D&D 5E Evil Bards in Faerun's History

[Doctorbatman]

Gonna be playing Strahd as a bard pretty soon. With this knowledge, I've got a couple ideas for the coming adventure in my back pocket. One requires some knowledge I can't find so easily so I'm hoping one of you might know.

Have there been any evil bards or overlords of the dead that could be considered semi-bardic? How about bardic heralds of some bigger scarier demon? I have plans, but I need this info to make it work.

Sorry if this posted twice. Forum screwed up on me first time posting it.

Any takers?

Brindlor Zidorion from Windwalker in the Starlight and Shadows trilogy might be what you are seeking. Brindlor was a Drow deathsinger. Halisstra Melarn from War of the Spider Queen might be worth a look too. Halisstra was a Drow villain like Brindlor but also a worshipper of Lolth.
