## Out-of-Universe Information

### Creator

Shadow North

**Bafometh** was a high ranking member in the Great Necromancer Cult, a High Priest and Organizer to be exact. He was an very infamous example of someone in the Great Necromancer Cult being so obsessed with their agendas and goals that-ironically, the "Wormed-Lord" (an ancient Necromancer whom Bafometh holds in high regard) would be somewhat disgusted with the"practices and holiday practices" and unnecessary brutal rituals done in "Wormed-Lord´s name" Bafometh has allowed the Cult to do (granted that had been a problem with the cult ever since "Wormed-Lord" disappeared from the plane of existance but the cult under Bafomerth suffered with the problems the worst, especially). Bafometh is also responsible for the decline of Water-Dragon families (Well, aside from the Shang Tu-Parusa War)

## History

Bafometh, was a skilled Necromancer, so much so he managed to achieve Lichdom and by that has a Lich-form and even an "armored" variation of said form and became a High Priest and Organizer of Great Necromancer Cult.

### Schemes as High Priest

#### The Puppet-Sect of the Great Necromancer Cult

Together with Mefiztofelez, Bafometh had many schemes and plans which, for one were they did research on various dark artifacts, alchemist ingredients and items from other dimensions and planes of existance and studying deities, ranging from morally dubious to outright demonic deities and gods from various pantheons of Avalice. One of these schemes involved a scheme in the Kingdom of Sanskrit, in the royal capital region Kamaljadspanacotta, where he manipulated an obsessed, loner hermit priest dedicated to the Chaotic Neutral Goddess of the Sanskrit´s pantheon/religion known as Cauliflowamama. The priest was an Avalician Hyena known as Rólá-Mám (Bafometh would partially base his son´s name after Rola-Mam as a symbol of one of his greatest achievements) who was obsessed with appeasing the Chaotic Neutral Goddess Cauliflowamama, Bafometh would manipulate Róla-Mám into experimenting with Dark Magic, accompanied with Róla-Lám´s obessions and insecurities, which open up Róla-Mám´s heart and mind to darkness for Bafometh (in his lich form) to put his will and part of his mind inside Róla-Mám´s mind. Bafometh would use Róla-Mám to create a radical deluded sect dedicated to Cauliflowamama and have it located in an mysterious great temple which Róla-Mám would nickname Temple of Cauliflowamama´s Zoom(-in). Róla-Mám, acting out Bafometh´s desires, had his cult to sacrifice monks and clerics and maidens to the Chaotic Neutral Goddess in order to have so called "Cauliflowamama flowers" to grow and to, supposedly have a type of ore containing materials that was already under the temple, to keep generating and growing for the puppet-sect to mine and test. This ore probably was a type of ore of minerals that is associated with the mythological and legendary Primodial Tengu and believed to come from their dimension where they are sealed away. The puppet-sect would also steal Divine Sacred Spiritual Stones from every town, village and city in the entire Kingdom as they could find and take civilians, including literal babies as captives and slaves to work in the mines. With the mixing of they mystical plants associated with the Chaotic Neutral Goddess, the minerals (known as Malicious Matter) in a crystal bottle made from crystal Malicious Matter with water, would create a mud like substance, which the possessed Róla-Mám would refer to as "Dark Wine of Cauliflowamama" which had extrodinary but wicked effects (and strange conditions and limitations), effects like if someone ingest food which have been tainted with the "Dark Wine", they would enter into a trance like state for 48 Hours after falling into a high fever sleep after the moment they take the first bite of the tainted food.

However, thanks to the efforts of the Treasure-Hunter and Mercenary, Calzone "Soap" Tea (Father of Carol and her siblings), the Puppet-Sect was defeated and stopped and by that, Bafometh´s ambitions and goals of the Puppet-Sect never fully reached its true potential. However, tragically, as no one knew that Bafometh or the Cult was the real villain of this grand conspiracy, Róla-Mám was imprisoned for a lifetime and to make matters more tragic for the tale of the insecure hermit, Róla-Mám genuienly believed he was guilty and pleaded to insanity, barely remembering Bafometh asserting his will over his.

#### Hunting for Water Dragon Hatchlings and Eggs

40 years before the Brevon Crisis, Bafometh schemed to sacrifice so many unhatched/unborn Water Dragons and infant/baby Water Dragon in Dark Magic and Demonic Rituals, wether they be pureblooded or half-dragons, in hopes it would somehow aid the cult to either find a way to bring back "Wormed-Lord" back to the plane of existance, to find the pieces of the Necronomicon or a combination of both. Bafometh and Mefiztofelez would be scrying for known locations of Water Dragon hatchlings and unhatched infants throughout Avalice (although primarily in the Tri-Kingdom continent) and then send out Cultists and Agents of the Cult to raid the homes, killing most of the families and taking the unhatched eggs and infant hatchlings and then bringing them to Bafometh´s screwed up Dark Magic rituals where they would be sacrificed in a child sacrifice in the most dark and gruesome ways through Demonic Rituals and Dark Magic Rituals. It is unknown HOW these senseless Dark Magic rituals would the ambitions of finding and restoring the Necronomicon or for that matter to give clues on how to resurrect "Wormed-Lord" or if these were just depraved and nonsensical worshipping methods. All of this, accompanied with the Cult´s presence and activites led to societal mass hysteria.

##### One specific Water Dragon Egg out of reach

15 Years before the events of FP1, Bafometh had been scrying over the world to find more Water Dragon families and he happened to find one home north of Dragon Valley north-east from Shang Tu and slightly south-east from Shuigang where there lived one female Water Dragon who was blue and a Avalician red Hedgehog male who had a 7 year old Half-Water Dragon son and 2 eggs that had yet to be hatched. Bafometh and Mefiztofelez sent out 13 cult members to get those 2 eggs to Bafometh so there would be another ritual for his schemes. The 13 cultists bursted into the home and a small skirmish ensued. WIP

## Personality And Traits

Bafometh was known for being ruthless High Priest of the cult, having a huge hubris and believing what he was alongside Mefiztofelez was doing to serve the will of "Wormed-Lord" and to bring "Wormed-Lord" back or at least find pieces of the Necronomicon to restore it and by that Bafometh believed that the ends justify the means. It is unknown if Bafometh was truly "friends" with Mefiztofelez and Alastor or if it was a case of camaraderie with shared interests and passions. As for his "wife/partner", it is unknown if Bafometh truly loved her, if she really was a wife or concubine (and at worst, somekind of Slave Leia and Jabba relationship stuff assuming she was not a direct member of the cult ) or if he merely saw her as a means to continue his bloodline. Regardless, it did seem however that Bafometh really had a great sense of pride of his son Moralam, so much so that Moralam would develop a grudge and hatred towards Murleen and even a unreasonable seething hatred towards Murleen´s students, associates and even those who are merely friends, associates or just friendly with Murleen´s students ever since Murleen defeated Bafometh

## Triva

Bafometh´s name and the fact of him being a goat is primarily based of Baphomet, s sinister figure from folklore, whose appearence is associated with The Devil himself. Baphomet is a symbol of a nexus and equilibrum of opposites. Note the depiction above and parts of it is slightly detracted due to the suggestive implications of said parts of the Baphomet
* Bafometh´s name is the alternation of "Baphomet" and mixed with the term "meth" , the latter term being a certain infamous narcotic known as Methamphetamine that is usually in crystal form. The former name/word "Baphomet" is the name for a entity, "deity" or creature from folkore representing a nexus of opposites and also being associated with The Devil. The real world Knights Templar Order were accused of worshipping Baphomet and doing blasphemous things such as peeing on crosses etc etc.
