Slate

''"It's like a clean slate, except dirty. Get it? Heh heh." -Slate upon meeting Senbu''

Slate is an NPC operating out of Prima Castra in Venefice. His origins are unknown, but he was living in The Lock of his own free will when he met The Party. Slate has called himself a chimera, although he is not technically that creature. He is capable of using split polymorph, a potent variant of polymorph that allows him to change discrete parts of his body into disparate creatures.

Personality
Slate is an aloof man that doesn't seem to answer to anyone. His motivations are unclear, but he is involved with Aramis Ashvale in some small manner. He chose to live in The Lock as part of an agreement with Aramis, and did not have his magical abilities suppressed in The Lock. Slate seemed to be amused by life in The Lock, seeing himself as king of the misfits.

Slate has a penchant for smoking cigarettes, a habit used to satisfy a tic. He is often seen wearing dark leather and sunglasses.
