Esjebrackus, King of the Ghouls, vassal of Yeenoghu, spawn of Orcus, is one of the mightiest of demon lords. As king of the Ghouls, he is always attended by 33 Ghouls of maximum hit points, and is capable of summoning an additional 2-20 once per day. Moreover, any ghouls in his presence are impossible to turn.
Esjebrackus fights with his Morning Star, a chaotic evil magical weapon of extraplanar origin that is +3 to hit and does 4-16 points per hit. He is as strong as an Ogre, and should he choose to fight unarmed he does 1-10 points of damage with his claws, plus the ability to paralyze an opponent. Unlike normal ghouls however, the save is made at -2, and it is fully functional against elves.
Moreover, Esjebrackus has the following spell like powers usable once per round as applicable: Darkness (10' radius), Telekinisis (8000 gp weight), Invisibility, Charm Person, Hold Person, Detect Invisiblity, Detect Good, Fear (as per wand), Blight, Polymorph Self, Phantasmal Kiler (once per day), Dispel magic (as a 15th level magic user), Confusion (1 time/day), Cause Critical Wounds (3
times/day).
Esjebrackus resembles a 10' Ghoul when found in natural form. However, he is usually found Polymorphed into some grotesque inhumanoid creature (along the lines of a slime), and only enters normal form at the start of combat. His progenitor, Orcus, and he share a great enmity, and Orcus seeks his offspring's destruction. The Ghouls no longer worship the Lord of the Undead, and this
is not forgotten by Orcus. Esjebrackus is young as demon lords go- Orcus fears that one day, all the undead will be worshiping this usurper. Yeenoghu, is delighted to cause his rival such stress by forging an alliance with his son. Esjebrackus simply waits.
