Musyerius
"Keles Musyerius" Or­deal­man and My­sun­sai sor­cer­er-​of-​rank.

Mutilated
The Mutilated were five male humans living in Golgotterath .

Appearance

The five men wore quilted gray silk robes. They were all bald, because they shaved their heads, and their skin was pale from the lack of sun. Most of them are horribly disfigured, burnt or scarred, presumably due to the wounds they suffered during combat in Ishuäl .

Skills

All five are capable Dûnyain , considering they survived the hellish battle for the Thousand Thousand Halls . They also have deep understanding of the Tekne .

In The Unholy Consult

The Mutilated were captured by the Consult during the attack on Ishuäl . By employing their Dûnyain craft, they eventually came to rule the Consult, believing that their goals are aligned and the No-God is the Absolute they were striving for. They mean to summon the No-God by inserting Anasûrimbor Kellhus into the sarcophagus. When this fails, they manage to insert his son, Anasûrimbor Kelmomas , into the object, thus initiating the Second Apocalypse.
