Mood: Vâh-rús is an intelligent, experienced man of about 60 years old. He is a capable warrior but an even greater commander, who has fought in many wars, leading legions of thousands of warriors. Ruthlessly effective, he inspires loyalty in his own men and terror in his enemies. Vâh-rús serves the shadowy Onyx Emperor, a puppet of the Dark Lord Sauron. He is unopposed to cruel and harsh strategies, and is known to his enemies as capable of terrifying bloodshed in service of his emperor’s ambitions.

Accent: Vaguely exotic - Eastern, but not Middle-eastern. Rhûn is analogous to the Eastern Steppe/Mongolia and Asia. The tongues of Rhûn were said to sound ‘harsh’ to those that did not know them, so his voice should reflect that. Harsh voiceless fricatives, rolling R’s, with little sense of melody.
