Phacthoraal

Phacthoraal is a Devil, one of the beings created by the Elder Goddesses prior to the creation of the Elder Artefacts. He rarely leaves his own plane in the infernal realms, choosing to operate through many avatars on numerous planes of existence. He, as well as a number of other Devils did not agree to the Demon Pacts and is not aligned to Zaros or Zamorak.

History
For a brief overview of how the Devils came to be, see A Demon's Tale.

Himself
In his most common form, Phacthoraal closely resembles a spider the size of a house. The majority of his body is an ashen white which gradually darkens down his legs to a dark black down his many legs. His numerous eyes are luminescent crimson spheres, dotting along his head and onto the back of his cephalothorax. The majority of his body's mass is his abdomen, which is roughly ten times larger than the cephalothorax and is etched with infernal markings.

Avatars
His avatars, in their inactive state, resemble blood red gems roughly the size of an ogre's fist. They bear no markings and appear to be perfect spheres, bearing no marks of having been cut.

When active, Phacthoraal will form a body around the avatar, creating the body to blend in with the world's natural population. He most often errs towards the weaker beings, to draw less attention. He most often takes the form of children and elderly women.

Personality
Phacthoraal places value on knowledge and little else and would leave any would-be ally in the line of fire if it furthered his own aims. When left to his own devices he watches over planes, looking for weakness to exploit in the continued war on the Elder Goddesses' creations. Unlike many of his kin, he does not seek outright control, preferring a more cautious approach.

Trivia
