The Energ once heralds themselves as immortals, who have rid themselves the worries of the flesh through the application and use of bizarre magics that effectively replaced their organs with bizarre kinetic chaos fields. While the process did make the Energ immune from disease and general weardown, the slightly injury destabilized the fields, causing them to eat the affected whole from the inside. The majority of those who undertook the ungodly ritual were killed in simple skirmishes or menial accidents, and the “powerful” mortals were unheard of twenty years after they first made claim of their brilliance.
One Energ did manage to escape death for a few hundred years, but at severe penalty to his quality of life. Already a over-cautious hypochondriac before the procedure, Tilig Swiy took great care to preserve himself, avoiding contact with everyone and spending his time merely reading books and collecting secrets. His residence is padded, his motions slow, and he rarely leaves his home. He lives purely on invested wealth (which has accumulated greatly) and he hires someone to purchase new material for him to study and digest.
The years in solitude has broken his spirit, and made Tilig irritable and irrational. While he knows more than any other person in the city, he meets no one and few know of his existence. If approached, he would lash out and grouse, but also take great care to keep people away from him, in case his flesh, taunt and hallow, should tear. Earning his trust is an extremely difficult task, but if someone manages (by magic or legendary charisma), he would be an invaluable historical resource, although an extremely fragile one.
