Penderghast is a Forsaken man who is occasionally glimpsed skulking about the thoroughfares of the Undercity or Silvermoon. He walks and runs hunched over with a strange, skittering gait that is vaguely disconcerting to watch, and frequently talks to himself. Moths constantly flutter about his armor; it seems as if his partially decomposed flesh is infested with their larvae. Although his clothing is rarely consistent, he always wears a mask or helmet over his face. If questioned, his impeccable reasoning suggests he is either paranoid or possesses some residual vanity from his former life that compels him to conceal his ghastly visage.
