### First Undead Book

He was mentioned by the Border Guard members that he cowardly retreated.

### True Story

He initially appeared as under Genethas's orders alongside his strategist, Daric. He has his own forces in the area, alongside several battalions of Salrian Army pikemen. In The Bull and the Wolf, alongside Zoia Blackwolf and Blen Greymoore, they fought and defeated the Darkmind Clan, while Blen rescued Aedale at the hands of the Ironthunder Clan, and ravaged the Bloodhand Clan. He commanded his personal army to ravage the nearby Darkmind refugee camp, murdering all those inside, women and children included.

At the Imperial Frontline, he was at the side of Genethas in their feud with Gardon. He tried to sway Blen and Harmos to assist them in a mission, but failed. He and Genethas then eliminated the Order of the Bleeding camp, and killed Aaron the Sacrificing.

In Pride of the Empire, he tried to plead on the Imperial Regiments commanders to assist them in fighting Gardon, saying that his threat was greater than the Orcs. He was rebuffed by most of the generals, save Dorbric Berangar, who partially believed him. Selior Cleavehand rebuffed his request, then commands him to defend the area against the Orcs. He hesitatingly obeyed. Int the midst of the battle, he and his men abandoned position and goes to Genethas's base, to assist him. Zoia took over his former camp.

In Betrayal, he sided with Genethas and fought against Gardon. After the reveal that Genethas betrayed them all, he tried to kill his confidant, but the old man escaped. He was separated from the Imperial command, and fell back towards the Royal Army outpost in the border.

In there, he tried to win over the Royal Army soldiers there, but his strategies were all failures. In The Bootlicker, Renald commanded Gardon and Merlon Seabright to relieve his son-in-law. The duo murdered their Golden Guard escorts, then approached the base. He was killed Lerrig, then let Zed devour him.

His last letter was sent and read by Daric. His last commands was to eliminate the Orcs, which he put the charge upon the Daric's Mercenaries, also giving them their last payment.
