Minor Trait

An'kaar is bound to the ring by powerful magic, stripped away from powers he once had. As more detailed on the Adventure section of this entry, he regains access to his abilities as he slowly returns to his original strength with the help of the player characters or any NPC that owns him.

Attempts to free An'kaar from the red ring can be done with Techniques such as Release, but the attempt is naturally pinned against the power level of the magic used to seal him. The relevant roll has to beat the Potency of the white sorcerer that sealed him (a pre-calculated DC of 40) to be released from his prison. Furthermore, the attempt does not auto-succeed with a critical roll, due to the fact that the mysterious mage had the True Potency Feat.

Adventure

The first thing to set up in regards to An'kaar is where the artefact that contains him will be earned or found by the PCs. Once acquired, the PCs can tell the ring has energy to it, perhaps assuming it will give them some enhancement or protection.

For their interactions with An'kaar himself to commence, the ring must be worn by an individual who already bears some amount of hatred or anger in their heart, whether they are looking to get revenge on an individual, are distrustful of a particular group or species, or recently went through a rage-inducing experience, even perhaps a small feud between the party members. The negative energy from those emotions are enough to grant him the ability to use Telepathic Link from within the ring to communicate with the player character. From then, he would begin to explain who he was, a famous advisor who influenced many rulers and other important people, conveniently leaving out his true motives, especially his intentions to drive his new master towards the same rage and distrust as he instilled in others as a way of powering up and eventually escaping his current circumstances.

An'kaar, as he did often did when he was a free being, tells his master he is there only to serve them, primarily as an advisor, of course, boasting once again about his impressive resume, naming perhaps some of history's most famous rules. And indeed, should the player character give weight to his words, over time he attempts to subtly steer them towards the aforementioned negative emotions that feed him. As his master begins to apply his advice, An'kaar begins to regain some of his original power, eventually being able to assist the party by casting some of his Techniques from within the ring.

While An'kaar does follow commands, he only listens to the individuals he knows he is capable of influencing, specially the one he he considers his true master. Naturally, he sides with them in all matters, wanting to earn their trust so that they are more easily be swayed by this ideas. He will, however, often act on his own accord, whether he is attempting to protect his master and their allies from incoming threats, or actually trying to instigate a specific occurrence, one that will lead his owner deeper into the path of distrust or hatred. Of course, in the latter case, he does so discreetly, so that his true intentions are not discovered.
