Appearance
As the son of the marilith demon, Mulvassyss the Sceptered, and a human father, Vhok appears mostly humanoid, but with light olive colored skin and silver hair. Most believe him to be an aging half-elf due to his pointed ears. Beneath his rich clothes Vohk's chest, arms, and legs are covered with deep green scales that show his tanar'ri heritage.[1]
Personality
Vhok has a regal bearing and carries himself with elegance and dignity despite his demonic heritage. When dealing with others Vhok is cultured and polite, but this charm is all for show. He can be very ruthless when taking actions to increase his power. Vhok views everyone around him as an enemy. His allies are merely adversaries with whom he shares a common goal, and who are to be betrayed when they become liabilities or are no longer needed.[2]
Vhok's on-off consort and chief lieutenant is the Alu-Fiend, Aliisza, to whom he often entrusts his most important missions of espionage.
History
Kaanyr's plots and maneuverings, as well as his luck, lead to his survival in the political infighting of Hellgate Keep's tanar'ri and his eventual rise to the command of the surviving forces of Hellgate Keep. He would much rather have quietly operated in secret for years, however, due to a combination of fate and his own desire for secret plots, Vhok, and much of his army, were deep beneath the Keep when, in 1369 DR, The Gatekeeper's Crystal brought much of it crashing down and thus thrusting him to a position that required quick action.
Recent History
During the War of the Spider Queen, Vhok allied with Duergar mercenary band and the Jaezred Chaulssin against the drow, and he participated in the final and unsuccessful siege of Menzoberranzan, foiled at the eleventh hour due to the timely return of Lolth. Vhok retreated quickly, preserving the greater part of the Scoured Legion, his army of tanarukks, allowing the duergar, who were not yet aware of Lolth's return, to bear the brunt of drow retribution while covering his retreat.
During the events of the Empyrean Odyssey, Kaanyr Vhok, attempted to take control of the city of Sundabar, and was forced to travel to the Elemental Plane of Fire with Zasian Menz, supposedly a cleric of Bane, and a half-dragon named Myshik. From there Vhok and Zasian traveled to Celestia to meet with Aliisza.[3]
