality this was a ploy for his real reason, he was hungry for brains and the scouts would provide an oppertunity.

When they managed to escape and could properly start travelling northwards, Osbazokt took note of Lia Teasen'Neldeth's odd thoughts and suspected that the origins of her powers was something unusual.

When they arrived at Tiamat's fall, the adventurers find housing for the first night after preparing to investigate the next day. But that night, Lia was possesed by her patron Rose and was about to head towards the cracks to the underdark. But she was intercepted by Osbazokt, who wanted to figure out this mystery before he joined his people below. This left Osbazokt and Rose in a complex mindbattle which spiraled out of control, drawing everyone in the house into it. As Renegade, Sho, Kyle and Morelét headed deeper into the unconcious minds of the combatants and Lia who was caught between them, they saw Osbazokts memories. And at his deepest, his greatest shame of being a failed ceremorphis, revealing his self-loathing. They battled this reflection, and while Sho attempted to appeal to his need for acceptance, the battle ended in tragedy as Morelét's mind was destroyed in the battle which killed him. The other adventurers managed to end the conflict when Lia rejected Rose from herself.

After they awoke from their shared experience, Osbazokt tried to flee but Sho followed. Sho merely asked to join him for a while to help him, which Osbazokt agreed to. They both travelled down one of the cracks and through a complex cavern found Osbazokt's people. There, Osbazokt shared everything he had learned since last he was there before recieving a new mission. He was to transport a guardian, the Gold-flecked oblex, to a dungeon where tlincalli ritualistic instructions resided.

During the travels, he geniunly listened to what Sho had to say about being a hero, about being unique and how he could find the acceptance he sought from other people than his own kind. They continued to travel, even after the guardian had been delivered, and eventually Sho's word stuck which lead Osbazokt to change alignment to Lawful neutral.

When Sho learned from Alivar the Free that Lutecia would be attacked, he immediatly said yes to his old master's call to help others. After some hesitation, Osbazokt also agreed, and both helped evacuate people during the bout and also directly helped the Tower of 8's fights.
