Hamun Kost

Hamun Kost is a Red Wizard and the current Eternal Master of Thay.

History
Hamun Kost was encountered by Zero Uchiha, Rose, and Veras Gallandal at the Old Owl Well, when a group of zombies were heard to be attacking any who approached the area. He was seeking the name of the wizard who had built the tower near the Well. Zero and the party sought out a Banshee named Agatha. She informed the party that it was built by a Red Wizard named Arthindol. Hamun Kost seemed surprised by this information, but thanked the party and departed, promising his zombies would not harm the villagers again.

The party encountered him again while seeking the author of the Gillil diary, as they believed him or her to reside in Thay and needed safe passage. Hamun Kost agreed to transport them there and, in exchange, they would kill the evil lich known as Arthindol. The party agreed and were transported to the Doomvault. Hamun Kost guided them through the dangerous dungeon and into the phylactery vault, where they slayed Arthindol and found their answers. Hamun Kost teleported them back out of the Doomvault safely. Before parting ways, Hamun Kost remarked that Thay would be seeking a new Eternal Master.

Roughly a month after these events, Zero summoned Hamun into his castle. He asked of the nature of Thay, how one becomes Eternal Master, and revealed his plans to rule the world. Hamun Kost scoffed at the idea, stating it would be impossible for Zero to ever rule Thay. Instead, Hamun offered Zero the deal of an alliance with Thay if, in exchange, he aided him in becoming Eternal Master. Zero refused this offer, and the two parted ways.

Enough time has now passed that a new Eternal Master was likely elected, though it is unknown who has taken that spot.
