Netherlord Varsith

Physical Appearance
Netherlord Varsith is a white Dragonborn, with a body is so old that it looks like a corpse. He appears as gaunt and frail. He has no hair and wears black robes. His eyes burn black, a symbol of the dark pact he has made with one of the Archdevils. When he moves, it is as if there are tentacles inside him, operating his body like a puppet.

Background
The Netherlord is the head of The Warlocks, and is responsible for The Dark Pact peace treaty with The Dragon Guard. He thinks little of those who are not Warlocks, but understands the need to work with them for the good of Varian. Groups he has low opinions of include the Heroes themselves and The Shadow Monks.

When he speaks, his voice is weak and unsettling, and is accompanied by the sounds of slithering. It gets louder and deeper depending on his mood.

Very few people have ever seen the Netherlord, he only sees people when they are summoned. Lord Thakrak deals with all other information and feeds important pieces back to him personally. The Netherlord’s main responsibility is identifying opportunities for the Warlocks to intervene and help people. He also communes with The Traveler, though not as frequently as Anmon does.

Role in the Story
The Netherlord sends Anmon out to Preston to investigate the appearance of Ysh’thun. He sees this as Anmon’s final task in becoming a true Warlock.

Quotes

 * ”Anmon… You stand before your Netherlord, and you do not kneel?”
 * ”This is your final test. Prove to us, prove to me, that you know there is no cost too high, no heart too pure, no sacrifice too great, to stop the Devourer and its Children.”

Trivia

 * The Netherlord’s voice was described as ‘like a bad anime sub’ by Cody.
