Zephyra the Mindbender

Psionicist
Key Hold

Zephyra the Mindbender was a powerful thri-kreen psion with the ability to manipulate thoughts and dominate the minds of others. She posed a significant threat to Nibenay's control over his subjects, as she could potentially unravel his carefully constructed power structure. Recognizing the danger she presented, Nibenay imprisoned Zephyra, fascinated by her psionic abilities and seeking to study and harness her powers for his own purposes. Nibenay feared the chaos Zephyra could unleash if she were free, and keeping her restrained served to maintain his authority and eliminate a potential rival.
