Appearance: Remarkably brawny for a mind-flayer, Yvhul'ku would stand out like a sore thumb among his kin, these days. Against his violet skin, vibrant blue sigils and heiroglyphs stand out in stark relief as they wreath his body from head to toe. Even his quartet of facial tentacles that dangle nearly to his waist were not spared the artistic treatment. They encircle a mouth of tiny, needle-like teeth while above, his pale white eyes survey the world with a severe intensity. Aside from the rags that he garbs himself with, more for the sake of others than for himself, his only possession is the amulet that gleams from its place around his neck.
History: Originally a fairly garden-variety mind flayer, Yvhul'ku was perfectly content to help piece together grand machinations to provide ever more power and control for his people. Enthralling innocents and hated enemies alike to serve as thralls, working behind the scenes to subtly tip the hand in humanoid politics, honing his psionic abilities. All of this was his bread and butter right up until he was "liberated" by Goodwin. Now, Yvhul was by no means a simple creature. Quite the opposite; his years of consuming the the minds of others made sure of that. He knew very well that he had been kidnapped and for a time, he resisted the Archmage's efforts to convert him. In the end, it was not kindness or clever brainwashing that turned the mind flayer to his cause. It was a simple willingness to teach when Yvhul displayed an interest in alchemy. Having always been idly curious about magics and with how similar this particular art was to the genetic tampering his people were known for, it was a match made in... Well, the demiplane. The seed had been planted in his mind, whether or not he realized it then. Over time, as his interests expanded and Goodwin continued to offer tutelage in whatever area he wished to explore, a certain modicum of trust and respect bloomed. A lack of politics to dabble in within the demiplane lead to his exploration of more martial practices. Being unable to sup upon the brains of those around him left Yvhul to find a means of controlling such urges. He found the solution in meditation and training his mind in ways he never would have, back in the world he knew. With each new skill or bit of knowledge learned, Yvhul quickly grew to like the Archmage and even came to consider him a friend. But with Goodwin now gone, the only question is whether he will retain what he learned or snap back to his old ways. Goals: During his time on Goodwin's demiplane, Yvhul'ku was content to simply perfect his skill in the alchemical arts alongside his newfound fondness for martial practices. Both did wonders to help him quell his desires to feast on the minds of those around him and let his mind wander to greener pastures. Now that Goodwin has gone missing however, he finds himself driven to find his mentor and friend. Along the way, he hopes to learn perhaps a bit more of the culture he was spirited away from. Not only in what became of them in the past ten thousand years, but also what effect they have had on the rest of this world. Personality: Sardonic and possessed of a sharp wit, Yvhul'ku can often come off as rude or arrogant to those around him. In truth, his charisma is severely lacking in comparison to the capacity of his mind. While not shy about sharing any manner of brilliance that may pop into his head, whether it be logic and facts or simple wisdom, he knows well that he has a way to go in the social graces department.
