Nakros

Nakros was a priest of Persana who was transformed into a creature by an entity called Kal'dazzum.

Appearance
Before his transformation and after his death, Nakros looked like an ordinary triton man. When he was transformed, he had purple skin and was covered in scales and barnacles. He also had two long tentacles hanging from his face and tentacle-like suckers on his hands. He wore a coat of cloth and seaweed, at least after entering Kal'dazzum's service.

Personality
In their encounter with Nakros, the Pog Champions likely saw little of his true personality. When he was in control of his own actions, he was often smirking confidently. When channeling the voice of Kal'dazzum, he generally scowled.

Background
Nakros was a priest of Persana in Aquos and was well-respected. During the Stormbringing Festival of 598, Nakros went missing during an attack on Aquos. In fact, he was captured by the invading sea spawn and sahuagin and brought before an entity named Kal'dazzum, who transformed him when he became their servant. While it is possible that Nakros willingly decided to join Kal'dazzum's cause, it seems more likely that he was forced into submission, considering his previous position.

The Desperado Arc
Nakros led a group of sea spawn and sahuagin in an attack on the Desperado once it entered Laverthian waters. He confronted the party of adventurers on board and channeled the voice of Kal'dazzum, speaking in a double-layered voice in both Common and Primordial, as Kal'dazzum claimed responsibility for the destruction of Aquos and the storm covering the Eadrenan Sea. Nakros then engaged the party in battle. He perished when Briar’s Blight spell sucked all of the moisture out of his body. After his death, his form reverted to that of an ordinary triton.

Goals
Nakros’s goals likely changed drastically after his domination by Kal'dazzum. Before his death, he was tasked with killing the Pog Champions and crew of the Desperado on Kal'dazzum's behalf.

Abilities
Nakros was able to electrify his hands and either electrocute those he touched or throw balls of lightning at enemies. He is also able to channel Kal'dazzum, allowing the creature to see and speak through him in a double-layered voice. Nakros was also a traditional spellcaster, although his exact spells are unknown since Reides counterspelled his attempts to cast them.

Nakros and Kal’dazzum
At the time of his death, Nakros worked in the service of Kal'dazzum and seemed to have great loyalty to his new master. However, it is currently unknown how much Nakros originally resisted Kal'dazzum. Kal'dazzum also seems to place some degree of trust in Nakros, relying on him to eliminate the Pog Champions and the Desperado without their intervention.
