Ranloo the Death Knight
Basic Information:
	Class:	Death Knight
	Gender:	Male
	Race:	Vampire
Following a childhood dream, Ranloo became an aide at Mestley's armory. Ancient master's gift was no lore, rather a bite to the neck and a pit in the Talon woods. Undeath wasn't fun, but Ranloo's hands got as crafty as ever. Soon he was wearing Mestley's Master Blacksmith diadem after running him through with a missile from a self-designed ballista.

Ranloo is apparently a reference to the Necromancer town of Heroes II, where there is a similar-looking namesake hero.
