	Following the theft of a relic [[holy]] to the Brotherhood they called [[the Sacred Barrier]] (in actuality, the [[Rod of Houtras]], a type of [[Rod of Rastinon]]) by [[Lyssa von Zarovich]], Drassak and Anitella journeyed to [[Bluetspur]] to get it back from her and [[the High Master Illithid]]. Through sneakiness and guile, Anitella and Drassak learned [[the High Master Illithid]]'s sinister plot to take over the [[Illithid God-Brain]] using [[the Apparatus]] triggered by the Rod.

	Drassak serves as an unexpected benefactor in the module Thoughts of Darkness. Despite the death of his body, Drassak's pure nature combined with his knowledge of [[psionic lore]] allows his [[spirit]] to overwhelm the tadpole as it devours his [[brain]]. From there, he implanted his soul to possess the High Master Illithid. Gaining the High Master's retinue of [[psionic]] [[power]]s, Drassak uses them to heal and assist the party. He brings the [[Rod of Houtras]] to bear against [[the Illithid God-Brain]]. The battle ends with Drassak's destruction but escape for the player characters and Anitella, the latter of whom remains behind in [[Bluetspur]].<ref>Thoughts of Darkness p. 47-55</ref>		Drassak serves as an unexpected benefactor in the module Thoughts of Darkness.
