Logan Pickett

Logan Pickett is a high-ranking officer in the Astaran Order. He is also a turncoat heavily involved in the conspiracy from the Coven of the Virulent Eye - a group of hags set on taking down the Astaran Order.

The party learned of him after they rescued Neria from her corruption - she explained that he had come to see her and that he was likely the culprit behind the corrupting stone placed in her waters.

Following up on that lead, the party tracked him down in Oleander, where he was stationed. They went to speak with him in his office, but instead overheard him speaking to someone who was very likely a hag. While the party eavesdropped, the pair mentioned that they were operating out of some sort of building in town - this ended up being the Omega sorority house, but at the time the party believed it to be the Montgomery mansion.

To gather more information about Logan, the party broke into his apartment. There they found a series of audio recordings that implicate him in the coven's plans and provide insight to how he fell under their influence. The recordings also show the man's descent into madness over time.

When the party discovered the abandoned Omega House sorority that the coven was operating out of, they ended up fighting Logan and Belinda Buttoneyes, though they both escaped the combat. The pair were aided by the sentient slime that tried to open Irving's hell portal - the party "killed" said slime, but it only caused the creature to explode into smaller pieces which went on to attack civilians in Oleander.

Appearance and Personality
Logan is slim, middle-aged human man with dark hair pulled into a ponytail. He looks handsome, but haggard. He has a low voice with a persistent cough due to lung inflammation from chain smoking.

The curse that afflicts Logan seems to rattle a person's sanity. Logan is a very charismatic and deceptive person, which he uses to hide the fact that he is insane, and continue working from a position of power within the Order. He does not seem to have lost the trust of Mirran Conrad or any other superiors, despite that he is working against them.

Like most Astarans, Logan has an interest in invention and creation, which he expresses through tinkering with technology - most notably with audio recording and playback technology. That said, he seems to have lost faith in all the gods after his possession.

Backstory
Logan was once a true cleric of Astara, but fell under the influence of the coven of hags, and apparently at some point, saw some eldritch horror that drove him to insanity. Over the course of several months, he lost his wife and his sense of humanity due to the creeping madness. It is also likely that he is infected by the same curse/possession as Warren Cadhill, given that in combat they fight with the same mutated monstrous arm.

He was probably responsible for the vandalism of the temple to Vargkaras in the Sleepless Bramble.
