Tethys

Tethys is an NPC in the Heart of Orcus campaign that travels with the main party.

Appearance
Tethys has dark brown skin with gray undertones, black kinky hair, and gray eyes.

He wears a black and gray bodysuit-type outfit with a black cape.

His signature mask depicts a smiling face embellished by swirling designs, with holes for his eyes and nose.

In the most recent session, the party learned that Tethys has a form of facial paralysis he was born with, rendering him unable to emote, which is why he wears the mask.

Background
Not much is known about Tethys' background. He has stated that his goal is to make a deal with the Demogorgon for aid in defeating Orcus, but his reasons why are unknown. He serves the Raven Queen, and is supposedly doing her bidding.

Personality
Tethys is very persuasive, and some might say manipulative. He is outwardly very friendly, often complimenting his companions and their actions. This behavior seems to be aimed at keeping them on Tethys' good side and willing to help him on his quest.

He is reassuring to his companions when they seem doubtful, and says nothing that could be unkind to them.

Tethys seems insecure about his facial paralysis, hiding it from the group until it was revealed during the doppelganger debate.
