The Riven Lands

A hulking, asymmetrical Tiefling with a patchwork of coarse, stitched-together hides and perpetually exposed, malformed bones. Bald head with prominent vestigial horns, glowing ember eyes, and a perpetual wide grin revealing sharp, mismatched teeth. Wears heavy, blood-stained leather aprons over his grotesque form.

Ghast-Bone is a cold, calculating overseer who commands with ruthless efficiency and a grim sense of dark humor. He is utterly devoted to the Archon's vision and views pain and suffering as necessary tools for progress. He is intimidating and unyielding, but also possesses a twisted pride in his grotesque form and the horrific creations he oversees.

Ghast-Bone was not born to lead but was one of the Archon's earliest and most successful "experiments" in Malcoria, his body a living testament to the dictator's vile craft. He embraced his transformation, becoming utterly loyal to the Archon's vision of "breeding and controlling corrupted life." He commands the "Charnel House of Forms," overseeing the daily "painful transformations" of captives and recruits. He teaches through brutal demonstration, forcing students to participate in horrifying grafts and foul experimentation, ensuring they understand the limitless possibilities and the constant risk of "creations turning rogue."
