The Alhoon of Gothic Earth[1] (real name unknown) is a lich mind flayer whom crash landed on Gothic Earth when its ]]spelljamming ship]] gave out. Then a simple illithid, it quickly discovered it was far away from the Elder Brain and proceeded to murder its kindred still in stasis. Slowly it began to learn forbidden arcane lore and eventually transformed itself in a alhoon.
The alhoon has mastered biomancy enough to create an illithid leech that will transform a human into an illithid like
aberrations and part of a hive mind, presumably controlled by the alhoon. These illithid drones appear perfectly human, but have much of the psychic powers and the tentacles of a mind flayer (but hidden inside the human skull.)
In 1893, Abraham Van Helsing encountered several of its drones and was ultimately captured. He was held in the lich's lair for a time before escaping. He learned from a stolen book much of its history and goals- including that it plans of inducting every intellectual person into his hive mind.
