Quassinetor is an elected official, appointed by the Elder Concord to take charge of oppressing the thrall population through dream manipulation.  He dresses primarily in dark purples and blacks, and has a long scar along one arm (usually hidden beneath a sleeve) from a battle with a paladin eight years ago.  He feels that the terror and disgust the thralls and other races feel toward mind flayers is an ideal tool for illithid domination.  He promotes this perception at all times, and works hard to be as intimidating as possible, and advises other mind flayers to do the same.  He has studied humanoid nightmares and is an expert in creating horrifying dream scenarios.  He tends to make throaty, growling noises.

Mind Blast (Sp): This attack is 60 feet long.  Anyone caught in this cone must succeed at a Will save (DC 17) or be stunned for 3d4 rounds.

Psionics (Sp): At Will – Astral projection, charm monster, detect thoughts, levitate, plane shift, and suggestion.  These abilities are as the spells cast by an 8^th level sorcerer (Save DC 13+ spell level)

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the mind flayer must hit a small to large critter with its tentacle attack.  If it gets a hold, it attaches the tentacle to the opponent's head.  After a successful grab, it can try to attach its remaining tentacles with a single grapple check .

Extract (Ex): A mind flayer that begins its turn with all four tentacles attached and successfully maintains its hold automatically extracts the opponent's brain, instantly killing the creature.

Telepathy (Su): Mind flayers can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language.
