Lord Malak of Dol Eragos

Lord Malak of Dol Eragos a dread Vampire flies upon his Hellsteed, his alliance with Mhorgoth born of some unspeakable pact.
== About ==
For over four centuries Lord Malak has ruled the Shadowlands from the dark fortress of Dol Eragos, high in the Knifepeak Mountains in the Young Kingdoms. A tall and imposing warrior with eyes as fi erce as a savage wolf, Lord Malak is a warrior beyond compare. Preternaturally fast, quicker even than the Elves of the forest, and with the strength of ten men, Malak has never been bested in single combat. Riding his savage winged hellsteed Malice, he leads his armies of Undeath down from his mountain fastness in terrible rampages, leaving nothing living in his wake.
Once, Dol Eragos was renowned for the fairness of its rule, yet under Lord Malak it has become synonymous with savagery, depravity and evil. Warriors long dead man the battlements, and thousands of bodies impaled on spikes line the approach to its drawbridge. Bloodcurdling screams can be heard echoing from the castle in the dead of night, and those who are dragged there by the dark knights of Dol Eragos are never seen again.
In his youth, Malak was sent eastward by his father at the head of a large crusade of knights to restore order to the hinterlands beyond the Rhovan Forest. Heavily outnumbered and facing ever increasing rebellion,
Malak nevertheless conducted a masterly campaign, piling on the victories as the years passed. Malak’s father, however, grew disturbed by rumours of his son’s increasing savagery, culminating in the execution of over twelve thousand men, women and children in one terrible night of blood. It was said that Malak led the slaughter, roaring like a beast as raced through the streets, drenched from head to toe in blood. Malak’s father called him home in consternation, hoping the rumours were exaggerated. What he discovered, however, was that Malak was no longer the son that he knew.
At some point in his time in the east, Malak had been embraced into darkness, becoming a creature of the night; a blood-sucking Vampire. Upon his return home to Dol Eragos, his father was horrified at what he had become. Malak drained the blood from his own father and threw his corpse from the battlements, before slaughtering all of his father’s personal guard.
None of them could match his swordsmanship, and his strength was far beyond that of any man. Within the hour, he had killed over three hundred men. He was now the castellan of Dol Eragos, and a new dawn of terror had begun.
