Saithith the Vampire, Lord of Gluttony, is a corpulent man standing just over six feet tall and weighing nearly three hundred pounds. His skin is pale as old parchment, and he wears a small, carefully waxed black beard and mustache. Long black hair, thinning and receding with age, hangs about his shoulders. He dresses in the fashions of a wealthy nobleman, though the styles he favors have been outdated for centuries. Despite his immense girth, Saithith possesses the unnatural speed and grace common to the vampire race. He can move with startling quickness, crossing a room in the blink of an eye or striking before an opponent realizes he has moved at all.
Before his transformation, Saithith was a pirate lord who terrorized the shipping lanes of the Lonely Sea during the reign of King Dakor V of Daven. From the city of Inharbor in the Selfhaven Archipelago, he preyed upon merchants, fishermen, and travelers alike. Yet greed alone did not define him. Saithith's true vice was excess. He possessed an appetite that could never be satisfied, whether for wealth, food, drink, comfort, or pleasure.
Whenever one of his ships captured a prize, the celebrations that followed became the stuff of dark legend. Feasts lasted for days. Wine flowed through the halls in rivers. Treasure was piled high simply so he could wallow among it. Nothing was ever enough. Saithith consumed everything before him with the desperate hunger of a man trying to fill a void that could never be filled. Even his own crew often found his indulgences repulsive, and hardened pirates who feared neither storm nor battle sometimes left his banquets sickened by the spectacle.
It was this boundless appetite that drew the attention of the Dweller. When the vampire Kibor was sent to seek a candidate worthy of becoming the Lord of Gluttony, Saithith's name quickly rose above all others. Few mortals had ever surrendered themselves so completely to the pursuit of excess.
As one of the Seven Lords of Sin, Saithith cultivated an outward appearance of civility. He speaks softly, almost in a whisper, and is often courteous even to his enemies. Yet beneath his calm demeanor lurks a ravenous predator. In dim light his eyes glow a deep crimson, and among vampires he is particularly vulnerable to the lure of blood. While most vampires feed as necessity or caution dictates, Saithith gorges himself whenever the opportunity presents itself. His hunger is never truly satisfied. Blood, like everything else in his existence, is merely another appetite to be indulged beyond reason.
Unlike several of the other Lords, Saithith showed little interest in governing. His rule over Daven was largely one of neglect. Day-to-day administration was left to orc war bosses, undead servants, and lesser officials who acted in his name. The Lord of Gluttony rarely concerned himself with matters of law, commerce, or statecraft. Instead, he remained secluded within the decaying royal fortress of Elder Daven, pursuing his endless cycle of indulgence and excess.
Yet it would be a mistake to regard Saithith as harmless or foolish. Beneath his laziness lay a deep instinct for self-preservation. Though he neglected his kingdom, he watched the ambitions of the other Lords closely and tolerated no threat to his authority. Over the centuries he quietly assembled a formidable army of undead creatures, hidden throughout Daven and known only to a handful of trusted servants. This force existed for one purpose: to ensure that should another Lord of Sin seek to seize his lands or diminish his power, they would discover that the Lord of Gluttony had been preparing for that possibility all along.
For Saithith embodies the truest nature of gluttony. He does not merely desire more. He desires everything. Every pleasure must be tasted. Every indulgence must be pursued. Every possession must be claimed. No feast is large enough, no treasure vast enough, and no quantity of blood sufficient to satisfy him. Like a bottomless pit, he consumes endlessly, yet remains forever hungry.
Special power: Saithith can only be killed by a special stake called Oakheart. Unfortunately, he can also be restored with this stake. Saithith was finally slain by Valanduil the Elhan and Bartarius the Barbarian in 8162 F.R.
