The Second of the Lords of Sin
Habitat: Kelerak, Dragonspur CIty, Lair; Treasure: Implements
Brathelathor (known sometimes as the Lord of Lust and sometimes as Lady Lust) is a succubus from a particularly nasty layer of Malor, where s/he ruled a small area from a foul, black tower. Brathelathor alternately appears as a male or female as their mood strikes. In their male form, they are 6'3", blond, and muscular, albeit with bat wings, horns, and fangs. In female form, they are 5'7, blonde, and very shapely and seductive, again with bat wings, horns, and fangs. Although all succubi can change form, Brathelathor has been granted by Vornoth the power to change just part of their form (they can elongate an arm for example).
Brathelathor was a minor demon lord in the Abyss, but their lust and sadism were legend even among succubi. They made a raid to Farland to capture a noble lady and her husband, and the things they did with the couple were so horrible they attracted the attention of The Dweller. Thus Brathelathor became the Lord of Lust. They are arrogant, condescending, but despite some combat ability are ultimately a coward who will flee to the ethereal plane if losing a fight. They have great trouble, however, resisting their demonic lust. After ruling Kelerak for nigh on 400 years, Brathelathor was banished back to the Abyss. They managed, though, to return to Farland 9 years later and machinated to reconquer the kingdom they felt was their due. They began calling in favors from Demons in the abyss, and promised many things in return that left them deeply indebted to horrible hellish powers. They also worked to sway the Lord of Wrath to compel Sloth to send an army to retake the land. When that failed, they began a plan to infiltrate the peerage of the city and slay King Naglor and assume his form. This plan was foiled by the efforts of Valanduil and the Lords of the West, who ruthlessly pursued Brathelathor to their demonic lair and slew them once and for all in their abyssal castle. Thus the Lord of Lust passed from the histories of Farland, although the stains of their evil will undoubtedly remain for years to come.
