| “ | Do you know how many lives you've ruined? Yes, you know. You understand it all. You know the wretchedness of your actions as you steal the coin of the peasants and the innocence of the girls. You know, and so you are afraid. Selûne is a goodly god, so I've heard, and thus will have nothing to do with the likes of you. I call you a fraud, and there is nowhere left for you to hide. | „ |
| ~ Entreri to Yinochek. |
Yinochek was a self-righteous, hedonistic and sociopathic narcissist. Because of devotion to his goddess, he believed himself to be more morally righteous than any other person, and acted condescending to everyone he met, since in his eyes, they were all greedy and unholy insects not worth his time. Yinochek was also known to hypocritically mock the poor for valuing any of what little they had, while he indulged in all kinds of hedonism. He felt no remorse for raping women, since he didn't consider them anything but objects that existed solely for his pleasure. It is implied that deep down, he knew what a monster he was; he simply didn't care.
Biography[]
At some point, Yinochek began worshiping Selûne and took over the Protector's House, where he twisted their religion by having the people of Memnon believe that the only way to save their dead loved ones from Hell, even temporarily, was by giving money or services to the priests. As a results, Yinochek and the Protector's House got incredibly rich, indulging in all forms of hedonism, while the commoners of the city got incredibly poor.
On one occasion, Yinochek brutally raped and impregnated a young woman named Shanali, before throwing her onto the street with nothing to her name. Although he immediately forgot about the incident, since it was very common for him, Shanali would give birth to a child named Artemis nine months later.
About three decades later, Artemis returned to Memnon and attacked the Protector's House looking for vengeance for his mother, along with crafty dark elf Jarlaxle and a dangerous dwarf named Athrogate. Although Yinochek used all of his resources to avoid the confrontation, Artemis and his friend eventually found and killed him.
