Eldritch Encounter: 
	- A former member of a cult based in rural Armenia attempting to make contact with a golden presence in the stars.
	- Was part of sacrificial rituals in order to create a vessel for The King in Yellow. Partially successful, unfortunately.

Traits: 
	- Marked: Keshishian is covered in ritualistic scarring and brands all looping together in order to form some unknown pattern 	 	 
 	gleaned from contact with The Yellow King.
	- Obsessive: Anything Keshishian puts his mind to he becomes utterly obsessed. Pursuing it with single mindedness that borders on 
 	pathology. 
	- Desensitized: Most things that would provoke a reaction from most people seem to not even make a dent in Keshishian's demeanor. 
	- Criminality: His experience with the cult and his life afterward left him with few skills other than theft, violence, and, 
 	intimidation.
	- Street Fighter: While not trained in any form of codified martial art Keshishian has been in countless scraps either to kidnap 
 	victims for the cult or on the street to survive after he defected.
	- Initiated: Keshishian has seen the inner workings of a cult firsthand and participated. He is able to think like a cultist and 
 	understands them as much as anyone can.

	- Performed numerous heinous acts over the next 9 years in service to making communion with The Yellow King.
	- Performed the cult's final ill fated ritual to make contact with their patron by sacrificing all of his children and making his 
 	wife the vessel for The Yellow King.  
	- After his former wife, now strange leader of the cult, had started to make ever stranger requests started to realize what his
