Szeffrin is a high-ranking general in Ivid V's army who was primarily known for his sacking of Almor during the Greyhawk Wars and his frequent dealings with fiends. He was turned into an animus by Ivid.

Description

Appearance

The duke is absolutely enormous at exactly 7 feet tall, which have led some to speculate that he might have some ogre blood. He has ashen skin, brown eyes, and thick black hair which he keeps neatly cropped. He also fastidiously remains clean shaven. On his forearms, he had two dragon tattoos that he got after slaying two dragons with his magic dragon slaying sword.

Personality

Duke Szeffrin was known for his uncontrollable rages, which led many of his human troops especially to be afraid of him. He has managed to curb his rage though daily meditation exercises, but that leaves him "effectively permanently depressed[1]" and he suffers much of the self-loathing that most animuses face and is looking forward to dying at some point, and taking Ivid with him. [1]. He is a gifted commander and strategist, though he cares little for the lives of his men, so long as they're effective. As most of his troops have become undead, this is less of a problem [2].
