Nithrekel learned of his masters increased dementia first hand when he and Brogon were giving a simple report on their last patrol. Nithrekel recanted the details of their patrol stating that after two days of patrolling they had found none of Sheveker’s troops in the area and had returned on the morning of the third day. After Nithrekel had completed his report Hazergal had flown into a paranoid rage, accusing Nithrekel of not patrolling long enough for he was sure Sheveker’s troops were out there waiting to attack. Hazergal had snatched the mithral scourge from his belt and had started towards Nithrekel who familiar with his master’s rages calmly awaited his punishment. Unfortunately Brogon, Nithrekel’s loyal hobgoblin aide and friend, was not. Brogon stepped in front of Nithrekel as the crazed wizard approached and drew his weapon to defend his longtime friend. Outraged that one of his servants would dare attempt to thwart him, Hazergal stepped back and smote Brogon with a terrible spell. Nithrekel watched in horror as his friend and confidant was struck by a thin ray of light from Hazergal’s outstretched hand and obliterated completely in a flash of eerie green light. All that remained of Nithrekel’s companion was a small pile of fine gray ash, even his armor and weapons had been consumed by Hazergal’s spell. Cold rage gripped Nithrekel at the senseless death of his friend and he ripped his sword from its scabbard and charged Hazergal his mind filled with bloodlust and fury. Nithrekel made it within 10 feet of Hazergal before his mind exploded into jagged shards of absolute pain, dropping him in a heap to the stone tiles of Hazergal’s audience chamber. Hazergal moved to stand over the stricken mephit smiling smugly and watched with obvious enjoyment as Nithrekel writhed upon the ground in helpless agony. The pain was far too much for Nithrekel to bear and he quickly slipped in to the welcoming darkness of unconsciousness.Nithrekel awoke in a place even more terrible than the one he had left. He lay on his back, blindfolded, on what felt like a metal table with heavy iron manacles preventing any movement securing his arms and legs. The room stank of blood and pain and Nithrekel knew instantly that he was in Hazergal’s torture room and would likely die horribly after suffering all manner of fiendish atrocities. Before he could fully realized the dire nature of his situation he heard Hazergal’s voice directing a servant to check Nithrekel's bonds. Nithrekel felt the manacles on his wrists and ankles tighten and then Hazergal began to speak.Hazergal told Nithrekel that he would not kill him, for Nithrekel was far too useful to cast away so carelessly, but he would not tolerate a rebellious servant. Hazergal informed Nithrekel that he would suffer for two days in the torture room under Hazergal’s own hand. This would be the last time any leniency would be shown the mephit, the next time he dared to challenge his master he would be tortured and then slain. The pain began immediately and Nithrekel’s screams filled the tower as promised for the next two days. Through his pain Nithrekel held onto his sanity by clinging to the one thing that still mattered to him. He clung to his hatred and promised himself, that even if it cost him his life Hazergal would die by his hand.Nithrekel recovered quickly form his ordeal in the torture room and took command of Hazergal’s legion once more. He promoted the ogre fighter, Murg, to 1st captain and the ogre served him well in the years that followed. Sheveker remained a constant threat but Nithrekel continued to defeat his master’s rival in battle after battle. Nithrekel has come to the conclusion that his only chance of taking his revenge on Hazergal would be when his planar contract expired and he was no longer under the mad wizard’s direct control. On that day there would be a reckoning and Nithrekel would claim vengeance for Brogon and himself or die in the attempt.</blockquote>
