Description
Thurstwell is a pale and sullen recluse in his forties. A veritable shut-in, he uses imps to spy on his brothers, Amrik and Mortlock. Thurstwell resents both of them — Amrik for being their mother’s favorite, and Mortlock for being a monstrous dolt.

Posted Jan 29, 2022This revised version is designed for my player characters who started the campaign at 6th level. So I upscaled him to provide more of a challenge and a twist. Considering this recluse would have dabbled a lot more into devilish arts. If he could control imps early in game, it felt a little lack luster to find out he can't do much else. I am also taking it from the point where since he didn't have any normal friends, a man in his 40s would have gotten creative to access social activities within his reach.
