Hethe was a creature of Shadow and servant to Shadowthrone. He had a mutable appearance, constantly seeming to grow and shrink. Sometimes he appeared as a man possessing a great thatch of black hair framing a long face. At other times he seemed to be a short, hairy, winged, monkey-like creature. He was an inherently ridiculous figure who spoke Talian in a whimsical manner and struggled to keep his robes together when he was not wiping his nose on them.
