Some say it was the power of the mandrake staff, while others claim it was contact with a dark force he discovered while walking the planes of creation. For whatever reason, 800 years ago, or so the legend says, Jhedophar wrought a great ritual within the summoning chamber of his tower and made contact with a being of pure evil whose will and mind were greater than his own. There, Jhedophar was granted immortality in undeath by the might of this unspeakable power. Jhedophar signed and sealed the pact with the blood of his very own apprentices. All of this changed when Jhedophar dreamed of a beautiful temptress offering him immortality. He pored over his many eldritch tomes and finally sought out eternal life in undeath when he felt age creep into his bones.
