The kharisiri were born when a small group of conquistadors stumbled across a pyramid in the Andes that served as a prison for an ancient evil.
Driven by greed, the conquistadors removed a section of gold from the subterranean walls of the pyramid, inadvertently allowing larvae spawned by the god to escape. Some of these larvae crawled inside the men, transforming them into undying, half-human monsters driven by hunger. Only one of their numbers escaped, as outlined in the Final Confessions of Gaspar Figueroa.
