Malakuth Tabuirr Malakuth Tabuirr was one of the leaders of the Iron Ring as well as the leader of the Dark Dagger cell in Skullport in 1370 DR . History . Malakuth was originally a caravan leader and first born of a merchant house in Karsoluthiyl . His house supported House Thanor ’ Thal in a house war but was betrayed and destroyed by it after the noble house was victorious . All of his family members were executed and he survived due to him being away from the city on caravanning duties in Skullport . After being disenfranchised , he settled in Skullport and named himself Tabuirr . At some point after his exile , he took up the faith of Vhaeraun and became affiliated with the Dark Dagger cell in Skullport . After the cell ’ s near destruction in the wake of the Darkstalker Wars in 1359 DR , he became the leader of the cell and successfully reestablished it as a major power , especially in the field of smuggling . He also became a leading member of the Iron Ring , a slaver ring for mutual protection . During this time , he undermined the House Thanor ’ Thal ’ s economic activities and power through raiding their caravans because prolonged long - term conflicts were prohibited by the Skulls of Skullport and managed to leave his enemies in the dark about their attackers ’ identities . Personality . Malakuth ’ s defining trait was his hatred for female drow . He hated them for their belief that their ambition gave them the right to trample on other people ( e . g . males ) , for their lack of perspective for anything other than immediate ambitions and for their inability to work , even with each other , for a common goal , in short he hated them for their fanaticism that allowed a goddesses ’ will to be the determining factor in their lives . He hated House Thanor ’ Thal for their old betrayal . But he had his hatred under control . He understood that open battle against the house would attract the Skulls attention and punishment , so he reined his hatred in and ordered his people to kill and steal from the house while remaining undetected . On business level , Malakuth was considered an expert with leadership qualities in his business fields that included trading and mercenary work but also smuggling and slavery . He was capable of thinking , executing and managing complex plans and had an understanding for details as well as for opportunities and the readiness to act on these . He was quite a religious follower of Vhaeraun and funded a temple in his own mansion and came to lead an increasing number of vhaeraunnite priests . His religiousness showed itself in a lack of submissiveness towards Lolth and her clergy . The one personal rule he didn ’ t violate no matter what was to endanger his friend Amryyr Yauntyrr . They shared a friendship since Malakuth ’ s caravanning time and lived together in his mansion . It was hard for outsiders to understand their conversation because they used many insider jokes and references . Relationships . In the smuggling business , he shared the position of the most influential smuggler with Misker the Pirate Tyrant . It wasn ’ t known whether the drow and the beholder shared an enmity that led to bloodshed . Malakuth had a good relationship with Lord Byron Trilluach , one of the three biggest shareholders in the mercenary market , but had bad relationships with the other two of the big three , Dalagor the Dark and Rhaunaguth , though these relationship weren ’ t so bad as to cause conflicts as long as they kept out of each others ’ interests . His relationship with his fellow leaders in the Iron Ring was businesslike as far as this word can be applied to a criminal ring . He supported the other Lords of Iron with additional man power but also was in competition with them over market shares , while they despised each other it ’ s not clear whether their fight included killing their allies ’ members . He saw House Thanor ’ Thal as his enemy and had a strained relationship with its representatives . He hid this enmity well enough and ordered his people to attack them in secret but damaging fashion . Malakuth shared a deep friendship with Amryyr Yauntyrr since Malakuth ’ s caravanning time and they lived together in his mansion . It was hard for outsiders to understand their conversation because they used many insider jokes and references . Fortune . Malakuth was rich . He had steady income that allowed him to rebuild his four story mansion , so that it pleased drow eyes and on a practical level allowed him to provide magical armor for all warriors as well as magical items to all spellcasters under his employment . Abilities . Malakuth ’ s fighting stye of choice was to fight with a pair of magical rapiers . He supplemented his fighting prowess with poison and a number of magic items as well as capabilities in other weapons .
