Serthis — The Serpent-Bearer

Two tongues hiss,
one skull listens.
What coils does not sleep,
what bites does not let go.

Serthis was once a priest who sought immortality through covenant. In a crypt beneath the Codex’s shadow, he fed two serpents his own blood, swearing that they would guard his skull in death. But the Codex does not allow bargains — it consumes them. The serpents drank deeper than he dreamed, and when his skull was severed, they twined it as their throne.
 
Now his visage lingers, hollow yet unbroken, as the serpents coil and strike in his stead. Their venom drips not only into flesh but into words, corroding vows and swallowing oaths. Those who hear their hiss claim to hear a third voice between them, whispering truths that taste like betrayal.
 
The Codex names him the Serpent-Bearer — not man, not relic, but a hunger bound in bone and scale. It is said that the serpents cannot be slain unless the skull is shattered, and none dare lift a hand against it, for the Codex decrees: to touch the Serpent-Bearer is to be bitten, and to be bitten is to belong.
