Pereghost

The Pereghost was a commander of the Zhentarim fortress of Darkhold in the mid–14 century DR.
 He was named for how his armor made him appear as one of the undead.
==Possessions==
In battle, the Pereghost always wore his distinctive skull helm and chalk-white full plate armor, and wielded Determination, an intelligent +3 bastard sword. When leading Darkhold's army, he rode Sandusk, a heavy warhorse equipped with a magical winged harness.
==History==
The warrior appeared out of nowhere in 1356 DR, offering his services to the Black Network. He gave no name other than "The Pereghost" and refused to speak of his history. Within three years he was given command of the keep's entire army. He accomplished this by being ruthlessly efficient and not playing favorites. Darkhold's army was one of the few places in the Black Network where soldiers were promoted by merit, not by scheming or bribes. As such, the Pereghost was not just feared, but respected by the Zhentilar. In turn, the Pereghost was completely loyal to the Black Network.
In 1372 DR, Darkhold was a dictatorship with two masters: the Pereghost and Dhamir Ercals, the castle's high priest of Cyric. Both leaders despised one another and were actively plotting to assassinate their competition. The hatred between the two was so overwhelming that neither would consider an alliance of convenience, even though both knew that a bloody civil war between the worshipers of Cyric and Bane was inevitable.
Following a string of disasters that left both Zhentil Keep and the Citadel of the Raven destroyed, the Pereghost emerged as the most senior leader of the organization still standing. His strong leadership in this time of crisis was widely credited as the only reason the Zhentarim was able to survive and begin rebuilding its power and reputation, and as of 1489 DR, he appeared to still be in command of Darkhold, and as a result the wider Black Network.
