Appearance:
A large spherical creature with one big eye set above a mouth filled with sharp teeth, and ten smaller eyes on stalks atop its body... at first glance, Tenball looks utterly horrific.

However, a second look into any of those deep blue eyes may bring surprises. The truth is that Ten is a kind and friendly soul, always ready to laugh at a good joke. Don't confuse kindness for weakness, however; he stands by those he names friends, and is very handy to have in a fight. He is also good with children.
Skills:
Holding to only one of the four tenets of beholder life, that knowledge is power, Tenball is an avid learner and a voracious reader; he has a private library which covers a variety of interests, particularly in the lore and intricacies of magic. Not being able to wield it himself, Tenball is fascinated by it and much of his collection centers around it, from scholarly treatises and manuals for novices to ancient tomes of arcane power and spellbooks written by long-dead masters of the craft. The entrance to this library is only accessible to Tenball himself, or those he allows.

Ten spends much of his time assisting the Ilnarens with their charges at Stardreamer Manor, where he serves as tutor and minder (and occasionally as extra security). On Saturday evenings he will normally be found tending bar at the Red Dragon Inn, and he also occasionally calls for challenges in the various dueling sports.

As a beholder, Tenball can produce various effects from each of his eyes. The large one above his mouth can emit a cone-shaped field that disrupts magic, whille the other ten eyes on stalks have various effects.
- disintegration (which he hates using because then he has to dust)
- pyrokinesis (heat vision!)
- charming (at least once to the point of making an opponent fall madly in love with him)
- sleep induction (useful when dealing with belligerent customers)
- petrification (never tell him you want to get stoned)
- "bubblevision" (creates a cloud of hallucinogenic bubbles that cover their target)
- three telekinetic eyes (two towards the front, one in back) that function in place of hands
- purple healing ray

For the longest time Tenball never used the last eye, because in most beholders that's a "death ray" and he doesn't like to kill. He finally used it intending to deliver a "mercy kill" for a mortally-wounded soldier in agony, as no healers were at hand. Both he and the soldier were quite surprised when the man's wounds swiftly healed.
