Characters of renowned guile and cleverness, or even stalwart brutality; these figures in history are known for their foggy backgrounds and the nature of darker things they have imposed on the realm.
Alive
Archwraith Nimdravur - Nimdravur acted as leader of the first Iblees cult to exist in 200 years, ruling within a keep he slaved over by hand, hidden under the ruse of a knighthood that would nearly come to national power. He was High Inquisitor of the Eventide Dominion and acted as the holy Sakras of the Jester-ruled Teutonic Order. His knighthood pledged itself to a rebellious Horen queen that sought to seize the throne of Oren. He became a Wraith during one short period of his life, in which he dedicated himself to scourge eradication. As one of the first Wraiths to ever be created, he held the title of Archwraith, before bestowing it upon Vinzakra in his absence.
The Boogie Man - A twisted being, who is obsessed with puppets and turned himself into one. Mostly known to be a weird, annoying creature who is one of the first Soul Puppeteers to bring the Dark Art into it's current state of fear. Being the Founder of the Apparition Ritual, he summoned the Spectral Beings throughout the realms to cause great pain into the minds of citizens and was responsible for the destruction of Luminaire in Anthos.
Evark Evocress - The Evocress name has daunted the realms since Aegis, from a formable lich to practitioner of Dark Arts. Evark Evocress has cursed the bloodline of a traitorous liar seeking only knowledge and power killing and torturing those around him including his children. Through his various countless arts of magical feats of first discovering fire evocation to his manipulative tactics through tongue and cheek as with the assistance of soul puppetry. One can only hold the word of an Evocress through a bound contract only otherwise it is meaningless.
Jester/Gravelord Vinzakra - A bandit and serial killer in his early life, this sociopathic High Elf has since taken up the use of many magical arts, most notably Necromancy. Through a transformation he has since become a Wraith, taking the title Gravelord of Punishment, dubbed "Gravelord Vinzakra." Once a leader of the Necromancer's Coven, he has since become Archwraith, at the request of Nimdravur, the previous Archwraith.
Knox - Knox is the pumpkin-wearing, blood-crazed cannibal maniac that has terrorized the mortal realm since the start of his dark reign in Asulon. His gruesome murders and gory dealings are known throughout the world as the bloodiest and most horrific.
Lucas Black - Known for his merciless mass-murders of many towns whilst working with The Undead. He was almost forced to become one of The Undead when his true intents were revealed that he was working against The Undead and selling information to nation leaders to try and ensure The Undead lost. No nation leader with this knowledge still lives, nor spread it, so it is widely accepted he was simply an unstable and temperamental psychopath, when in truth he's an exceptionally clever sociopath. He is also known for being a prominent figure in many dark groups and starting several wars during the time of Asulon before promptly vanishing for over a hundred and fifty years without making many goodbyes. He has reappeared near the end of Anthos, rather suddenly turning several battles against The Harbingers. Many view his return as an omen of darkness, whether it be he bringing it or simply arriving in response to it, and they would be right to think so with the rise of Iblees now present.
The Perfectionist - Never given this name outright, Naruntah'Jynx is the once muted mime, known widely for its egregious slayings and utterly manic maiming of itself and others. Now it takes the title of Gravelord Chrodraoes, the master of the Coven.
Dralazar - He murders people a lot.
The Warlock - A manipulative figure hidden behind a veil of shadows and a myriad of disguises, The Warlock is said to have a substantial grasp on politics as well as acting a voice of reason among Dark Magi. Rumored to have succeeded Kknotos and enacted his will until Ikuras no longer required it, there are none who have vexed this man and lived to tell the tale.
Dead, Gone or Missing
Drelik Letholdus - Drelik was House Flay’s Captain of the Guard and among the most ruthless of Augustus’s bannermen. He was also the founder of House Letholdus, his name inspiring legend among House Flay’s bannermen, as well as fear among its enemies.
Mili "The Skull" Irongut - Mili ‘The Skull’ Irongut was once a regular dwarf of the Irongut Clan, hailing from the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. He was known for having later betrayed his kin, digging a tunnel for House Flay’s bannermen to enter Mount Ire and slaughter the dwarven inhabitants within. He later became the House Engineer, a master of traps and redstone wiring.
