General Hash're

General Hash're was a general that once led the Meszadonian army, defending the city from attacks during the War of the Dark Ages attacks. His army was known for its strength, and he himself was known to be very strong as well as highly intelligent. During an undead siege, he would be attacked by one of his own, probably turned to Darkfallen who would permanently shatter his trust in others. Because of this surprise attack, Hash're would be unable to defend Mesza City or his army, and the city would be decimated, leaving all the blame to rest on him rather than the traitor. This would lead him to losing his title as head of the army, and being sent to an obscure island base.
The island he was sent to would become known after him, and Hash're's Island was not known for its hospitality. In the years Hash're spent there, he would slowly lose whatever sanity he had left and come to believe that he was still in the battle that had ruined him in Mesza City, and that everyone was a traitor out to destroy his island. In this time he would build a stronghold atop the highest peak in the area, with questionable architectural patterns, such as secret rooms and connected towers with no way to cross between rooms. He would also build underground passageways and a jail, though it is doubtful that it had any use on actual criminals. He treated his soldiers horribly, such as taking their hard earned armor, preventing them from leaving the island for any reason, and had a tendency to throw people in jail or torture them for no logical reason. He hated elves, halflings, his own race, and believed magic and greed to be just as dangerous.
Eventually after a long time of dealing with his abuses, scars, and trauma from battle, Hash're's soldiers would try to escape, getting boats and trying to kill their insane general. Unfortunately for them, Hash're was an extremely powerful fighter who had strength equal to the greatest heroes of Aurelia, and so a bunch of underequipped soldiers stood no chance against him and were all killed. Although at first Hash're saw the killing of his soldiers as a victory in defending the island, the general would slowly realize the truth. Once more he had failed to defend his people, and the fact that he himself was the one who had killed them would break him completely. In addition to this, the spirit of the original traitor that had years ago betrayed him had been following him and with it came the corruption to raise the masses of soldiers the general had killed.
What had once been his stronghold, was now his prison and he was unable to escape. He made a few vain attempts at calling the passing ships for help, but it was no use, eventually he ran out of food and starved to death. But this was not the end for the general, as he too was raised by the Darkfallen, and in the first moments of his revival, his mind was still 'intact'. Here he would make a vow to continue to fight the Darkfallen on the island.
