A male Derro, Buppido is surprisingly gregarious and
talkative, demonstrating a keen mind and a disarming
manner. This pleasant facade conceals the soul of an
insane killer. Buppido secretly believes he is the living
incarnation of the Derro god Diinkarazan—an avatar
of murder offering bloody sacrifices to create a path
of carnage through the Underdark for his people to
follow to glory. He rationalizes any setbacks (including
his capture and imprisonment) as part of his “divine
plan.” His killings are carefully ritualized, following
an exacting process of cutting open the victims and
arranging their organs.
Although mad, Buppido is cunning and capable of
hiding his true nature to serve his own ends. Because
he believes he is a god, he is convinced that he can’t
be killed (or at least that the death of his mortal form
means nothing to him), so he is completely fearless.
He assumes everything is part of his divine plan, and
enthusiastically participates in any plot to escape from
the Drow so he can continue his holy work. Buppido is
happy to consider his fellow prisoners allies until such
time as he no longer needs them, or becomes convinced that the omens point toward the need for one or more of
them to be sacrificed to his greater glory.
