LUNG – THE MAJESTIC ELDER
Vicious, deformed and powerful. One of the ‘Majestic Five’
of the serpent cult who have become trapped in a half-transformed reptilian state, thanks to incorrect Black Magick practices – in his case, leaving him inhumanly powerful. Like the other Majesticks, he has been indoctrinated 'over the Abyss' by his Order to become like gods among men. And thus he sees himself beyond limited human concepts of good and evil, rendering him capable of committing unspeakable cruelties.
