Pelias, @, is the Barbarian quest leader. Like the quest guardian chieftains and other barbarians, he has intrinsic poison resistance.
Strategy
The following information pertains to an upcoming version (NetHack 3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
Pelias, along with other quest leaders, has been made significantly stronger, since killing quest leaders no longer makes the game unwinnable.
The changed stats are as follows: Speed becomes 15 (from 12); MR becomes 90 (from 30); first attack becomes 4d10 (from 1d6), and he gains a second 4d10 weapon attack.
Pelias also starts with a +5 chain mail and a +5 runesword.
Origin
Like many aspects of the barbarian role, Pelias is inspired by the Conan mythos; a character named Pelias appears in The Scarlet Citadel as one of the rare sorcerers to ally with Conan.
Encyclopedia entry
Conan cried out sharply and recoiled, thrusting his companion
back. Before them rose the great shimmering white form of Satha,
an ageless hate in its eyes. Conan tensed himself for one mad
berserker onslaught -- to thrust the glowing faggot into that
fiendish countenance and throw his life into the ripping sword-
stroke. But the snake was not looking at him. It was glaring
over his shoulder at the man called Pelias, who stood with his
arms folded, smiling. And in the great, cold, yellow eyes
slowly the hate died out in a glitter of pure fear -- the only
time Conan ever saw such an expression in a reptile's eyes.
With a swirling rush like the sweep of a strong wind, the great
snake was gone.
"What did he see to frighten him?" asked Conan, eyeing his
companion uneasily.
"The scaled people see what escapes the mortal eye," answered
Pelias cryptically. "You see my fleshy guise, he saw my naked
soul."
