Tefnahkt the Red is a very powerful warlock who dwells in a fortress hidden in The Blasted Wastes. He commands many men and owns many slaves, as well as so much dark magic that he sometimes hunts the mutated abominations of the Wastes for sport.

Biography

Once a great lord in the land of Kemhet, Tefnahkt became a member of the clandestine Zharduvari cult and broke away from his kingdom, taking his wealth, power, and influence far into foreign lands. Those who follow him worship him as a god, as he makes public display among them of his evil magic. He has gathered a considerable amount of worshipers, both soldiers and slaves, and constructed a fortress for himself in the edge of the Blasted Wastes.

Personality

Bold, proud, and powerful, Tefnahkt knows he is exceptional and exploits this to its fullest extent. He is both wise and clever, well-learned and intelligent enough to manipulate a demon into striking a bargain with him for power without entirely losing himself to it. Despite being Kemheti-born, he is fascinated by the culture and history Parsanshar, as well as the dark god Ahriman. Tefnahkt is willing and even eager to use those around him in order to gain more power, and he does not balk at death or torture or using others as an example to further extend his will.

Appearances

Tefnahkt the Red is a major antagonist in The Tomb of Ankhu.
