Waj Ekar

Noble
NPC
Key Hold in Nibenay

Waj Ekar, the third son of the noble House of Ekar, was a charismatic and sadistic serial killer who reveled in the suffering of his victims. Nibenay wanted him imprisoned to both end his reign of terror and to exploit his dark talents for his own gain. Nibenay recognized Waj's deadly skills and manipulative nature, and sought to control him within his prison walls. By holding Waj captive, Nibenay had a ruthless assassin at his disposal, ready to eliminate political rivals, eliminate threats, or carry out any sinister task that served his interests. Waj's charm and psychopathic tendencies made him both a dangerous prisoner and a valuable asset to Nibenay's Machiavellian schemes in the harsh world of Athas.
