Message: <blockquote data-quote="demiurge1138" data-source="post: 1931275" data-attributes="member: 7451">Klattu M. was always an odd child. Raised in Luskan by his mother, a human bartender, his precocious demeanor and strange appearance made him a potential liability. His father was a renegade drow elf, who was horribly killed by his family hunting him from the Underdark. In order to keep him out of trouble, his mother enlisted Klattu in the wizard's academy in Luskan, where he swiftly picked up the craft, despite the fact that he was just supposed to be a serving boy.Klattu escaped from the oppresive Academy and made his way south to Waterdeep, where, after a few abortive and nearly lethal adventures, he joined the Mage Guild and soon became a fairly minor buearocrat and wand-crafter. This was before he discovered A Treatise on Beings of the Far Realm.Fascinated with the study of alienism, Klattu became an adventurer again as to better plumb the depths of the strange beings of pseudonature. Along the way, he attracted an only partly deserved reputation as a genius on magical creatures of all kinds, as well as serious delusions of grandeur. When last seen, Klattu had established a fortress in Limbo, attempting to discover the key to godhood.Fairly tall for a half-elf, Klattu's distinctive grey skin and white hair make him easy to spot in a crowd. More disturbing, but slightly less noticable, are his mismatched eyes (one red, one green) and the second pair of needle-like teeth in his jaws, a legacy of his tinkering with Things Man Was Not Meant to Know. He favors black cloaks and is rarely seen without his distinctive purple Hat of Disguise (sadly, the hat is incapable of disguising itself) and Chaosfang, an icy scythe he picked up as a gift from a sympathetic cleric.Klattu's claim to fame came during the invasion of the Third Hell, an expedition arranged by his increasingly corrupt "friends". Despite the fact that the invasion was simply an excuse to collect the head of the Executioner of Hell in order to enter an alliance with Demogorgon, Klattu participated willingly, in order to blacken the eye of Evil (and see the sights along the way). During an epic battle with Atrogo, Prince of All Cornugons, Klattu summoned a white slaad, which burst from his body, causing Klattu great harm. The fact that Atrogo suffered great harm in the process made the sacrifice worth it, however.</blockquote>
