"They ask me

but i only reply in silence."
30-50 feral hogs in one body not really
The Cursed Hog
Khersag is AFAB but accepts any pronouns, they use they/them primarily, but when under effects of corruption and less aware they refer to themselves as They/Them/It or others refer to Khersag as 'it'.
Human AU Khersag is very masculine in appearance, well muscled and tall.
Animal Khersag is rather giant for a hog, 20HH or 80 inches (203.2cm) at the shoulder. A little over double the height of a regular Wild Hog. (3ft or 36 inches).
Khersag is very heavy even without their chain, the chain weighs something like 60-90 lbs alone. Gold is heavy.
Notes for connections:
Potentially met Aihonistra during the Wasting Miasma hunt, lingering nearby and attracted to the corruption in the area, Aihonistras own corruption gathers their interest but the mare isn't corrupt enough to keep it.
May be known by Rhavid due to both being Mage Protectors in the past, similar ages?
Mutual benefit relationship or interaction with Otto in the future?

Personality
Hateful, Angry, Ferocious | Absent, Distant, Demanding | Disciplined, Efficient, Self-sufficient
Khersag is a being of hatred, anger, hunger and ferocity. Its primary goal in late age is to hunt, kill, and even consume monsters of corrupted mages, seeking an end to its life. Khersag used to be a respectable Mage Protector, acknowledged by the King and Archon for thier work, but in time the corruption ate at its once brilliant mind and Khersag was no more, hidden from the light and the people, now a whispered rumor.More beast now than being, speaking with Khersag has near the same result as speaking to a dog, growls and glower alone, many eyes trained to seek corruption, often finding none. Rarely they speak when clemency returns, a flickering image of what once was.
Certain sensations, interactions or places may bring a lasting mind to the beast, and it often finds comfort in those like it, fellow mages turning slowly, to anything that stirs a memory. It is a distrustful creature, finding ill will in most, yet to those who gain its trust it may speak more, even simply to state its demands.
To an Order Mage, Khersag is considered a deadly weapon, an independent and self-sufficient being that can be set loose to do its work and return home succinctly as a loyal hunting dog. It works well with Order mages, dogmatically pursuing monsters until they are felled, returning once more to its home below the city.

History
A feral creature dwelling in the darkness of the tunnels under Namarast, a phantom of glowing eyes, or a black shape blending with the shadows of tunnels, its voice a raspy and unused, the rattle of a chain marking its travels. The beast usually responds to Order mages only, in grunts and growls, rarely words, spoken harshly and with malice. All it seeks is to be let out to feed, the prisoners in the cells cannot sate it, they’ve not changed, corrupted and the last meal was far too long ago. It want’s to taste the corruption, to find its peace and end when the Deities call. What happens after is retribution. Decades of loyal servitude, paid in blight of mind and body.
Khersag used to be a reputable Mage Protector of the order, rising quickly in the ranks and outshining many recruits and officers alike in her pursuit of greatness, little did she know her work would reward her with a broken mind and nothing to say for it. Her family, anything that once was, gone like her, into the depths of darkness and despair. Perhaps they moved on, thinking her dead and not hidden, perhaps they died. Khersag will never know.

Foresight
I see what has yet to come, what will become, I can't be trapped, I won't be stopped.
Khersag has the ability to see what will happen, allowing the mage to avoid attacks, danger, traps or other obstacles to their goal. They have no physical combative ability, which the beast makes up for with it's brute strength and unyielding pursuit.
