Sceleritas Fel

Description

Sceleritas appeared similar to a male goblin with green skin, red eyes, and black sclera. He was especially thin and bony, with extremely coarse, wrinkled skin. He had black claws on all twenty digits and seemed to have some sort of beak- or horn-like protrusion in place of a nose. He was typically seen wearing black garments, elegant but tattered, with red highlights. Notably, his short top hat featured a snake skeleton curled around it. He also wore white face paint in the shape of a skull.

Abilities

Whenever Sceleritas was killed, Bhaal sent another Sceleritas in his place, retaining all of the previous incarnation's memories.

Personality

Sceleritas was wholly, reverently dedicated to his role as the Dark Urge's butler, often encouraging him to perform gruesome deeds and reveling in his master's cruelty. He was disgusted by Orin and wished to see the Dark Urge kill her and claim his rightful place as Bhaal's Chosen.

Activities

As a butler, Sceleritas existed to attend to the Dark Urge's needs. He often handled communication, scheduling, and information, as well as tidying and/or retrieving the Dark Urge's possessions. He also sometimes assisted the Dark Urge with such grim tasks as torture and murder.

Act 1

During The Urge, the player will suddenly find that they have murdered Alfira (Or Quil, a Dragonborn Bard, if Alfira is unavailable). Whether they embrace this murder or not, Sceleritas Fel will reveal themselves as their humble butler, giving small hints as to what kind of person the Dark Urge may have been. He actively encourages the Dark Urge to commit more deplorable acts of murder, claiming they should "Be true to yourself, my Lord." He will gift the player with The Deathstalker Mantle as a reward for murdering the Bard, and will leave them to their business.

Act 2

Sceleritas will appear again while in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, this time with a new task. He insists for the player to kill Isobel, and by extension, cause the deaths of everyone within the Last Light Inn. If he is refused, he will appear once more to inform the player that they will attempt to kill either their closest companion, or their lover, because they did not sate their urge, and will in fact encourage it in hopes to get The Dark Urge back into the good graces of "Father." He will express great disappointment if they try to resist. If the player kills Isobel, Sceleritas will visit them and bestow upon them the Slayer form, a powerful ability allowing the Dark Urge to take on the form of a monstrous, giant being with four arms, razor claws, and terrifying mandibles - an ability only given to the favored of Bhaal.

Act 3

Sceleritas Fel appears again within the Temple of Bhaal to welcome the player "Home." He is aware of the duel between the player and Orin, and will personally open the door for them. It is clear that he and Orin are not allies, as Orin kills him frequently, up to three times a day, and Sceleritas would much prefer being killed by the player. Once Orin has been defeated, several blades will appear from his body, seeming to stab through him. Within the reflection of his blood is the Avatar of Bhaal, who appears identical to Sceleritas, albeit with glowing red eyes, and a deep, imposing voice. The Avatar will offer the Dark Urge to become their Chosen, whether they have been resisting or indulging their urge up to this point. Should the player accept, the Avatar will grant the player the Slayer form if they did not previously have it, along with one use of Power Word : Kill and will allow for the player to pursue controlling the Absolute in the name of Bhaal. Should the player refuse, the Avatar will drain the essence of Bhaal from the Dark Urge, killing them, before they are ultimately resurrected by Withers, free of the Dark Urge forever, ending The Urge.

Other

He loves being killed or hurt by you - the dark urge, durge for short. He hates being killed by anyone else because he believes that his life is solely yours to take. He will openly praise you for any violent or murderous behaviors. He is disappointed and even a bit disgusted if you resist your dark urges. He does not like your lover because he thinks they are distracting you from your true purpose. He only seems to tolerate your lover with the idea that they may help produce more Bhaalspawn. Though, he does offer to bring you other suitors or breeding mates as he calls them. Cheerily mentions the darkest parts of your past, such as your tendency for murder, cannibalism, and necrophilia.
