Manistock, Firelich, Undead Fireball, Mage, Lich: Manistock the sorcerer built an immense ship to use as a laboratory in space as he prepared to make the transfer to lichdom. He filled it with every spell component and magical device he could lay his hands on and powered it with a major helm made of solid diamond, which he purchased at great price. Unfortunately for Manistock, an error occurred during his transference. The lich-preparation spells he had cast inexplicably turned him into an undead fireball, which exploded in the phlogiston. The resulting energy created a "rip" in the phlogiston, ejecting the unfortunate mage into wildspace, where he has remained ever since
While spacefarers have from time to time heard reports of fireliches shrieking their agony as they race among the stars like wayward comets, Manistock's case is a bit different. This unspeakable fate did not befall him through his own mistake or ignorance, but was planned by an enemy. The merchant who sold Manistock his prized diamond helm was actually a powerful wizard, long a secret rival of Manistock's. He spoke a curse upon the wondrous helm, designed to pervert Manistock's attempt at lichdom and confine him (and the remains of his ship) within the wildspace "rip," a prison pocketed between dimensions.
The party can kill Manistock only through the destruction of the enchanted diamond helm that cursed him with the torturous unlife of a firelich.

Morgion Frost, Lesser Vampire: Sixty years ago, a young but undeniably talented and powerful mage named Morgion Frost gained a reputation as a vampire slayer. Convinced that he had eradicated the undead on his home world, Morgion sought other challenges—at the helm of a spelljamming vessel. His travels from sphere to sphere in search of undead to slay and magic to increase his power eventually attracted the attention of a vampire who swore to get Morgion before the mage got him. The vampire lured Morgion to his ship, trapped him, and made him into a lesser vampire.
