* Background / Personal history: A historical Paladin who broke his oath of protection and decided to instead conquer the world through sheer might. Assembled a loyal core of followers who called themselves The Crimson Lament and began ravaging the nations. Only when the combined efforts of many tribes and factions banded together to face their common enemy was he defeated. Forfeiting his soul, he became a Death Knight whose loyal followers work to summon again using a lengthy and complex ritual. The practice usually takes approximately 500 years but can be done sooner as was perfectly documented in The Archives of the Damned. With this knowledge lost, they attempted to summon Thalkor again but misjudged the sensitivity to the material components of the ritual. As a result, the fifth and latest successful summoning brought him back as a pleasure seeking brat as opposed to the bloodthirsty conqueror he usually is. 
Adventures:
* Mentioned briefly in Dreams Unlimited, Ltd. as a temple formerly known as The Archives of the Damned which was dedicated to Thalkor was being repurposed by Dreams Unlimited, Ltd. as a headquarters for their nefarious schemes. 
* Birthday Lament - We see Thalkor summoned/resurrected in this episode, but due to a misreading of the ritual needed to bring him forth, he appears as a decadent and pleasure-seeking being rather than a ruthless warrior as he was in so many iterations previous. He is undermined by the Firebreathing Kittens at the behest of Barnabas Hendrickson and his soul is temporarily banished once more from the mortal plane. He awaits his return but doing so will be even more difficult after the loss of the Orb of Fate; the ancient and mystical artifact that made those who swore allegiance to him bound to every command of his.
