Kostchtchie
The Deathless; the Demon Prince of Wrath
Planar tanar’ri lord of revenge, wrath, frost giants [he/him] / CE
Lair: Abyss / Layer 23 — The Iron Wastes
Resembling a towering but misshapen frost giant with yellowed skin Kostchtchie (pronounced (KOSS-chuh-chee) is ugly in both body and soul. Petulant, erratic, and hateful, the Prince of Wrath holds the dubious honour of being one of the youngest demon princes. He despises other demons as much as he does humanoids and virtually any other living thing that is not a frost giant—despite this fixation, however, Kostchtchie was human himself in his mortal existence, a fact he is eager to conceal, even from himself.
The raging demon rules the Iron Wastes, the 23rd layer of the Abyss, from his Glacier Citadel. Within this cold and mountainous realm, Kostchtchie plots endlessly against the frost giant god Thrym, the demon prince Graz’zt, and countless others who he feels have in some way slighted him. He owes a debt to the witch Tasha in her guise as Iggwilv for gifting him with his magic hammer Matalotok.
