Ogonjok

The "undying" also known as the Count of Alzira. A necromancer who went to great lengths in order to make himself immortal. Many considered him the most powerful wizard in all of Bandagora. Despite all precautions, Hippoleia managed to put an end to his existence by destroying his phylactery in 1109. For centuries he surrounded himself with zombies and worse in his Tower of the Dead. He was believed to command the dreaded death knights. All wizards wishing to specialize in necromancy must join the Black Ring founded by Ogonjok, now currently ruled by Maubar. Ogonjok was originally educated on Kartria, when he was known as Kristeyn Ort, but later became a renegade. His infamy reached record levels when he completed a powerful ritual that made him able to hear his name being spoken anywhere, a power he sometimes used to prove a point. For that reason he was often simply called "O". Though most agree that he will never return, many still prefer not to say his name out loud.
