 Zadireth appears to very firmly believe in Dlyss' vision of a grand destiny for the Chosen and in the favor of the gods. That said, he maintains that he harbors no ill will toward the Unchosen - normal takmar - as a whole despite the actions of individuals toward the Chosen, describing the conflict instead in terms of evolutionary inevitability, or else in practical them-or-us terms. He considers them ultimately expendable, but is willing to deal with them so long as it does not unduly impede his purpose.  Zadireth appears to very firmly believe in Dlyss' vision of a grand destiny for the Chosen and in the favor of the gods.

-Zadireth is not solemnly pious in the way that Dlyss is, but nonetheless professes a deep gratitude to the gods, particularly the [[culture:mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:|Lamnar]], whom he holds collectively responsible as being the source of the Chosens' magic. He is in fact something of an evangelist in this regard, and seems to enjoy reminding other Chosen of their debt to the gods, and encouraging them to find those Lamnar that correspond to their personality and/or powers and offer worship, or at least thanks, to Them.+Zadireth is not solemnly pious in the way that Dlyss is, but nonetheless professes a deep gratitude to the gods, particularly the [[mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:]], whom he holds collectively responsible as being the source of the Chosens' magic.

-Zadireth considers himself to have an affinity for [[culture:mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:seluurin|Seluurin]], goddess of order, fate, and destiny, and secondarily for [[culture:mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:ytannik|Ytannik]], goddess of alchemy. +Zadireth considers himself to have an affinity for [[mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:seluurin]], goddess of order, fate, and destiny, and secondarily for [[mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:ytannik]], goddess of alchemy.

-Zadireth is attuned with [[chosen:magic:shift|Shift]] as well as Substance, which gives him a worrying capacity to modify his own body. Not only is he capable of assuming any of a host of takma forms (and, with some limitations, transforming others within a short distance), he is also capable of transmuting his own flesh, though it must be used carefully lest he cause permanent damage.+Zadireth is attuned with [[chosen:magic:Shift]] as well as Substance, which gives him a worrying capacity to modify his own body.

 Generally this latter ability is most useful for healing minor injuries, though he can also grow a form of armored plates on his scales. However, neither process is fast and he must find cover in order to put them to the uninterrupted use that makes them effective. Generally this latter ability is most useful for healing minor injuries, though he can also grow a form of armored plates on his scales.

-Zadireth has no psionic abilities other than simple [[concept:empathic_sense|empathy]] and [[takma:behaviors#empathic_shielding|empathic shielding]], but partly due to a knack for simulating thought patterns and partly from long practice, others, even [[chosen:magic:mind|Mind]] adepts, find it difficult to read Zadireth's thoughts and intentions. Possibly they should be grateful for this, in the same way that putting one's nose too close to the flowers may oblige one to smell the manure.+Zadireth has no psionic abilities other than simple [[concept:empathic_sense|empathy]] and [[takma:behaviors#empathic shielding]], but partly due to a knack for simulating thought patterns and partly from long practice, others, even [[chosen:magic:Mind]] adepts, find it difficult to read Zadireth's thoughts and intentions.

 Zadireth's mother was named Evlith; he had two fathers and a large number of siblings, whose names are currently unknown.

-He is married to his longtime traveling companion, [[person:dlyss|Dlyss]]. Insofar as he is open to anyone, it is with her, particularly since he has no way of hiding any past or future actions from her; while she in turn confides in him and entrusts him with tasks requiring discretion or delicate handling. While an outside observer might struggle to describe their relationship in terms of romantic love, they recognize themselves as greater than the sum of their parts, and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel_theory_of_love#Pragma|regard each other as both useful and comforting]].+He is married to his longtime traveling companion, [[person:Dlyss]].

-Zadireth is not particularly close to Dlyss' other husbands, [[person:hejroth|Hejroth]] and [[person:keihaf|Keihaf]]; although, partly at Dlyss' insistence, he makes a point of treating them well, they occupy a different sphere of influence in her household. Whereas they concern themselves with the private and domestic affairs of the family, Zadireth is one of Dlyss' liaisons with the outside world and the Citadel public. Partly for this same reason, Zadireth is not close to [[person:dlyss#family|their children]] either, and has been little involved or interested in their upbringing. He is, by his own admission, not well-suited to child-rearing.+Zadireth is not particularly close to Dlyss' other husbands, [[person:Hejroth]] and [[person:Keihaf]]; although, partly at Dlyss' insistence, he makes a point of treating them well, they occupy a different sphere of influence in her household.

-Aside from Dlyss, Zadireth reveals his private motives and thoughts to very few, if any. Nonetheless, when he is staying in the Citadel, he cooperates closely with [[person:mortoth|Mortoth]], the effective spokesman for the [[culture:organization:hzataalar|Friends of the Future]]. Partly this is in a professional capacity, but the two get along very well, and share a similar sense of humor, as well as a similar attitude toward ethical behavior in carrying out Dlyss' wishes.+Aside from Dlyss, Zadireth reveals his private motives and thoughts to very few, if any.

-Unlike his wife, Zadireth is a formal member of the [[culture:organization:hzataalar|Friends of the Future]] and more or less serves as her personal representative in the organization. Much of his influence comes from this role, and from the missions he undertakes while performing it.+Unlike his wife, Zadireth is a formal member of the [[organization:hzataalar|Friends of the Future]] and more or less serves as her personal representative in the organization.
