Mental characteristics

Personal history

Vlaakith was the name of many rulers of the Githyanki race after the disappearance of Gith, the rebel leader that united them against the Illithids. The original holder, Vlaakith I helped seal the pact between the red dragons and the Githyanki. All subsequent queens of the Githyanki were named after her.
Vlaakith CLVII stood out among the Vlaakiths for becoming a lich. Her undying reign and her success at getting rid of those who could challenge her were why she managed to retain her throne for longer than any other Vlaakith.
After centuries of undeath, she grew mad. She came up with an idea to become a deity and started to install a priest caste in Githyanki society. She also sent loyal lieutenants to quell any unrest that might arise. These were done to gradually prepare for her ascension and encourage the Githyanki to worship her as a deity. An inquisitor caste to hunt down people whom she wanted gone also existed. However, many Githyanki viewed her as a mad tyrant who would cause their people's destruction or enslavement at her hands even before she reached her goal.
