Knygathin Zhaum

A cannibalistic outlaw of Hyperborea. Knygathin's mother Sfatlicllp was descended from Tsathoggua, and Knygathin's father was a voormi. [CAS Pnom] It was whispered that Knygathin was also descended partly from the dark, variable spawn that had come down to Earth with Tsathoggua. [CAS Testament (online text)]

Knygathin lived in the Eiglophian Mountains, among the voormis, from whom he recruited most of his band. Because of his mixed descent, he looked much different from his shaggy fellow tribesmen, being hairless from crown to heel and pied with great spots of black and yellow; and moreover was reputed to exceed all others in his cruelty and cunning. With his band, he committed numerous atrocities in the foothills near the Eiglophians and eventually attacked a suburb near Commoriom. He was captured by government forces and executed three times by Atthamaus, the chief headsman of Commoriom. However, Kyngathin returned to life each time, with progressively more distorted and inhuman features. The last time, he assumed a form so horrific and vast that the entire population of Commoriom fled the city permanently. [CAS Testament (online text)]

After the public evacuation of Commoriom, the city came to be occupied by Knygathin Zhaum's fissional spawn. [CAS Pnom] Apparently it was one of these spawn who ate Tirouv Ompallios and the right hand of Satampra Zeiros. [CAS Tale (online text)]
