The result is Tithian becoming the Cerulean Storm www.darksunwiki.com/darksun/index.php/Ti... I'm making my cast of major character and not sure what it is.  Right now I have Tithian as a vengeful archon or some sort of firery elemental being, but still partly human.

Instead of everything being dry and hot, everything under the Cerulean Storm is cold and flooded. It seems to move on its own, dousing each of the remaining city-states with fiendish regularity.

Through psionics he attached himself to this lens as Rkard sealed away Rajaat. Thithian forever became a storm cloud after the sealing. So... essentialy there is no human fetures left to him exept his cosciencnese(probobly spelled wrong). Aside from that he is a quick lived storm that packs alot of lightning and heavy downpours refered to as a Tyr Storm in "The Rise and Fall of a Dragon King" novel.

The sun spell also vaporizes nearby Tithian who had rushed to touch the Lens at the moment the spell was cast. Later on the heroes discover that, while Tithian's body has been vaporized, his life force has now joined the elemental mass that has become the Storm. But Tithian is unable to affect the Storm, and cannot control it like Rajaat controlled his own body. It has been suggested that every Cerulean Wizard is a plant by Tithian, a tool to help free him from the Storm.

Maybe hes been enslaved by clerics/cultist that harvest him for water?  The PC's unknownly free him, not knowing who he is or that he wants revenge on Rkard.

I suggest people like Malignor (as NPCs with monster stat blocks) would have access to storm-themed powers, inspiration to be found in Defilers and Preservers: Wizards of Athas' description of the Cerulean Wizard kit, and with Athas.org's Prestige Class Appendix I's PrC of the same name.
