Ghezresh

Ghezresh Domain Symbol a chelioboros Smite/Bane Bane Critical Disintegration

Ghezresh is a spirit of the deep oceans. It is said to have come from a realm of elemental fire, but has become twisted over the eons in its watery prison, turning to deceit and manipulation to sustain itself. Its preferred physical manifestation is that of a great indigo eel, and its symbol is the chelioboros:

"Found in a variety of iconography on Caligos Isle is a circular symbol consisting of an eel, its body twisted and aberrant in form, captured in the act of devouring itself. Distinguishing head from tail is nearly impossible, and the imagery evokes a sense of confusion and trepidation undoubtedly rooted in the malformed figure of the creature as well as the abhorrent act in which it is engaged."

Behind the Scenes

Ghezresh was introduced at Ebon Gate 2017. He is a Lesser Spirit but his origin story implies he may have began as a Great Elemental.

The term chelioboros is unique to the lore of Ghezresh. It is derived from Greek χέλι, "eel", and -βορος, "devouring".

Censure messaging for Ghezresh makes a rare post-ICE reference to unlife.

A thick, damp mist soon follows and permeates the air with a choking clamminess. As you open your mouth to gasp for air, an ethereal eel emerges from the fog and slithers through your parted lips.
