Burrhus Malavazos
Burrhus Malavazos is an Old Faith Mage and leader of the Cult of Lamashtu during the Dark Ages.
Background
Malavazos is a Greek-born spice merchant who was captain of a fat-bellied trade vessel. The ability to work magic came to him late in life, and at first his worship turned to the gods of his ancestry: Aphrodite, Hermes, Hephaestus. A fever waylaid him deep into his 40th year of life, and as he bled from his eyes and mouth while teetering on the edge of life and death, Lamashtu came, offering him a doorway back to life, if only he would spread word of her existence. Burrhus reluctantly continues to build the cult. He is faithful to Lamashtu but wonders somewhere in the back of his mind if he did not make a grievous error once upon a time in choosing to serve her.

A swarthy, large man with hair at his temples turning gray, Burrhus is a curmudgeonly, daunting figure. Rarely smiling, his eyes sit beneath folds of pinched, leathery skin as he scrutinizes everything. He dresses mostly in drab clothing.
