Like Ilsensine, Maanzecorian holds the illithids to be the natural dominators of all planes and worlds and other races only fit for food and slavery. However, he considers that there are things which illithids may profitably learn from other brains before they eat them, and eating is a pleasure which is most delightful after lingering anticipation. He is a philosopher-Power, one who has a vast library of arcane works in his own palace. The god is vain and his palace is sumptuously furnished with jet, jade, ivory, marble and the skins of many creatures. He is always deferential to Ilsensine, although he doesn't necessarily pass on all he knows to the greater god.
