    Lanier's right-hand, owner of club Pandemonium, resident drug dealer

    Khoshekh is seldom seen in the public eye outside Pandemonium, but much like Lanier his name is well-known and in some circles its use generates unease. No one wants Lanier or Khoshekh coming at them.

  • Strengths

    Immortality
    Khoshekh has true immortality. While his body can be destroyed it will regenerate over time and he will return. He also does not age.

    Method
    There are three ways Khoshekh can regenerate after death:
    Possession
    Commandeering the body of someone of poor mental strength or constitution. He will overtake their mind, and then their body. His curse will promptly take effect and he will assume his usual bestial form.

    Reanimation
    Much like the above, but with a fresh corpse.

    The Long Con
    In the absence of suitable bodies or people to possess Khoshekh will reform his own body, but this takes time. Approximately 1 month + the number of days to the next full moon.


    Immunity
    Immune to mundane diseases.

    Hard Hitter
    Khoshekh hits hard, very hard. He can tear flesh and ligaments with ease and crush bone.

  • Weaknesses

    Squishy
    While immortal, Khoshekh is not invulnerable. He can be stabbed, burned, and decapitated like any other. He will scar, albeit the next time he regenerates they will disappear. When mortally wounded he will be incinerated from the inside out by a blue-white flame.

    Bewitchment
    Magic-borne ailments and diseases can affect him.

    Slow and Steady
    He hits hard, but is comparatively slow. He is still fast on all fours, but takes wide turns.
  • Khoshekh is neutral evil - when there is something he wants, or a goal he wants to achieve, he will do what is necessary to do so. His morals are pretty dark grey and he has no issues murdering someone if they stand in his way. Or if he's particularly bored.

    In the past he was notoriously brutal and violent, he held no ties, but in his present 'old age' he is rediscovering the importance of having some kind of emotional grounding. He cares for the few people he would consider family, and in the modern era he is considerably less impulsive over who he kills and when, but generally speaking he is just as monstrous as he always has been.
