Olhas Zecuun is a friendly, gregarious individual, who seems to show blatant signs of both recent and extended slavery in body but not in spirit. Having spent months at a time in cargo holds of ships and surviving numerous tests and experiments (both from slavers and from those associated with the aboleth overlords of his race), his flesh is marked with burns, scars, and pieces surgically removed. Despite all of that, his intriguing purple eyes and never-dimming smile seem to disarm most people.
Olhas's prior life had been about hiding his abilities as best he could, being an occasional authority on things arcane or natural, using his skills in swimming to guide ships through difficult waters, scouting shoals and the like. When he was hired on his most recent vessel, a Chelish vessel of unknown passages, he was more than bit...shocked?
More shocked was when he found himself half-way through his first night (and intial payment) onboard the Horned Trader becomes less a trader and more...a commodity. His gear was stripped from him, he was gagged, and he was held in just enough water to keep from dying but not enough to keep his strength from leeching away. Before he was chained in the hold, the gillman heard mention of one name:

Mavad’Nidhuned

The words alone made him realize the trouble he was in. One of his original owners and the basis of a large criminal ring, Mavad’Nidhuned is a truly frightening aboleth, working through shadowy tactics, business fronts, and several false “Mavad”s. It was a name he hoped he'd never hear again. A name that still haunts his nightmares; a name that drives him to defeat what frightens him most.

What he doesn't yet realize is that Mayad has long disappeared and one of his false faces has actually taken over the criminal empire, claiming to be the aboleth, and is choosing to take back former “employees” who displayed extreme talent in areas of diplomacy, magic, or soldiering, so that they are supporting the cause and not coming out to expose the weakened "head" as it were.

Olhas experiences severe nightmares because of his life spent under the "care" of his former criminal overlord. Because of repeated "tests" to see the limits of his dehydration, he tends to sleep submerged underwater, his gear stored high enough to be dry and relatively safe. That's the public reason, at least. The more private reasoning is that his dream induced screams do not carry as well with water as a barrier.

* See his former master's empire toppled
* Make a name for himself
* Free other gillmen trapped in slavery
* Find a place for himself in the world (that does not involve his slave past)
