Fan Casting Kas the Bloody-Handed in Dungeons & Dragons: The Hand of Chaos

A legendary figure of gothic terror, Kas is a tall, pale vampire lord with long black hair, blood-red eyes, and sharp teeth, clad in black armor. Once Vecna's most trusted and bloodthirsty general, he betrayed his master out of ambition and was banished to the gray, lifeless Plane of Ash for ten thousand years. From his ashen prison, he has waited with monumental, predatory patience, manipulating events by gifting Hightower his sentient sword in a near-death dream a decade ago. He appears in the flesh after Vecna's destruction, thanking Hightower with cold, formal precision before his mask slips to reveal the snarling, demonic monster beneath the aristocratic veneer. He is a patient, ancient evil who sees Hightower as a tool for his revenge, and whose final, possessive lunge promises future terror.
