3x/day), and cast Charm Monster 1/day as a 12th level sorcerer (Will DC 15).  See below for more details.Appearance:In human form, Torr is a striking, tall, and muscular man.  His wavy black hair is worn loose, coming to just above the shoulder.  He wears a well-trimmed goatee.  His eyes are on the yellow side of brown, somewhat unnatural for an ordinary human.  When his arms are bare, matching red tattoos can be seen on the forearms.  The tattoos are quite obviously arcane in nature.Much of the time, Torr dresses as befits a minor noble.  He keeps current with the latest court fashions and frequents a number of top tailors to make sure his clothing is always impeccably cut.  In addition to the heavy gold chain he wears around his neck (Yzzar’s Warding Collar – the only unfashionable item he visibly wears), Torr always is adorned with an assortment of jewelry – necklaces and rings, usually of gold.  He is impeccable about his cleanliness and appearance at all times.In hybrid form, Torr assumes a large, bestial appearance.  The black and orange/yellow striped fur replaces his clothing.  His feet become more paw-like and both feet and fingers sprout wicked claws.  Torr’s face acquires some feline traits, including ears, fur, and elongated snout.  In this form, his Collar and tattoos remain visible.In tiger form, Torr becomes a typical tiger – perhaps on the larger end of the spectrum for the species.  Again, the Collar and tattoos are visible, marking him as something other than an ordinary beast.Personality:Torr was born a weretiger and adopted the family mold of superiority and nobility at a young age.  His family, while not of actual noble blood, was still powerful and wealthy.  Torr always assumed his kind was superior to ordinary humans and therefore he should grow into a position of power and authority.Though arrogant, Torr was also a generally good soul in his youth.  He played fair in business dealings and counted many friends.  It was in his mid-twenties when Stormrider, the symbiont, fused with Torr that everything changed.In Torr, Stormrider sensed the weretiger’s arrogance and played off it mercilessly.  The symbiont fed on powerful emotions – hatred, jealousy, pleasure, fear, lust, and desire.  It prodded Torr into behavior that would heighten these emotions, both in Torr and in others nearby.  Torr was promised and given innate powers by Stormrider in exchange for obedience.  Over time, Torr’s very personality has been twisted into an amoral and power-hungry individual.Recently, Torr has been portraying himself as a lord of a minor holding from distant lands.  He’s ingrained himself into the political scene of Andeluvay, surrounding himself with the trappings of the upper class and indulging every whim – be it his own or Stormrider’s.  Having no actual income producing properties, Torr takes on heavy muscle jobs for the Black Butterfly, and generally commands a healthy fee.  On occasion, Torr has a moment of clear lucidity, becoming the person he once was.  In these moments, he laments that which he has lost and is tortured by the heinous crimes he has committed.  He strongly suspects that Stormrider facilitates these brief moments, if only to feed on Torr’s anguish.Background:Atorrian Rythus was born to a small, wealthy merchant family in the city of Jazarra.  The weretiger community was unusually large there, and Atorrian enjoyed an elevated place in society - as though born to lesser nobility.  Throughout his youth, he was instructed in the basics of business and hunting. In his teens, it became apparent that Atorrian was not quite as gifted as his older siblings in wits or charm.  His personality was more pre-disposed to indulging his impulses and engaging in hunts than in forging a merchant empire.  His father recognized this and steered his son away from the trade end of the business and more into working the small fleet of ships that plied their goods up and down the coast.  The change of pace suited the young weretiger and he thoroughly enjoyed spending his wealth in the various ports of call.  Atorrian fled Firehaven on foot.  He feared that someone would have been able to identify him as the last to be seen with the murdered Synflower.  Overland, he traveled far in an effort to reach lands where his family had no trading interests.  For the first time in his life, he was out of money and desperate.  Stormrider saw this as an opportunity, however, and began its seductive whispers. Feeling he had little choice, Atorrian listened to Stormrider.  He assumed a new identity, that of Torr Stormrider - a minor noble, heir to an estate in a distant land.  Much to his surprise, this cover worked remarkably well.  With the symbiont's guidance (and judicious use of its ability to Charm), Torr ingratiated himself as a guest to a long string of noble houses.  In each, he would enjoy the best of their food, wine, and women. As a guest to Count Yzzar's court, Torr found a kindred spirit.  The young Count lived only for hunting and enjoying the finest things money could buy.  Yzzar had even commissioned a local wizard to craft a protective collar for his favorite hunting dog - a giant mastiff named Thorn.  After a month of developing a close companionship with the young Count, the symbiont decided it was time to feast.  It directed Torr to hunt and slay a number of local peasants and cattle, leaving behind the tracks of a large cat.  After a week of Yzzar's fruitless hunting, Torr finally confronted the Count alone in the woods.  Torr revealed his true nature and the two battled to a bloody end.  Stormrider fed greedily upon the powerful emotions of betrayal, hatred and fear while Torr claimed the slain mastiff's magical collar for his own. The last shreds of Torr's original personality mourned the loss of a friend in Count Yzzar.  A greater part of Torr savored the kill, thus completing his transformation into Stormrider's pawn.  Torr and his symbiont now work in tandem, rarely coming into conflict with one another's desires.  For just over a year, Torr has been working for the Black Butterfly.  Torr's jobs generally involve stalking and killing physically tough targets, particularly when there is a desire for the prey to know fear prior to his or her demise.  The work suits Torr and the money is good enough to maintain his cover as a decadent minor noble.  One particular job, eliminating a wizard's rival, was paid for with the powerful Titan's Mark tattoos that he now bears on his forearms.</blockquote>
