Though hatched into slavery and having matured under the brutality of Naga rule, Phosis is one of the most fanatically loyal servants of the Magus Ssalsyin. He first caught his master’s eye decades ago, when he not only uncovered a plot against the serpent, but took it upon himself to put down the conspirators himself before bringing evidence to the Naga. This act earned him the name he now carries, and set the standard of the brutal pragmatism that would become his hallmark.
Should a threat to his master arise, or a task need be performed to further their goals, he would do so himself if it is within his power. Others should only be trusted at arm’s reach, and never given total autonomy lest their weakness fail their overlord. While many rewards could easily have been given for his service, he has asked for none; instead accepting what his Naga master gives of their own accord. Most recent of these gifts is an ornately wrought suit of armour, and five Janissaries – professional slave-soldiers elevated from the most cruel and dedicated – to act as his protectors.
On the left stands Circe, the witch-blood, and Ceto the armoured hulk. To his right stands Arae – the Janissaries commander – Satir the marksman, and Loke the duellist. Each of these warriors has their own bloody history left in their wake, for none achieve Janissary without proving themselves lethally sadistic and willing to serve the Naga to their own ends.
