Drexl the Bloodthirsty

According to legend, Drexl the Lich, also known as Drexl the Bloodthirsty, was from "another dimension" and fought for Malkis during the War of Creation. He had the indestructible Amulet of Malkis artefact. The feats of Drexl are unknown, but he was able to cause lava to flow at his will. Legend says he helped annihilate the Winter Gods. One of Malkis' only mortal companions during the War of Creation. After the war of creation, Drexl settled down in the Prime Material Plane.
The Books of Wizardry list contains a book called "Drexl’s Darkest Deeds". The contents of the book are unknown.
Presumably, Drexl was the first lich in creation. The cost of this was his soul. The motivations of the person he was before lichdom have shifted. A certain amount of Drexl's essence and control have been given to another person (or deity) when he became a lich. Drexl gained near unlimited power, but he was a servant, unaware of his servitude.

===Legend of Keldin===
According to the The Legend of Keldin, Clerics of Malkis and found a woman named Arkara and recruited her for her great potential. Arkara was trained by clerics and sorcerers to become powerful herself. Soon Arkara forgot her family and children, and only thought for more power. Arkara eventfully became the guardian of Drexl's Phylactery. However Arkara gave up Drexl's Phylactery to her son, the hero Keldin, at the cost of her own life.
The legend holds that Drexl the Bloodthirsty was defeated by Keldin. Drexl was causing lava to flow towards a major city. Keldin starts to direct the lava away from the city, causing Drexl to confront Keldin, unaware that Keldin had his Phylactery. In the struggle Drexl is forced into the lava flow. Drexl falls in laughing, thinking that he'll just resurrect again and come back. Keldin tosses in the Phylactery and Drexl dies.
The Amulet of Malkis however was indestructible, so it was hidden in Shadow Plane so it wouldn't be used again.
