"Necromancers attacked Lysander's family when he was a child, killing his parents and separating him from his siblings. He was wounded during the attack, and paralyzed for several years. A childhood of impotence has driven this young man to perform great deeds that have culminated in his founding of the Kingdom of Palaedra." — Biography

Lost Lore 

Lysander was one of the first leaders to have success against Kilgor, driving him out of Avauntnell and Minewell. Lysander continued the fight against Kilgor into Tatalia, but was unsuccessful in driving him out. Due to Ravenwood's help, he escaped The Reckoning to Axeoth.

Trivia

The writer of Heroes of Might and Magic IV, Terry Ray, mentioned in his notes that Lysander, Waerjak and Gauldoth Half-Dead are brothers and illegitimate sons whom Nicolas Gryphonheart had by a woman named Idune. This never made it into the release version, the game only directly confirming that Lysander is a Gryphonheart. However, it doesn't exactly contradict anything, either.
