Pyre
Quick Reference
Biography
Pyre is a pureblood Progenitor, the son of Solarin (Lord of the Eternal Flame) and Ember. He holds a deep grudge against Elric due to his father Varrakis’s actions—specifically, Varrakis ripped Ember’s soul from her body and imprisoned it within the Sword of Embers, preventing any possibility of resurrection.
Pyre engaged Elric in a Battle of Wills in the streets of Waterdeep, testing the young Progenitor’s mental strength. As a pureblood, Pyre is exceptionally dangerous and will attack Elric outside the protection of the city.
Appearance & Personality
Pyre bears a demonic eye—one eye appears normal while the other has a serpentine, demon-like slit. His gaze carries immense psychic pressure, capable of crushing weaker minds. He carries the burning hatred of his bloodline, seeking vengeance for his mother’s fate.
