Ok, so I am having the PCs meet up with Malik el Sami yn Nasser, the seraph of Lies. This is happening in the Anauroch desert and they will likely help him as he is being beset by Banites. What I would like to know is, what would be the best descriptive text for him? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

I seem to recall that he resembles a Tiefling, but he tries to conceal his Tiefling features (From memory he has horns which he conceals with a Turban and cloved feet)

Check RoTA book 1, for it mentioned some things about Malik's appearance and a bit of his personality.

We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

I agree, RoTA seems to have the best discriptions of this "character" that I have seen. not only physical, but mentally and personality wise as well.

I recall a description of him also in an older Dragon where Ruha, Malik and Avner, the Seraph of Death, were described. I'd have to look up the number.

In general, though, you could describe him as a pudgy, somewhat shifty fellow. He is an opportunist. His eyes are ... something...would have to look it up.

Dragon #245. :)

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Or you can find the issue #'s, if the NPC's were given stats, in my NPC file. :)
