Background:
Huum, like other Illithids, was implanted into the brain of his host body when he was a larva. After devouring his host's brain, he took over the man's body, inheriting his emotions, thoughts, and memories, learning a lifetime of information in just a few short days. The man he had taken over was a warrior of great skill and renown who was courting a beautiful, wandering priestess named Nyarai. Huum, driven by the intense passion and emotion he believed was his own, found the woman in the town of Kerotia, on the East coast of Noeven. Needless to say, she was horrified of what had become of her lover. For weeks, Huum followed her, becoming increasingly blinded and driven by passion. Eventually, he confronted her on the beach and, after becoming quite desperate for her love, Huum used his psionic abilities to try and infiltrate her mind and make her love him. It failed and instead, drove Nyarai to insanity. Instead of embracing Huum, as he had hoped she would, she began to wildly attack him. Gravely injured and wildly infuriated, he pinned the woman to the ground and devoured her brain. The following day, he took the locket from her corpse which contained a small painting on Huum's host with Nyarai, and the chain whip she kept.
Devastated, Huum traveled Kerang in order to visit the Temple of Sacrifice, seeking answers to his many questions. Unfortunately, he was only met with despair when he was informed that the thing most dear to him would be taken. Driven by rage, he wandered the deserts of Noeven, torturing himself with the heat and sunlight his people hate. Eventually, he returned to the spot where he killed Nyarai, burying her locket in a small lockbox deep under the sand. Satisfied that what he cherished most was safe, he traveled the lands, learning as much as he could, picking off travelling scholars to devour their brains.
Around his 40th year, he decided he had a satisfactory control over his abilities and enlisted as a Mercenary, fighting in many wars on many sides and gaining a reputation as a ruthless fighter. On a few occasions, he was hired for interrogations, using atrocious yet effective methods to ultimately get the information his employer needed. He is still mastering his psionic abilities, often he becomes fatigued after use.
Theme Song:
Omerta - Lamb Of God
"Cheaply venal, stupidly verbose.
A slip of the tongue, a slit of the throat.
Six feet under with no marker.
Keep my name from your mouth forever."
