Because he was once killed while in avatar form, the Black Lord is loath to send true avatars to Toril. Instead, he prefers to possess mortals or work through powerful servants such as the Zhentarim. When forced to create an avatar, Bane usually chooses the form of a handsome young human male with dark hair, stylish dress, and a condescending mien. The appearance of such an avatar is seldom a moment of celebration for the clergy of the Lord of Darkness, since such occasions generally mean that Bane has decided to take a personal interest in the punishment of a failed disciple. Bane treats his avatars as morale officers, not soldiers, so his own worshipers usually have more to fear from them than do his enemies.
