Notes

• Niram is one of two Zealots of the Absolute (the other one being  Iogar) wearing half-plate armour similar to the  Half Plate Armour +2 underneath their Absolutist coils.
  • This is purely a visual distinction, as Niram uses and drops  Plate Armour for gameplay.
  • Niram's  Scalpspike Helm features a set of spiked wings on the sides, which is not present on the regular helmet or on any other zealots.
