The Abyssal Scion

Symbol: A six-fingered black taloned hand, palm outward.

All known variants of the Multiversal Glitch known as the Abyssal Scion are a son of the Demon Lord Graz'zt. Aside from very minor cosmetic differences, each known variant have physically been nearly identical. Many are indistinguishable from one another, but even the most variegated are as similar as close siblings or perhaps the same person at different ages and life conditions.

However, while alike in appearance, the variants vary broadly in outlook and personality. Almost all of them are on the lower side of the moral and ethical spectrum but run the gamut from vile to merely selfish or scheming. Some variants are even basically trustworthy, and a rare couple have seemed to be unironically righteous. He's a study in Nature vs. Nurture, to be sure.

A common element for all the known variants is their individual relationship with their multiverse's version of their father. Some are aligned with or serve Graz'zt, others hide from him, and some oppose him. It is known that several variants of this glitch that encountered each other have cooperated temporarily, but (perhaps inevitably) turn on one another.

Eliminated Variants

The following variants have either been killed off or the player has ruled them out as their final form.

Menimar, Wordbearer of Graz'zt

This insidious Cambion Cleric is as Tricky as they come, sweet talking suckers into service.

Demane, the Nail of Verin

This treacherous Cambion Warlock furthers the interests of the Fiend Verin.

Nine-Tenths, Extra-planar Purloiner

This slippery Cambion Rogue is an infamous Arcanoklept freelancing for the Radiant Beacon.

Legerdemain, the Transcendent Transmogrifier

This adaptable Cambion Wizard is a master of Transmogrification magics.

Ord, Adepte de L'étrange

This fun-loving Cambion Fighter enjoys learning Eldritch magic as well as martial masteries.

Ordomalinaut, the Abyssal Explorer

This Cambion explorer pursues a personal quest to discover and map every possible way into his father's layers of the Abyss. He never stops planning, plotting, conjecturing attack scenarios, making grand schemes to bring Graz'zt down.

Ordom, the Threnodic Thanomancer

This dolorous Cambion Wizard is a master of Thanomancy.

Fabled Items

The many variants of the Multiversal Glitch known as the Abyssal Scion often bear some combination of the following signature magic items. For whatever reason, a larger collection of such items are associated with this glitch and there does not appear to be any specific item favored by all or most of the variants.

Aradelkharba

The so-called `Sword of the Heavens` is a greatsword with a blade that appears to be composed of the stuff of the night sky, glorious to behold and dreadful to be struck by.

Celestial Armor

This obviously magical suit of armor is adorned with celestial symbols, including tiny stars that can burst forth from the armor to unerringly streak towards a designated foe.

Grimoire of Endless Possibilities

This magical tome is hefty and solidly bound, with metal corner caps and reinforcement. The elaborate front cover is adorned with a variety of mystical symbols around a magic circle bearing a prominent five-pointed star.

Void Echo Armor

The parts of this obviously magical suit of Studded Leather Armor appear to swirl in and out of reality. It is somewhat disturbing to others.

Princely Azzagratian Armor

Despite nominally being composed of metal, this ornamental and obviously magical suit of armor is treated as Studded Leather Armor. Adorned with complex fancy work and studded with multiple flame colored gems, it is fit for an abyssal prince.

Abyssalnaut Armor

This bare steel armor is a fully enclosed and helmeted suit of platemail, but is treated as Half Plate due to its lighter weight and superior articulation. It includes a fully enclosed and sealable helmet with built-in goggles.

Robe of Deep Waters

These two-toned blue robes are loose and comfortable, with a fine leather belt and undershirt.

Grimoire of Dark Reflections

This formidable magical tome has pages of blackened leather (skin?) upon which symbols and text appear glistening red, like freshly spilled blood...but when turned in the light they also shimmer foil-like.

Planar Grimoire

This magical tome is solidly bound in a compelling star blue star field that is obviously magical. The elaborate front cover is adorned with a variety of mystical symbols around a magic circle bearing a prominent cosmological number wheel.

Cosmic Amulet

The center of this matte silver amulet is a large blue gem that has a panorama of magical stars slowly rotating within it. Arrow-like elaborations mark out the cardinal directions and light up in different patterns when spells are cast from the amulet.

Amulet of the Six Fingered One

This ornate metal amulet bears the ambiguous visage of the Demon Lord Graz'zt, with emerald eyes and a larger emerald capstone. It weighs 6.66 ounces, is always exactly three degrees warmer than room temperature, and it rings like a fine bell if touched by pure silver.

Cambio Repentino

This long hilted claymore is as elegant as it is dreadful. Eager for battle, its bearer will sometimes find the blade in their hand with no memory of having drawn it.

Doomfang Dagger

This menacing dagger has a fell aspect, with a 'blade' comprised of two horn-like spikes twisted around one another in a sort of helix. The end of each quillion bears a savage bestial face with bared fangs. The handle is wrapped in what appears to be dessicated demon skin. The pommel is a knurled double horned arrangement that isn't recognizeable as anything in particular but is somehow the more disturbing for its ambiguity.

Staff of Last Resort

This twisted black metal staff is topped by a green orb that smokes with green magical vapors when used.

Player Favor

When the campaign draws to a close, each Glitch's "true" form must be chosen, eliminating all the other variants from having ever existed. Following are the player's relative scores (expressed as a Tier list) for the variants and special items of this Glitch. The scores are not a measure of power or quality, they instead measure the player's overall enjoyment on the one hand, and likelihood of selection for the endgame on the other.
