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. He sought shelter in a ruined temple where he experienced religious visions and dreams. From them 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 he was 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 from Yargol and became a part of the Crew.
He was thought of as a heretic as he was a gnoll who followed a goddess of the hearth, and who he presented as a true war god.[1] Demons appeared to think of him as a traitor.[2]
Abilities[]
War Cloud was very large and strong, and a capable fighter. He could do healing and other miracles by channeling Dastia’s powers. Dastia also gave him the ability to sense nearby hearths as well as sense demons and undead.[3][2] Through religious visions, training, and education he gained a good theoretical and practical understanding of theology and ethics.
