The sorcerer’s origins are shrouded in mystery, but it is known that his mother was a powerful succubus from the planar city of Sigil and his father a foolish mage from Waterdeep who eventually lost his soul to his demonic lover. It is assumed that Sheveker was raised by his mother in the massive labyrinthine extra planar city and there learned to harness his innate magic and to revere the demon lord Grazzt. It is unknown when and how Sheveker came to Faerun but he was already a powerful spellcaster when he established himself in Vaasa and began building a base of power in the barren expanse of that isolated country.Sheveker ran afoul of Hazergal almost immediately for the crazed archmage also made his home in Vassa and would brook no rivals in his domain. The two spellcasters began their century long campaign of vicious feuding with a titanic spell battle high above the plains of Vassa. It was the first and only time that Sheveker and Hazergal ever met face to face, a meeting that left both spellcasters on the brink of death and filled with a deep hatred of each other. After their fateful meeting Sheveker and Hazergal battled each other only through their various minions and fought each other to a complete standstill. It was only after Hazergal’s miscast summoning spell snatched a mephit warrior from his home plane that the tides began to turn against Sheveker, and would eventually lead to his total defeat.Sheveker was born of the union of a succubus and a human man, his mother like all of her kind held an unearthly beauty that she passed on to her son. Sheveker stands well over 7 feet in height and is powerfully muscled; his deep red skin is smooth and unblemished, lacking any imperfections. The sorcerer’s face is noble and handsome, betraying its fiendish heritage only through the two small ivory horns that jut from Sheveker’s brow and his black lusterless eyes that lack pupils or any shred of compassion. Sheveker’s hands are always gloved for they too hint at his true nature, twisted and gaunt his hands bear long iron hard talons that Sheveker takes pains to hide unless he is using them to tear an enemy’s flesh. Sheveker prefers to rely on his powerful magic in battle but on occasion he will enter melee using his claws or more likely his powerful short spear, Plague Bite. The Mithral shortspear Plague Bite was a gift from Sheveker’s demonic patron Grazzt, and is truly a weapon of darkest evil. Forged in the unending darkness of the abyss, the vile weapon is blessed by Grazzt’s own dark magics and has been know to draw the very soul from a victim transferring the stolen life energy to its wielder. Sheveker is far from finished on this plane; his defeat at the hands of the earth mephit Nithrekel was only a minor setback in his grand schemes of power. He now bides his time waiting to see if the bargain struck with Nithrekel will lead to the demise of his hated rival Hazergal and allow the evil sorcerer to usurp his power in Vaasa.</blockquote>
