Special Abilities:
Necromacy, Able to raise the dead and enslave them to his will for a brief period of time before the magic fades. They are very strong however as they are powered by magic rather than muscle but this means the magic only lasts a few days at most.
Mind Magic, Able to invade the minds of others to either destroy or enslave their minds or render them hopelessly insane.
Resistance to Black Magic, Through eons of working with Black Magic Unyat is nearly immune to it and the madness that accompanies the lost magic.
Personality: Old, and distrusting of others. However, he will pursue magical knowledge with tenacity especially if it pertains to his ancient gods.
History: Unyat had lived in the deepest tunnels and lost parts of the world for many eons, civilizations and great heroes lived and died above and around him but they mattered little to Unyat. He ignored them as minor trifles that needlessly distracted him from his ultimate goal, bringing the old gods back to the world. To survive Unyat preyed on the foolish who ventured too deep. Over the passing years, Unyat found in a deep tunnel a small colony of Nglui feasting on someone who had tried to navigate through the deep tunnels. The Nglui are extremely aggressive and are capable of stripping a body to the bones in a matter of a few minutes. Unyat enslaved the small creatures to his will with a dark ritual.
Dark ritual and black magics are nothing strange to Unyat. He obsesses about magical theory and strives to learn ever more. In the tunnels he strove to learn the oldest of rituals, striving for the lost connection to his elder gods. While never bringing his gods into this realm the portals did occasionally allow something through, though it was never helpful and often made the deeps more dangerous if that where possible.
