Zarekos

Zarekos is the vampire Keeper, who came out on top after Mukrezar's demise. He is bald and wears a black cloak with red trimmings. His favoured monsters are various forms of undead, mostly ghosts and Vampires. His Dark Gods affiliation is Crowned Death.
At the time of his victory, the older-style Crystal Heart was the only type of Dungeon Heart in use. As a result, once the Avatar Islands were depleted of gold, Zarekos was unable to use his Dungeon Hearts to construct new rooms. However, he was able to retain control of his armies by dominating the vampires and collapsing the Underworld portals that would allow creatures to leave. He thus remained trapped on the islands, but with a firm hold on them due to his formidable vampire army.
During his time he tried to acquire godhood by having ghosts and all his minions pray to a supersized statue of him. At the time of Mercury's first invasion attempt, he had at least 72 vampire minions, as well as thousands, if not millions, of ghosts. It is unclear exactly what he was able to achieve through this prayer; however, he was successfully able to return to the temple as an unusually resilient ghost after his vampire body was permanently destroyed, a feat previously thought impossible. His ghost form was disrupted, however, by Marda's holy magic.
== Known Tactics ==
Zarekos has been observed to not have much in terms of tactics other than zerg-rushing very large numbers of ghosts, using their draining attacks, magic resistance, invisibility and large numbers to great effect. He will also support the ghosts by using the Earthquake spell to create additional entryways into the enemy dungeon.
If pressed, Zarekos will also deploy his Vampire followers as shock troops, using their vastly superior combat ability to overwhelm defenses.
Zarekos appears to use the same techniques for defenses, as seen in the temple.
== Known favourate powers and spells ==
*Earthquake.
Note: It is unknown if he has any other favoured spells, simply because spells are fueled by gold and he has so little of it.
*Vampire: He is a vampire, and possesses all vampiric strengths and weaknesses on top of his Keeper abilities.
*A form of paralysis against any being looking into his eyes.
