Formerly a resident of Port d'Elhour, Sandovor is now a werecrocodile[1] living with a tribe of dimunutive reptile men in the swamps of Souragne. Among his tribe, Sancovor is a high priest of Merrshaulk the Reptile God.[2]

Background

Sandovor is neither a lycanthrope by birth. He was born a normal man in Port d'Elhour, albeit one who was a great admirer of crocodiles and, to a lesser degree, other creatures of the swamp. Prior to his transformation, Sandovor made a living as a trapper, making regular excursions into the swamps of Souragne. On one such journey, he encountered the domain's small reptile men. A musical ritual they were performing unlocked the crocodile spirit inside of Sandovor, and he became a great werecrocodile. Eventually, he became the leader of this tribe.[2] Sandovor's transformation has not been a product of infection or an externally imposed curse but rather a result of his spiritual affinity with the crocodile[2] and his faithful belief in Merrshaulk[1].

Now venerated as an avatar of Merrshaulk, Sandovor takes monthly human sacrifices from his cult, whom faithfully continue to provide. Under his leadership, the reptile men have built a step pyramid[1]. However, the pyramid is only partially complete[3].

Jakobi is one of the prisoners kidnapped for ritual transformation into reptile men slaves of Sandovor and his tribe to work as grunt labor in working on the pyramid[4].
