Kleptos
#320/500
Deep in the upper slopes of Oriziba, there stood a temple of ancient origin. It was filled to the brim with gold and precious gems, and stories of its wealth and beauty had spread far and wide across Zagreus. Legend has it that the temple was built by the first of the Elders of the Pyronic faction, as an offering to Ezrus in exchange for his blessings of power and wisdom.
However, the creatures of Zagreus soon heard of the temple’s riches, and sought to claim it for themselves. One of the first to do so was Kleptos, the many-handed. He and his minions infiltrated the temple and stole as much gold as they could carry.
But Ezrus was not pleased with Kleptos’ actions. He cursed him to be the guardian of the temple, forever doomed to protect the treasure he had tried to steal. And so Kleptos was transformed, his body becoming covered in thick ash like skin, his hands growing razor-sharp claws, multiple arms growing out of him. He was given the ability to regenerate, and his eyes went black with an otherworldly ability to see in the dark..
For centuries, Kleptos guarded the temple with fierce dedication. He killed any who dared to enter, using his weapon mastery and his razor-sharp claws to overcome any obstacle in his path. As time passed, the stories of the temple and the cursed guardian who protected it grew ever more fantastical. Many brave adventurers attempted to claim the treasure for themselves, but all met their end at the hands of Kleptos.
And so the temple remained hidden, a dark and mysterious place that only the bravest of souls would dare to approach. Some say that the gold and gems still lie within its walls, waiting for the day when a hero will arise to defeat Kleptos and claim the treasure for themselves.
