Malinhar

Malinhar is a powerful lich wizard and Duke of Hell, who lives in the city of Zejhel. He is the universe's greatest known chess player, having become obsessed with the game when he was 12. The only known mortals to have ascended his famous tower are the Blood Red Revenants.

As a human, he was able to use his great cunning to climb to the top of the infernal hierarchy. After becoming a lich, he became bored at his infernal superiority, wishing for a greater challenge.

He was killed by the Overseer in November 3054, however, his phylactery was not destroyed, in an ironic oversight on the Overseer's part.
