Ahkthet, Baron of Chaos

Ahkthet is a huge, towering fiend with putrid, blue-hued flesh that looks as though it might be decaying. Although he is not undead, it is easy to mistake the Baron of Chaos as one. Instead of legs, Ahkthet has dozens of long, thick tentacles that leave a trail of slime as he slithers around. He wields Ilvanashera, a powerful sentient weapon with an epic, significant past.

Ahkthet was once a yuan-ti anathema, worshipping Dendar and trying to amass an army of yuan-ti to regain their lost empire. In his attempts to ascend to power, he discovered Ilvanashera, the lost relic of the demon lord the Queen of Chaos. Through this legendary magical trident, Ahkthet become corrupted and turned from Dendar to worshipping the demon lord of the Steaming Fen. This corruption transformed him, and the Queen gifted him with the title the Baron of Chaos along with pact magic.

Tasked with utilizing the trident and his nascent empire of yuan-ti, Ahkthet only reveals his true identity to his most loyal subjects. His citizens view him as an overlord and tyrant of his den of vipers in the Ruins of Anthar within the Cormanthor forest. Slowly his influence grows and most recently he has threatened to overtake Essembra, a nearby city, to begin his further ascension to power and greatness.
