When you look like a devil, people tend to make assumptions. For Khonshu, it just made it that much easier to slip something past them.
A low-level bureaucrat within a tyrannical government, Khonshu played the role of a loyal cog within the machine and nobody suspected otherwise. But secretly, he was a rebel sympathizer, smuggling supplies, arms, and the occasional escaped prisoner out of the city to the scattered network of people seeking to bring down the oppressive regime.
Blessed with a sharp mind, Khonshu covertly engineered an array of magical devices to aid his smuggling operations. This included Mule, an animate crate walking atop a set of mechanical legs, very useful for transporting goods.
The planar catastrophe ended any notion of revolt, however, when it generated magical lighting storms that decimated the rebel camps overnight. The city withstood the storm, as did the cruel leaders within it. Devastated, Khonshu felt the cause was lost and fled the city shortly after. After wandering for many years, he eventually joined Lanternwurm, seeking to rekindle the spark of revolution within himself that was extinguished that night.
Khonshu has reddish-orange skin and two tall, spiraling horns emerging from his forehead. He wears simple clothes and a breastplate he fashioned himself, bearing his maker’s mark. His past experience as a smuggler has proven useful to the clan in his role as a quartermaster, helping to manage supplies, logistics, and route pathing. A staunch planner, Khonshu will strive to foresee every outcome, but is a fierce scrapper when push comes to shove.
