Gelyl

A somewhat rotund drow of advanced years, Gelyl is the accountant and patron of The Scorpion. He rarely uses his feet any more, preferring to be carried around by several of large harem of young male slaves who also function as his bodyguard. Because of this, and his regular bouts of gluttony and over-indulgence, his weight has grown immensely, to the point where his ability to walk any substantial distance is uncertain.

Despite this his mind is still sharp and quick. He is certainly capable of managing the accounts of The Scorpion, and has also constructed a minor criminal organisation which he is currently trying to expand. His wealth originally came from inheritance but, unwilling to simple fritter it away, he took the opportunity to invest and reinvest. Eventually he met Vierlin and realised the perfect opportunity not only to fund a promising business, and have a healthy amount of input, but also to provide for his less open tastes by having a legitimate reason to have muscular young men carrying him around.

The only magical item he possesses is a Rug of Smothering. This sits in front of his office desk in The Scorpion and, on a command, will wrap around anyone standing upon it. The rug wraps quickly and tightly enough that, once caught, escape is nearly impossible (although a particularly strong character could try to hold off the rug). After someone has been suffocated by the rug it will unwrap and lay itself neatly upon the floor once again. The rug was especially enchanted for him by an old lover from his youth.

The clearest weakness which Gelyl suffers from is obviously his weight and health. Years of indulgence in all and sundry have their price, and he is paying. This is partially offset by the fact that he surrounds himself at all times with loyal bodyguards drawn from his harem. While slaves, his harem is treated exceptionally well and are trained to be both fanatically loyal (to near the point of worship) and terrified of Gelyl's influence. It should be made clear that his harem are such in name only, he has never been able to perform any sexual function due to being a eunuch.

As do I.

Approved!
