This brilliant king of Corinth
is quite kind and charming, but also very stubborn. He works hard to improve
the living conditions in his kingdom, through inventions and clever planning.
But he also works hard to avoid any threat to his own well-being. This
includes elaborate schemes to avoid death and the need for total secrecy
about his spellcasting ability. Practically unique in the known world,
Divine orientation:
Sisyphus didn’t get a god to sponsor his wizardry - he managed to learn
the secret through diligent spying and deduction. He knows the Olympians
will punish him harshly for this and goes to great lengths to make people
believe that any spell he casts is in fact just sleight of hands and careful
use of props.

Possessions: Royal
robes, a smokestick, a tanglefoot bag, a thunderstone. If expecting mêlée
combat: a longsword and a masterwork chaingmail, but this is unusual and
not included in the stats above.
Sisyphus is now a petitioner of Tartarus (stats as above, but alignment is neutral evil). He has access to Ares' continuity device, but dares not use it until he is certain that Ares is dead.
