Trias is a deva, a celestial being from the Upper Planes. You first encountered him in the prison of Curst, imprisoned in an obsidian bubble. His beauty is astonishing to behold; the aura of goodness rolls from him like a glorious wave of light. His wings are charred down to the bone, yet he seems to bear his suffering with pride.
A fallen Deva who had some past dealings with the Nameless One. In the game, Trias and the Nameless One's paths cross only tangentially. Trias has obviously met the Nameless One before, and did feel the need to lie to him and use his strength to break free, but nothing of their past is revealed or even hinted at.
Although he is a Deva, Trias has the ability to lie. Since it is generally believed that Devas never lie, both The Nameless One and Fhjull ended up being tricked by Trias. His true name is Trias the Betrayer, and true to form, he uses the Nameless One to escape his prison in Curst and drive the entire border town of Curst into Carceri, the prison plane at its edge. Trias does, however, provide the Nameless One with some of the information he needs, which leads him to Avernus, the uppermost level of Baator, where the Pillar of Skulls waits. Later, it turns out that the Pillar of Skulls did not have the answer the Nameless One wanted, but Trias did, and so the Nameless One returns to a hellish Curst to confront the Deva and defeat him. If Vhailor is with the party, you are given no choice but to kill Trias. Otherwise, Trias can actually be "redeemed", though this could simply be another lie.
And what would you wish of me, mortal? Speak your mind and leave me to my memories of paradise.
How is it that you believe that you have earned the right to any truths in this life or the next? Such arrogance.
Trias: I will not be judged by you mortal; not when you have lived the lives you have. Let me tell you of Betrayal: betrayal is cowardice... selling weapons to your adversaries out of fear that they might stop killing each other and turn upon you. Betrayal is refusing to lead by example. Betrayal is letting the Fiends run rampart through the Planes until evil has corrupted all hearts. [Summons demons to fight for him.]
Nameless One: What really happened to your wings, Trias?
Trias: [Smiles] All the balefire and hate in all the hells can not compare with the wrath of a father's anger.
Why are you so surprised? You have wandered in great circles across the planes in these countless lives you have lived. Such symmetry. Such futility. Go now, back to where it began. Go back, and die.
Nameless One: Have you forgotten the face of your father, Trias?
Trias: What? [And his mask of aching, divine beauty slips, consternation rolls across his features and you can glimpse the torment within, if only for a moment]
Care to explain? It is rather complex the reason that I posted it. But Planescape: Torment was/is such a beautiful game that allows one to play the struggle between good and evil yourself with different possible outcomes and different roles. Best experience though if you played it as neutral/lawful good.
This avatar has the same meaning and I felt that it was egoistic to use TNO as avatar. After all it is a beautiful game that many can play, it is not modest to use it.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
