Character from Mage Errant by John Bierce
An ancient lich Great Power — one of the most feared beings on Anastis, whose motivations and alliances shift on timescales that make even other Great Powers uneasy.
Galvachren is a variable in every Great Power calculation — too powerful to ignore, too unpredictable to rely upon. As an ancient lich, Galvachren has outlived civilizations and accumulated power that few can quantify. The lich's alliances are transactional and temporary, shifting when the calculus of self-interest changes. Other Great Powers treat Galvachren with the wary respect given to a natural disaster that might change course at any moment.
An ancient lich whose physical form bears the marks of centuries of undeath. Galvachren's appearance is deliberately obscured — liches choose how much of their original form to preserve, and Galvachren has made choices that prioritize intimidation over nostalgia.
