Blind Serpents

The Blind Serpents are the near-mindless servants of Triage. Their mission is whatever Triage says it is, but it usually involves killing people before they can alter history in some grandiose way.

These creatures appear as men, though their true form is a man-sized snake with the head of a lion and milky, blind eyes. They take the roles of background individuals — other soldiers, corpses littering the battlefield, and so on — until Triage gives them an order. Then they take on their true form and attack.

The Blind Serpents do not fear death. They do not fear at all, in fact. They are near-mindless and have very little agency of their own. They are, however, capable of performing basic medical care (again, influence from Triage), but only do so for those that stand a good chance of surviving. They are much more effective at killing than saving.
