Appearance
Than'at is a lean, copper-scaled yuan-ti pureblood with a narrow, expressive face and slit-pupiled amber eyes. Fine dark scales pattern the sides of the neck and hands, while a pair of small backward-sweeping horns emerge from the brow. Than'at wears a weathered wine-red coat over black leather armor, with silver thread sewn into the cuffs in looping serpent patterns. A hooked dagger rests at each hip, and a pale green familiar often coils around the shoulders like a living stole.
Mannerisms
Than'at pauses before answering difficult questions, letting their forked tongue briefly taste the air. They maintain unnervingly steady eye contact, then glance away only when they have decided what the other person wants to hear.
Personality
Than'at is observant, dryly humorous, and unfailingly polite in situations where politeness feels slightly threatening. They collect secrets without immediately using them, preferring to understand the shape of a person's fear before deciding whether to exploit it. Despite their manipulative instincts, they have a quiet tenderness toward outcasts, runaways, and anyone trying to escape an inherited role.
Ideals
Freedom. No priest, patron, bloodline, or prophecy gets to decide what Than'at becomes. A life chosen freely is worth more than any promise of safety.
Bonds
Than'at keeps a cracked ivory serpent idol taken from the enclave's shrine. It belongs to their younger sister, who vanished during a failed escape and may still be alive.
Flaws
Than'at assumes every kindness is a bargain and often tests people until they prove themselves, sometimes driving away the few allies they truly need.
Quirks
Background
Than'at was raised in a hidden yuan-ti enclave beneath a ruined roadside shrine, where names were treated as tools and trust was considered a temporary weakness. Their mother taught them to read ledgers, locks, and faces, while the enclave's priesthood taught them the old serpent rites. Than'at became useful to the enclave by slipping through human settlements, stealing relics, and returning with secrets. They learned early that a smile could open more doors than a blade, and that the safest lie was usually built around a small truth.
