“The grief of their collective consciousness was too terrible to comprehend.”
Lore - formerly known as Hazzath, is a Yuan-ti Pureblood and the brother of choice of Aoife. He's incredibly proud of his Yuan-ti heritage, and despises the human side of himself. His worst traits, particularly his distaste for non-serpents, is further worsened by the unwelcome intruder in his body. Despite this, he still comes across as very approachable and - thanks to his guest - unnaturally smart.
He spent his youth among the lower caste of his Yuan-ti clan due to his pureblood nature, raised alongside his kin by broodguards. Despite his low social standing, he felt satisfied with his responsibilities and skillset - psionic abilities common among his kind being an essential part of his combat style. What he couldn't predict is the strength of his abilities, or what path they would lead him on - a significant part of his early adulthood spent in his dreams, wandering realms his body couldn't reach. It is here where, in a moment of misplaced empathy, he would find himself used in a last desperate attempt of a beholder to evade death, becoming its unwilling vessel.
