A gnoll paladin in the service of Dastia. He first appeared in Run Like Hell.
Biography[]
War Cloud was cast out from his tribe of gnolls for asking too many questions. While experiencing religious visions and dreams in a ruined temple he learned of Dastia and how to fight. He sought out a cleric of Dastia in a human village and received more instruction there, until driven out by the villagers.[1]
He then likely made his way to the dungeons and started work under Olen Zuck, where he learned to know Scars, Yargol, and DigDig. Since he was literate, Yargol made sure he mainly worked in the library. He survived the raid on the dungeon thanks to the assistance of Yargol and became a part of the Crew.
He is thought of a heretic as he is a gnoll who follows a goddess of the hearth, and who he presents as a true war god.[1] Demons appear to think of him as a traitor.[2]
Abilities[]
War Cloud is very large and strong, and a capable fighter. He can do healing and other miracles by channeling Dastia’s powers. Dastia also gives him the ability to sense nearby hearths as well as sense demons and undead.[3][2] Through religious visions, training, and education he has a good theoretical and practical understanding of theology and ethics.
