Her eyes shift color from time to time seemingly at random, and in fact, she's anything BUT a Rakshasa. The most my players have seen of her are mentions by other NPC's usually expressing fear, and two chambers in which she wrote warding spells for the buildings they were found in, spells written in blood and gore from over 20 human or githyanki corpses in each case, some of them dissected while still alive, others simply butchered by brute force, the blood written as draconic runes upon the walls to power the spells, and the spells written in such a way as to themselves form larger infernal lettering spelling out stanzas of rather angry poetry upon the walls. (and my players REALLY should have detected for undead at that point before trying to deface the spells... they hate Bodaks now *chuckle*)     In reality, the form is simply a cover and alias of the Arcanoloth Shylara Akt'atarm, Mistress of the Tower of Incarnate Pain upon the Red Prison of Carceri. She's unwilling to have her name, and Yugoloth involvement, tied to her current activities upon the Astral and other planes lest the other fiends and Oinoloth forbid, the Celestials become involved.Lord Siddhartha : Ostensibly the brother and underling to Brampandra (yes one of my players realized that Siddhartha was Buddha's name.... too smart for their own good, so much for jokes to myself), also appearing as an Albino Rakshasa sorcerer. Again, anything BUT that. In reality Siddhartha is an Ultraloth by the name of Yethmiil Kal'suth, working under Akt'Atarm as an outcast since the fall of Mydianclarus the Oinoloth in the brief but brutal Yugoloth civil war precipitated by the return of Anthraxus, and his subsequent death, and mydianclarus at the hands of the Arcanoloth Vorkannis the Ebon. (It was PRICELESS watching the look on my players faces when they nailed him with a blessed crossbow bolt, on a nat 20, got up and danced around the table, screaming in happiness, then the look when I described him getting back up, plucking out the bolt and chuckling with disdain as he tossed a prismatic spray... I'm evil...)Vorkannis the Ebon :  Newly ascended as the Oinoloth of the Wasting Tower of Khin-Oin, he appears as a jet black Arcanoloth (almost a reverse albino, very dark coat colors, but reddish albino type eyes)    If an Arcanoloth is truely what he is... his own people are frightened of him, mostly because he knows things he shouldn't, things best left forgotten, and things known of only the myth shrouded whispers and rumors of the Baern...   Perhaps most telling is that he has undergone no apparent physical change upon claiming the Seige Malicious, when even Anthraxus, nearly a demipower himself, had permenantly festering skin boils and rotting upon taking the throne atop the Wasting Tower himself. He knows too much and manipulates even the Ultraloths below him too easily to be what he claims and appears to be.   His rise to power has seen him scouring the Astral plane for the location of the corpse of Aoskar, the dead power of portals and opportunity slain by The Lady of Pain, as well as a number of other planar mysteries. (which I won't elaborate upon, for fear my players may read this).   And at the time he took his place as Oinoloth, the crawling citadel of the General of Gehenna vanished from the slopes of the furnace of perdition, gone without so much as a whisper of its passing. What this heralds is unknown...</blockquote>
