Hazergal commands a vast army of humanoids and other foul creatures from his black iron tower in the barren wastes of Vaasa. Most of Hazergal's considerable resources are used in battling his rival, a half-fiend sorcerer named Sheveker who also make his home in Vaasa and commands a similar force of humanoids and monsters. The two spellcaster’s minions clash almost daily and have fought each other to a standstill. Hazergal is looking for any edge in his decades long conflict with Sheveker and his hope was to summon a powerful demon to tip the scales. Nithrekel was the result of that failed summoning and bound to Hazergal as he is, Nithrekel has no choice but to obey his masters orders. Nithrekel quickly learned just how far down the totem pole he really was when his weapons and armor were stripped from him and he was relegated to the mundane task of cleaning the huge tower that was Hazergal’s home. Hazergal had many servants who bullied the small mephit unmercifully, but unarmed and in a strange place Nithrekel held his temper and endured the harsh treatment silently. Of all Nithrekel’s tormentors there was only one that he truly feared, the commander of Hazergal’s forces, a huge battle scarred minotaur barbarian named Bathet Nar. Bathet Nar was prone to fits of rage that usually ended with the appearance of a number of dismembered corpses of whoever happened to be around at the time. Nithrekel avoided Bathet Nar at all costs, but made sure to be very submissive and toadying when the huge minotaur was unavoidable.Nithrekel rarely saw his master, as the mighty wizard spent most of his time at the top of the tower in his laboratory engaged in arcane research. This suited Nithrekel just fine, for his master was truly a wicked man who delighted in the suffering of others. One of Nithrekel’s many tasks was to clean the torture room and it was here that he learned the true depths of Hazergal’s evil. The torture room was always stocked with victims to be used at Hazergal’s leisure; these victims included all manner of creatures from dumb beasts to humans and other sentient beings. It seemed that Hazergal was obsessed with causing pain and the screams that echoed throughout the tower during his lengthy torture sessions made even the most despicable gnoll or orc shudder and mumble a prayer to his savage deity. The mess that was left after one of Hazergal’s sessions was Nithrekel’s job to clean up and he found himself sickened at the carnage that his master took obvious pleasure in. Nithrekel can hardly imagine fifty years of drudgery and abuse under Hazergal’s rule. He is truly miserable, not permitted to leave the tower he is allowed to rest in one of the unused privies when not performing his duties. Nithrekel is given nothing but ordinary granite or shale to eat and he longs for the taste of some good obsidian or at least a bit of marble. Nithrekel is nothing if not a survivor and he plans to make the best of his situation and avoid confrontation with his master or his many powerful servants.</blockquote>
