Mendacious Aileron Crust (Mac)

Kowakian Monkey-Lizard, Age Unknown, He/him Who is he? Mac is an intelligent Kowakian Monkey-Lizard who works as an antiquities trader for UniCo, specialising in artefacts relating to the old temples. His office is filled with crisscrossing bars and ropes, allowing him to swing around between the shelves and filing cabinets that house his collection. Characters who manage to peak into his back office will notice strange chemical apparatuses and canisters containing condensed Fog. What’s he like? Mac wears simple robes the colour of mushroom trunks and the Fog at twilight. The fur of his neck-ruffle is neatly trimmed and oiled. His nails/claws on his hands and feet are painted grey. His skin is a deep, wrinkled yellow-grey and his eyes are grey-black. He looks ancient but moves with strength and agility. Mac has a distracted, frenetic, busy air about him, but he will become laser-focussed if the characters bring him something relating to either the temples or any special types of Fog. He is highly intelligent, with a polite but firm demeanour. He’s constantly puffing on an electronic Fog vape. What’s his secret? Mac claims to have come to Vohd with a group of smugglers who then abandoned him here. This is a partial truth. Mac was the pet of a group of smugglers who used him to explore the dangerous parts of ancient temples, looking for treasure. Life was simpler then, he was simpler, his mind focussed more on sensations than thoughts. The group abandoned him after he became trapped by a cave-in. He doesn’t remember exactly what happened then, except that he found a chamber filled with glowing mushrooms and a strange type of fog. He came to his senses months later in a nearby village, his mind and awareness expanded. He worked his way into UniCo and now seeks to find out what happened to him and what was that strange Fog beneath the temple. Answer: he fell into a mediation chamber and was altered by the special Fog there.
