Zhentil Keep
    High Priest of the Dark Shrine
    13th level cleric
    LE, Bane
    Human male

Fzoul is second-in-command of the
Zhentarim, but his influence within the
organization is greater than Lord Manshoon's
due to his command of the clergy
of Bane who are part of the
organization (clerics of Bane who think
the Zhentarim a force unworthy of
Bane's support, the majority, are commanded
by the High Imperceptor of Bane, a 19th level High Priest). Fzoul
seeks to enhance his personal power
through diligent service to the God of Tyranny,
and he sees the best way to do this to be supporting and working with
the man he judges best able to succeed
as a tyrant: Manshoon. Fzoul is careful
to remain necessary to and friends with
Manshoon,  while keeping as much
power as possible in his own hands, so
that Manshoon will never consider him
expendable, or a threat so powerful
that it mus be destroyed.

    Fzoul is wily, glib-tongued, burly, red-haired,
and handsome. He wears bracers of defense AC2 at all times,
and full plate when expecting battle. He bears a mace +4,
a silver flail, and a morning star +1,
and wears a ring of free action and a ring of spell storing (contents unknown).
His most treasured magical item is a rod of cancellation, which he
carries in a sheath inside his left boot.

In his temple, Fzoul has hidden three
blocks of incense of meditation and a
staff of the serpent (adder) for his personal
USE in emergencies; he also has a
hidey-hole somewhere in the wastes of
Thar that a word of recall will take him
to, in extreme peril (Manshoon does not
know of this item).
