Klenter is a ghost who lives in Sophanem. He was once the high priest of Sophanem. He died and was buried by means of an embalming ritual, but, due to the events that occurred during Icthlarin's Little Helper, the player was tricked and hypnotised by Amascut the Devourer to infiltrate his tomb and steal one of the Canopic jars containing his organs, so that she could steal his soul. When the player tries to leave Klenter's Pyramid after hiding one of her symbols inside one of the sarcophagi, Icthlarin himself breaks the spell placed on him by Amascut and the player wakes up outside the pyramid without realising what he had done. At this point, Klenter's soul can be seen in the streets of Sophanem, blaming the player for what he had done (of course, you can't really understand what he says unless you're wearing a Ghostspeak amulet), and everyone in the city (except maybe the Sphinx) will turn violent towards you for desecrating the tomb. Later, the player manages to enter the pyramid again (with the help of his/her Cat) to return the canopic jar he/she stole earlier, receiving Klenter's gratitude for doing so.
After this, the High Priest of Sophanem decides to perform a second embalming ritual for Klenter, during which Amascut attacks the priests and the player with a Possessed Priest thanks to the symbol the player had unknowingly placed there before, but she fails and runs away to hide.
By the end of the quest, it is stated by the High Priest that, unfortunately for the Sophanites, Amascut had hypnotised another adventurer (presumably another player starting the quest) immediately after running away from the ritual, to make him/her do the same things the player had previously done, and for that reason the plagues hadn't been lifted from Sophanem. The High Priest also states that, for as long as she doesn't give up on stealing Klenter's soul, the struggle between Icthlarin and Amascut would continue forever.
- The statements of the High Priest may also hint that just before the player starts the quest, another player was completing it exactly at the same time, making him/her the "other adventurer" that he talks about at the end of the quest, but to the eyes of the player that had previously finished it, thus making the quest a sort of unending time paradox that begins again after finishing. This causes Klenter's soul to never actually rest in peace, as it is continually awakened by hypnotised adventurers and put to sleep through embalming rituals.
However, this also makes it a bit hard to tell how long he's been dead, as it is as hard to tell how many times his tomb has been desecrated by hypnotised adventurers.
- It is also stated by the Sophanem slaves that they didn't really like him as a High Priest, as it seems he was a bit tyrannical and often cruel during his lifetime.
- He used to be the High Priest of Icthlarin until he died, at which time the role passed to the current High Priest.
