Aramil of the Western Isles

Aramil of the Western Isles was one of the greatest archers in the land, and once a key member of the Bismarck Frontier Force; he helped the party fight against the Lords of Dust and to stop Father Llymic. However with this success he became arrogant and on one adventure was killed and raised as a vampire. Since then he has served Lord Malakai, and then Kyuss. He was eventually killed in a climatic battle by Sparrow Treekeeper atop the Tower of Khin-Oin on the Grey Wastes of Hades. 
== History ==
Aramil came from humble beginnings in the town of Ashcombe; the son of elven immigrants he worked as a farmhand before enlisting to fight for House Oren; he quickly rose through the ranks as a scout for his company but eventually tired of that life - wishing for greater fame and glory. 
He later became a mercenary and after several months came across the group, The Bismarck Frontier Force, seeing that his skills could be put to use here, he gladly joined up. 
In the year that followed he helped the Bismarck Frontier Force with many heroic feats - slaying the red dragon, Dragotha, ending the threat of the lich, Saracen, and finally stopping the Duristanan the Wyrmbreaker and Father Llymic. 
When the Bismarck Frontier Force retired to pursue life as heads of the underground city, Aramil decided to carry on the adventuring life. Setting up his own guild entitled the Sons of Heironeous. He enjoyed a life of success and fine living until the company was sent to investigate the long abandoned château of Count Strahd von Zarovich in the area known locally as No-Man’s Land. It turned out that the castle wasn’t as abandoned as previously thought and cost Aramil his life as well as that of his company. 
Aramil however did not die; he awoke as a vampire under the control of Strahd. After years of servitude to his cruel master he was released from his service to find his own place in the world of undeath. He travelled Awbor until he encountered the deathknight Zhlatan who convinced him to work with Lord Malakai. Realizing that Malakai was his old friend from the days of the Bismarck Frontier Force, he gladly accepted the offer.
To show his worth he converted the deceased Tardigrade III into a vampire thrall in his service. However when Malakai abandoned his quest to conquer Awbor, Aramil abandoned his friend to seek victory alongside the forces of the Worm that Walks. Aramil's name and influence were crucial in allying the factions of Hollowheart under the banner of Kyuss; which he led to battle in the Battle of Awbor. 
Aramil defeated many of the defenders of Caldor during the final siege but - after following Kyuss and Edwin Tolstoff to the Grey Wastes of Hades, was finally vanquished by Sparrow in the throne room of the Tower of Kin-Oin. Category:Characters
