Amaru

Amaru is a human cursed with immortality who was imprisoned and abandoned in a temple of Ilmater for hundreds to thousands of years. He is found chained up in a hidden area of the temple by the party.

Appearance
Amaru, despite being alive, resembles a fresh corpse. He has no fat or muscle, his stomach has swollen and his skin is so dry, cracked and wrinkled that it resembles leather more than skin. This is all due to his time imprisoned without food or water. He still has clothes but they are worn to the point that the exact color is unidentifiable. His curse leaves him in a constant state of death and resurrection causing him have constant death throws and rattles. These movements and sounds are the only things that signal he is in someway alive.

Behavior
Amaru doesn't have the strength to talk in his current state. However in the pages of Seth's notes and letters found around the temple it is implied that in the beginning he was open to helping others using his gift and working with Seth, however when Seth's thoughts turn more towards making a profit off the sick people he tries to split from him. Only to be overpowered, imprisoned and abandoned hidden away in the temple. He yearns to end his suffering and finally die and welcomes Gabriele with open arms.

History
Little is known about Amaru, including how he got his immortality. All that is known is that he and Seth once worked together to help the people of Waterdeep overcome a plague that was sweeping the town. Initially this worked until Seth started wanting to make a profit from their cure. Amaru decided to part ways only to be overpowered and kept prisoner in a hidden room of the temple. Eventually Seth died meaning he was abandoned without food or water for thousands of years. Eventually he was discovered by The Cross Snappers who once again started bottling and using his blood to make themselves stronger.
