Zoran Kluthidol

Zoran Kluthidol is a goliath blood hunter affiliated with the Tombtakers. While Lucien was missing and presumed dead, he worked as a torturer for the Myriad in Rexxentrum.

Description
Zoran is a goliath man. He is a man of a few words, rarely speaking unless it was to complain about something or answer a question. He stated that he "didn't do friends"; however, he suggested he considered the other Tombtakers his friends, though he immediately recanted.

Before Campaign 2
Zoran was from the Menagerie Coast originally. He "wasn't much for friendship" until joining the Tombtakers. He eventually became a blood hunter of the Claret Orders. He ultimately left the organization with Lucien and others, who felt that the Orders were "clouded" in their path, to return to Shadycreek Run in about 829 or 830 PD and form the Tombtakers. He later said that he did not consider himself one for friendship until he met the other Tombtakers, though he quickly retracted the statement.

The group then began working out of the city as mercenaries, performing work ranging from theft to bodyguarding. They were also hired for a number of expeditions into the ruins of Molaesmyr and other locations; on at least one expedition, they encountered hags and made it to the tower of Caes Mosor. Vess DeRogna hired them to accompany her on expeditions, and the Tombtakers accompanied her to the ruins of Aeor in Eiselcross and to the exterior of Molaesmyr.

In 833 PD, two years before Campaign 2, Lucien sought to go Aeor's Cognouza Ward, now in the Astral Sea. He contacted Vess to perform a ritual, but she instead sabotaged it to kill him. Having been told by Vess that it would be difficult to tell if the ritual succeeded, the Tombtakers waited until dawn. With no change in Lucien's condition, they followed Lucien's instructions to get rid of any trace of the ritual should it go wrong and buried him near their hideout. The group then disbanded.

By 835 PD, Zoran was working as a torturer for The Myriad in Rexxentrum.

Campaign 2: The Mighty Nein
Zoran is first mentioned in the campaign after Mollymauk Tealeaf, who came to inhabit Lucien's body, met Cree in Zadash in 835 PD. Cree said that Zoran, like the others, had scattered. Several months later, in 836 PD, he and the other Tombtakers gathered at Mollymauk's grave on the Glory Run Road to resurrect Lucien into the body.

He followed Lucien to Eiselcross to collect threshold crests from various Aeorian ruins; Lucien hoped to use them to bring the Cognouza Ward from the Astral Sea into Exandria. He was present during the entire the expedition to Aeor proper, throughout which he carrying a threshold crest inside a large pack. While the Mighty Nein were forced to travel with the Tombtakers, Zoran was not particularly against having them as company. He prevented Jester Lavorre from falling into a river of lava as they crossed, and Jester attempted twice to surreptitiously cause him to drop the threshold crest, once by loosening the strap as he rescued her and again by lifting him by the pack while Polymorphed as an eagle. He was oblivious to both attempts, and they thanked the other for saving their lives afterward.

As the Tombtakers rappelled into the ruins of Aeor, Zoran was incapacitated by a trap set by the Nein and fell around seventy feet into a second trap of three intuit charges. He was unconscious when the Nein found him, and he was decapitated by Fjord in a show of force. Caduceus Clay took his head with him as the group pursued Lucien and Cree deeper into Aeor as an option for Speak with Dead.
