[sub][i]"Despite the sorcery, three hundred thousand years had taken their toll. The skin that stretched across the squat man’s robust bones was a shiny nut brown in colour, the texture of leather. Whatever flesh it had once covered had contracted to thin strips the consistency of oak roots – such muscles showed through torn patches here and there. The creature’s face, what Toc could see of it, bore a heavy chinless jawbone, high cheeks and a pronounced brow ridge. The eye sockets were dark holes."[/i][/sub]
 
[*]Personality: Even at his great age, Tool continues to change through his, abnormal for his race, contact with humans. He changes more now in the service of the Malazan empire than ever before. Where there was once a merciless killing machine there is now a being full of compassion and caring. One that abhors senseless voilence but is capable of fearsome anger. He is a great believer in justice, willing to fight to the end for any cause that he sees as being just.
[sub][i]"If by our sacrifice - yours and mine,' said Onos T'oolan, 'the pain of one life can be ended; if, by our deaths, this one can be guided home... we will judge this a worthy cause."[/i][/sub]
 
[*]Powers/Skills: 
[list][*]Ritual of Tellann: A ritual that bound an entire race to a moment in time, irreversible binding their souls to their bodies in a form of immortality. The T'lan Imass cannot die but are by no means indestructible. Even with their bodies pounded into pieces they continue to exist.

Tool can return to the dust that he would have become if not for the ritual, traveling great distances before reforming in his physical form. He can travel across water this way buy can only find his shape on dry land.
 
[*]Sword Skill: Tool was known the First Sword of the T'lan Imass, the most skilled individual out of their entire race. He weilds his stone blade as if it were weightless, with inhuman speed and precision.

[*]Brief Bio: The story of Tool is the story of his entire race, the T'lan Imass. The Imass race was once a mortal people, one of the founding races long ago. They entered into a war with the Jaghut, powerful, nearly immortal giants that claimed power over the land, ice and cold. This was a war that they were losing. In response the entire Imass race bound themselves through the use of a ritual to an eternity of immortality.

Giving up their mortality allowed the Imass race to fight the Jaghut on equal footing, throwing themselves into a war of extermination that lasted three hundred thousand years. Eventually the T'Lan Imass, including Onos T'oolan, encountered the young Malazan Empire and entered into service under its emperor.

Tool is the last of his clan and so possesses a freedom of action that is singular among all of the Imass. He freely chooses his own path and develops closer friendships with mortals than any other individual of his race. 
 
[*]Equipment: Flint Sword: An ancient, unbreakable flint sword.
 
[*]Other: Though the T'lan Imass are immortal, they are far from invulnerable. Members of their race are tougher than a mortal but can be broken and dismembered until they are ineffective.[/list]
