Nakros

Nakros was a transformed triton priest in service to an entity called Kal'dazzum.

Appearance
Originally and after his death, Nakros appeared to be an ordinary triton. At the time of his attack on the Desperado, he had been transformed, presumably by Kal'dazzum. He had purple skin, covered in scales and barnacles, and two long tentacles hanging from his face. He also had tentacle-like suction cups on his hands. He wore a sleeveless coat of cloth and seaweed.

Personality
When the Pog Champions encountered Nakros, he may not have been behaving as he normally would. Considering that he was a priest of Persana who seems to have been well-respected, it is unlikely that he willingly submitted to Kal'dazzum's will. As himself, he often smirked confidently, although he didn't engage the Pog Champions in conversation. His demeanor shifted completely when possessed by Kal'dazzum, scowling and addressing the party in a commanding, double-layered voice.

Background
Before the attack on Aquos, Nakros was a priest of Persana, who seems to have been well-respected. While Reides was unfamiliar with him, Viglis knew him. During the attack on Aquos during the Stormbringing Festival in 598, Nakros seems to have been taken by the invading horde. He entered the service of an entity called Kal'dazzum, likely against his will, and was transformed into a sea spawn-like creature.

The Desperado Arc
Nakros led a group of sea spawn in an assault on the Desperado, aiming to eliminate the ship and the adventurers on board. When he came face to face with the Pog Champions, he channeled the voice of Kal'dazzum, who commanded Nakros to rid its kingdom of "pests." However, Nakros was ultimately killed by Briar's Blight spell, which sucked all of the moisture out of his body. After his death, Nakros's body reverted to that of a regular triton.

Goals
While Nakros's personal goals are unknown to the Pog Champions, at the end of his life, he wanted to serve Kal'dazzum by eliminating the Pog Champions.

Abilities
As a result of his service to Kal'dazzum, Nakros is able to channel them. This allows Kal'dazzum to perceive and address beings from a distance. While speaking as Kal'dazzum, Nakros's voice became double-layered: One voice speaks in Common, while the other speaks in Primordial. He is also able to channel lightning through his hands and electrocute people by touch or by flinging the lightning at them. In addition to this ability, Nakros is also a traditional spellcaster, although his attempt to cast something during his encounter with the Pog Champions was interrupted by Reides's counterspell.

Nakros and Kal'dazzum
While Nakros appeared to be loyal to Kal'dazzum at the end of his life, it is unknown if he swore fealty to them willingly or if he was forced into submission. Kal'dazzum also appears to have placed a degree of trust in Nakros, commanding him to rid their kingdom of the Pog Champions and the Desperado.
