Iruen Verdari

The last of the infamous Verdari royal family of Maratrina. He ruled with total arrogance and authority. He demanded the unconditional love of his people regardless of his own actions. Unlike his ancestors, no rumours of devil worship swirled around Iruen Verari. It was said that there wasn't room for the egos of both Asmodeus and Iruen Verdari in Maratrina during his reign. He came to power in 811 and quickly energized Maratrinas military. he conscripted heavily and raised taxes to an insane degree. His eventual plan was to conquer Darkwater and Freeport to settle old family scores but when he announced his plans to the royal court, he was apparently killed along with most of the city's elite in The Tyrants Fire.

In truth, Verdari managed to escape the fire but was in a coma for 30 days. By the time he awoke, Rala Ashebourne had seized power in Maratrina and he had no chance to reclaim his throne. He vanishes from history until 865 when he appears on the records of a trade ship from The Isle of Priests to Westport. At this point, he had achieved a powerful vampirism and reinvented himself as "The Lord". How he did this is unclear but, as revealed later, he would go on to take up residence on the island of Fools Respite and turn the Tiefling Ophelia in 888. He would become Ophelias consort and serve as one of her five generals in the vampire rebellion of 899, ruling over the town of Arcton and eventually massacring its entire population.

His doom would ultimately arrive on the island of Voltani's Point during the vampire rebellion. He was challenged to a duel by the Archmage Sabylla Redmond of Westport. The duel went sour and he was killed in the ensuing skirmish by General Dalla "Dayhand" Ovethigano.
