Khazandar

A Bracadian researcher, Khazandar was considered a renegade by many wizards, despite a lack of an official statement from Gavin Magnus (as seen in the World on Fire). However, due to the importance and brilliance of his research, he was left alone by the Council of Bracada. He later became a smith and was the one to forge the Armageddon's Blade after Xeron delivered to him the necessary components (Shield of the Damned, Sword of Hellfire and the Breastplate of Brimstone) in the Armageddon's Blade campaign. Following Xeron's loss of the Armageddon's Blade (and Gelu obtaining the latter), presumably as an act of revenge, he was crucified and humiliated, his body left to rot on a cross.
