Czystakllae 'Huntmaster'
Knowledge... power... fear. I know them, I have gained power, they fear me. The hunt, the prey, knowledge, power, and fear. Food. Then more knowledge, more power, and more fear. Craven cowards, I act, I do the elder's brain bidding, I hunt beyond the shelter of our minions. So I am rewarded by the elder brain. Knowledge… power… fear. Coinage of the superior race. I hoard every drop, unafraid of my peers. Who will risk the slave assassin? The dominated thrall assault? They cannot with the elder behind my shoulder. I nurture my knowledge, my power grows and so does their fear. HAH! Who will step out with me into the wide world and pluck the treasures before them with their bare hands. They would not want to soil their appendages. Not for them the thrill of the cunning chase, the outwitted pawn, the final kill. More fools they. Second hand knowledge comes with a price, which I am not prepared to pay. So be it. What does the elder brain have for me today?
The elder brain commands, the sept follows. When it says fetch, mind flayer Inquisitors are sent forth to personally complete the elder's brains demands. For the self serving illithids, slave overlords and herders of human cattle, putting their own selves at risk for a cause not dear to their cold hearts there is no other more onerous or odious task. The elder brain in its turn risks the non-return of the flayers to the eventual racial pool, and the loss of its uniquely trained tools. It takes special members of the mind flayer race to be an Inquisitor. And the supra-genius elder brain seldom makes mistakes in selecting its weapons.
Czystakllae is such a mind flayer. Groomed from inseption to become an enforcer of the elder brain's will. Powerful, ruthless, beyond mercy or even the concept of it, Czystakllae is the whip of the elder brain, to reach out off its pool and punish those who transgress against the illithids. Illithids that stray, outsiders who interfere, escaped slaves and rebellious thralls; all are brought to heel by the 'Huntmaster'. A virtually untranslatable term those that bear it are held in no love by the mind flayer community. Praised and feted to their face, detested and feared by all, for they carry the authority of the elder brain with them.
Patient, cold, calculating, implacable, a master tactician. Czystakllae enters battle dispassionately, analyzing every move and prepared for a dozen contingencies. Few escape it when it hunts, even fewer escape it when brought to bay. With its special hunting companion and personal gifts of abberant power it passes across the world and to those beyond to complete its vengeful tasks.
Secrets. Knowledge denied, power hidden, unguessed fear. The foil of our race. You may be greater than I, but you do not know my secrets: you may still fear, you respect my power, you desire my knowledge. If only they did know what the elder brain has taught me, they would truly fear. But I keep my secrets close. They will not know why or how I perceive them, guessing my hound or symbiots have informed me. They think I am merely expanding the powers of my mind. They will not know that my path is one of domination, of might. It will take time, but my time will come. Until then I undertake the elder brain's wishes... my deepest designs buried behind barred iron doors in my soul.
Appearance
To an outsider there is little that distinguishes Czystakllae from any other mind flayer. Wiry, slightly broader of shoulder, a faint tracey of scars that would usually pass unnoticed around the tentacles, and with little ornament adorning its grey slimey skin. Once encased in its pale gleaming mirror-smooth thick plated armor it could pass for any humanoid with its tentacles retracted behind the visor. Indeed it is a favourite ploy of Czystakllae's where for some reason the purity of his armor seems to endear false trust as to the purity of the creature inside it. Were it not for the strange shadows that play across the clean mithral, and the corded flesh wire that creeps out of the forearm bracier, wraping and unwraping itself of its own violition around its host's left wrist, anyone might think some paladin of Pelor had arrived, the sunburst on the breastplate the final reminder of its previous owner.
To the flocks of ignorant lesser beings Czystakllae is known as 'Tak' as being simpler for their feeble minds and typing thumbs to manage. Or you may simply refer to it as Huntmaster.
