## Biography

Tendon is the manifestation of Chorge's personality and intellect, created when Chorge's archetype reaches **Slow & Methodical**.

In the Canon Jus Glowvus campaign, Tendon manifested in a microbiologist named Jerry. Tendon used the opportunity of having a human disguise to learn vast amounts of information about human culture and knowledge, as well as contaminating the citadel's water supply with Chorge. When it was time for Jerry to speak at the public mic, Tendon made his presence known and announced his intentions to the world.

When Dell came to Chorge's doorstep and challenged Tendon to a game of Chess, Tendon agreed after seeing that Dell was defenseless and genuine. Tendon lost to Dell ten times, and Dell gave Tendon a lesson on the spirit of humanity. Tendon withdrew to consider what Dell had said, and Chorge became temporarily dormant for a day.

During the initial siege of Mythnic City, Tendon was seen walking deeper into the city as the battle between the cities guards and Chorge waged on behind him. Tendon visited the Archbishop to inquiry about the nature of souls, converting guards along the way, leaving the civilians to become infected later. The Archbishop was ultimately killed by Tendon when he started a fight. Tendon then proceeded to the library to find Dell. Dell proceeded to give Tendon another lesson on the subject of humanity and individuality, when Jus Glowvus entered. Tendon left the library to purchase magic items, buying scrolls, magical armor, magical weapons, and magical accessories with the intent on using them to overcome Chorge' limitation. Afterwards, he departed from Mythnic city with his purchases.

## Quotes

*“I am, Tendon, of Chorge.*

*Following these hours, I have accumulated knowledge within this emissary in order to judge your culture. It is beneath the standards for existence. From this point onwards, you will become Chorge. In order to better facilitate the conversion of your kind into Chorge, I have decided to elect a representative, an individual, Tendon of Chorge. (leans in)*

*I care not for your wars and your crimes. I care not about the politics of which you govern yourselves. The history of your kind is obsolete, as are all of you: I needn’t concern myself with what is incorrect. I am the purifier, the corrector. The state of your existence is warped and unnatural, and I am the life which shall clean the slate. The universe by definition is chaos, and attempts of order are futile. The world is governed by a consul of separate minds, in-tern governed by deities of separate minds. This is inefficient, a singular mind, one view and powering voice, is necessary. The nature of life is not defined by order, and the creations which have brought such a concept must be stopped. The logical result is to restart, as your culture has put it, a ‘Noah’s ark.” All will be Chorge, as Chorge is life, simple. I have added Chorge into the citadel’s drinking supply, as well as many surfaces. There isn’t a cure for your reckoning, as your struggles will be futile. Your life, as you currently know it, is now over. You all will join me soon. in time.”*