Cabadath - Cabadath was House Flay’s Master of Alchemy and served Augustus Flay throughout his reign over the Dreadfort in the lands of Asulon. He supplied the house with a constant supply of fresh concoctions and was known for never having shown his real face.
Xander - Xander served throughout the reigns of three of House Flay’s Lords. He was perhaps the most trusted bannermen of Lord-Regent Lucius Flay, helping to usurp his brother, Tiberius II, and later being entrusted with the murder of his mother, Lorin Chivay, an effort to cover any evidence of her death so as not to enrage House Flay’s allies among the White Rose.
Fyrste - Famous for being one of the first to be turned Undead, Fyrste was constantly locking horns with the forces of Al'khazar. His gang of famous bandits constantly laid siege against Al'khazar in battle with General Giffords. Fyrste is known for leading the Undead to their complete conquest of Aegis.
Guraim - A possibly mentally disabled Dwarf bandit who worked first with The Undead, but on many occasions was assigned a task that was simply not possible for him to complete. After becoming annoyed with them, he violently slew a number of The Undead and moved onto just casual banditry. He came to take on many mercenary jobs only to botch those up incredibly, but somehow came out with even more pay. Guraim mysteriously vanished after slaughtering the entire population of Alras in Asulon, his whereabouts and end unknown.
Augustus Flay - A bandit from Aegis who went by the name 'Prince'. One of the two King of Bandits, Lucas Black refused to accept the title publicly and nominated Prince so he could remain anonymous. He founded the most powerful bandit group in Asulon known as The Hallowed Mountain Bandits that would destroy all others, later accepting an offer from Godfrey to become a noble House under him. He later led 'The Flays' to become a figure of terror for all in Asulon. Even now, the mention of 'Flays' is one to be feared.
Kknotos - The founder of the key of Ikuras. He devoted himself to revive his beloved wife, by those means he freed the Great Spirit Ikuras, though his wife was not next to him, all he found was his doom. Though, the Great Spirit found it fit to bring him back into the realm of Athera, now only to reap havoc on the descendants.
Mayctor - Dreadlord of the Undead, Mayctor earned a reputation for his kidnapping and torture of many famous citizens, such as Bell. His life came to an end, however, when he famously attacked Dawns Bakery in Al'khazar with fireballs, destroying much of it while setting many patrons of the Bakery ablaze.
Kane - A very well-known bandit. Kane prowled the Kings Road in Aegis day and night, earning the respect and admiration of fellow bandits, and the fear of more upstanding members of society. He at times slipped by undetected simply by wearing a pumpkin, but he met his end in Aegis via execution in Galahar.
Wrath - Wrath was one of the long-time and most well-known leaders of The Caravan, also known as one of the major bandit group that terrorized Aegis and Asulon. From his various bases, always called Wrath's Clutch, full-on wars were held between The Descendants and The Caravan. After selling his soul to Iblees and contributing heavily to the seemingly unending attacks of their kind against the descendant realms, taking hostage many lives into the cult itself, he eventually lost his life in the wars waged shortly before that world was destroyed.
Brunhylde Volsung - Founder and first Frost Mother of the Asulonian Coven of Frost Witches, historically her coven - known as the Frostborn Coven - is also the largest recorded group of frost witches to exist under one Frost Mother. Her influence over the war cleric, Areon Baldwin, became known to the infamous Order of the White Rose. These scandalous relations would eventually lead to a divide within the clerical schools of magic, where those of Baldwin's order were effectively hunted and assaulted by Oren's soldiers. One member of her coven was also know as the 'Mistress' of the Frozen Thorns, an underground organization responsible for several murders predominately in Oren's territory. Though long deceased, her cold touch can still be felt amongst the Descendant races as her daughters, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters continue in her legacy.
Rilath - The original poor soul to be tainted by Iblees for the use of the shades. All current shades descend from him, in some form or way. He has been involved in many dark activities, wreaking mayhem throughout multiple lands.
The Butcher Boys - Found and led by the Gambino Crime family, the butcher boys became a terrorizing gang in Oren, primarily Felsen. Widely regarded as one of the most richest and infamous gangs in history, controlling the city’s commerce and law by illegal means. This subversive syndicate eventually influenced politics by committing political assassinations of mayors, bribing the monarchy, blackmailing the judiciary, and extorting the city’s politicians for their anarchic and profiting agenda.
