A master of rays and illusions, his greatest strength -- and weakness -- was the time and energy he spent tormenting and decieving mortals. Ever the cunning tricker, he lured a group of people he tricked into destroying Sharn, the City of Towers, to Lammania, the Twilight Forest, one of Eberron's thirteen planes. There, surrounded by the ruins of the extraplanar capital of the rakshasa race, he faced the mortals whose lives he destroyed, and drew upon their hatred for his own ends. He died in that place, but such a powerful evil spirit, strengthed by the hate and pain of those that slew him, could not be destroyed so easily. He turned upon the karmic wheel for a time, and was reborn as Menijhad, a white-furred ak'chazaar rakshasa of near godlike power. He attempted to drain the severely-weakened Silver Flame after a powerful conflict, but was himself overcome when one of the mortals he faced called upon their lord and master, the Grand Sultan of All the Efreet, Potentate Incandescent, lord of the plane of Fernia. As part of the payment for the mortal's servitude, the Sultan imprisoned the near-rajah within the burning confines of the Obsidian Fortress within the City of Brass. Once a consummate torturer of mortals, Menijhad, once Rhafsjani, exists forever in eternal torment both spiritual and physical, due to the actions of a mortal. - - -Maledon, called the Bloodlord, was an ogre of impressive parentage. His mother, who displayed a level of cunning unheard of in an ogre, challenged a pit fiend of the Wastes to a game of chance. If she won, the son in her womb would be touched by the power of Khyber and gain powers undreamt of by man and ogre alike. Whether due to a twist of fate, her innate cunning, or perhaps the meddling of the Traveler, the devil lost. Smiling, the creature granted the ogre her wish. The ogress screamed and spasmed, and the baby chewed its way out of its dying mother, ignorant of her fate. As the pit fiend gazed at the tiny ogre, it noticed dark, almost scaly skin, tiny, membranous wings, but the feature that caused the mighty baatezu to crack a smile was the way the small creature eagerly licked the blood and gore from its lips. The pit fiend left soon after, leaving the small ogre to fend for itself. Maledon would resurface later, in the Lhazaar Principalities. Trained in the dark ways of the Blood of Vol -- some say by the half-breed lich herself -- Maledon became a force in his own right. When serving the will of Vol, he often commanded Emerald Claw troops into battle; it was his succesful use of these troops that enabled him to remove the previous occupants of an obscure lighthouse fortress built into a small rocky isle in the Principalities.Unfortunately for Maledon, he met his end atop the fortress, protecting the exit of a powerful blue dragon seeking asylum with Vol from the Argonessen. Though his massive blood-draining falchion Ravager struck true against many of his foes, and though his deadly Red Gloves of Blood enabled him to drain the lifeforce from his critically wounded enemies, Maledon was overwhelmed, and plummeted to a cold watery death after being overcome by sheer numbers.However, a sorcerous curse placed upon the mighty half-fiend ogre would cause him to become a threat yet again...</blockquote>
