Ambassador Laquatus represented the cephalid's Mer Empire on Otaria, though he was a merfolk.
The main reason for this, was that he was responsible for the cephalid's rise to power (he helped them replace the merfolk as the dominant race in Otaria's oceans), and he was able to change freely between his natural and his two-legged forms faster than other members of his race. He hated the assignment and loathed having to deal with surface-dwellers, longing to get back into the cephalid imperial court and increase his power.
Whilst he appeared to be a loyal subject, Laquatus played dangerous political games above the waves and below, ultimately looking to seize power for himself. Laquatus was a talented blue mage, possessing the ability to hypnotise people and implant false memories; which he used against Kirtar and numerous members of the Cabal in order to convince them to trust him. He also employed the amphibian Turg, and later the dementia beast Burke to provide physical force.
He was one of the many individuals obsessed with obtaining the Mirari which led him to confront Kamahl. Ultimately he failed in his task and was killed by Kamahl twice, first after a battle in Krosa, and then as a Mirari-mutated giant zombie.
