The Tactician of Sloth is thought to have been a normal man at one point but somewhere along the line he obtained the power of sloth and has since become something that can no longer be called human. It is also said he has not moved in over 10 years to the point where many think it is simply no longer possible. He will often be sleeping when not making strategic decisions and if he feels he is in danger he will summon his faithful hound to protect him and alert him if enemies approach. His personal soldiers are only undead or constructs as he has found they are the only creatures who will not fall asleep from his presence. Any task that requires movement will be done by either summoned servants like his familiar or mage hand or one of his many other servants to limit the amount of work he has to do as much as possible. He prefers not to fight but rather plan for his soldiers and only fights when he feels he can win or the alterative is to physically run. He moves by taking over forts and making it his new base and then after planning out the next attack he amasses his army to carry him to the next invasion. |
