Zhossm, the Atropal of Gehenna

( Homebrew extraplanar villain for Dungeons & Dragons )

Zhossm was born from an unholy ritual performed by a sect of ultroloths, in a cave carved into a steep flank on the layer of Krangath, in Gehenna.
This ritual was originally intended to invoke the forgotten god of their cult, but a mysterious and catastrophic event caused the invocation to degenerate. Zhossm, "the Bicephal Atropal", was the accidental result of this rite. The mighty undead immediately imposed himself as the leader of the sect, replacing its initial deity, and enslaved its members. He rapidly began to rise a small underground kingdom, forcing the group of ultroloths and their minions to dig a maze of tunnels deep into the mountain, and to bring him any corpses and undeads they could find. Since Krangath is a mostly desolate layer, the other yugoloths on the plane don't seem to have discovered his lair yet, and the atropal continues to fill his ranks of creatures and slaves in order to retaliate in case of attack.

Zhossm is aware of his poor knowledge of the outside world, and his curiosity is matched only by his paranoid prudence. However, he does sometimes ask to bring back to him unexpected visitors, usually lonely and weakened adventurers lost in Gehenna. Welcoming them into the dephts of his underground complex, surrounded by his court of servile skeletons, ghouls and wraiths, he starts questioning them about everything they could teach him. The interrogation may last for weeks before the Bicephal decides to kill his guest, once his curiosity is satisfied or when his interlocutor runs out of anecdotes and strenght. The unfortunate victim then usually joins the ranks of his "collection" of zombies, who serve the atropal in his daily chores.
