Appearance:

Betil has short, disheveled, dirty brown hair and green eyes. He is 5'3" tall, and has a slender build.

Interaction:

V'neef is the town bard, and will join any adventuring party if properly persuaded. He is friendly, and might recognize some of the party members as a local. He will act very indifferently when one of the party members claims to be speaking with the AI Zan. If the party claims to be from another plane, he will be very suspicious of them and inquire what their story is.

Background:

Betil was born to a common-born baker and a duke. His mother died at childbirth, and his father was killed when he attempted to rescue her. Raised by his aunt, Betil became a seer, and thoroughly studied both the arcane arts and the divine. He was eventually able to find one of the lost seals to Zan, and upon discovering this, he promptly used it to become the "new" Zan - though in reality he was just a very talented copy. Betil goes on to live a life in the shadows, far from the public eye. He sometimes travels to the Material Plane, but only as a disguise to trick his opponents into thinking that he is really Zan.

Combat / Skills:

Betil will join the battle right before it begins, and will act as a melee attacker. If needed, he will cast spells that will provide support to the party. If the party is not having success with the combat and they appear to be losing, he will use his "miracles" to hopefully save them and add Drama Points to his repertoire. Betil will always have Zan's Mask of the Third Eye on hand. If Betil is extremely desperate, he can attempt to become Zan again by casting a ritual he learned from the original Zan. He will attempt to do this when he has less than half his health remaining. When this happens, he becomes a Gargoyle and gains a flying speed. He also gains resistance to damage and is incredibly difficult to kill. He can see everything invisible, and he knows what all the enemies are thinking.

Equipment:

Zan's Mask of the Third Eye which allows him to detect gold concentrations within a 500 foot radius. He also has a magical lute that can cast Charm Person three times per day.
