Marek Rymüt

Marek Rymüt was a Thayan Red Wizard who operated in Innarlith in the 14th century DR.

Early Life
Marek was raised in a wealthy household in Thay and recruited into the Red Wizards while he was young. He learned to be a mage and excelled in Enchantment magic.

While still in Thay, he was sent on a mission with other red wizards to confront a tribe of Lizardmen in Thay territory who had failed to pay their taxes to Thay. Marek and his comrades battled the lizardmen in a swamp and were eventually confronted with the leader of the tribe, who was a Black dragon wyrm named Insithryllax. Insithryllax killed Marek's companions before he used a Charm monster spell to successfully charm the dragon.

He kept Insithryllax with him for many years. Eventually the charm spell wore off, but the two became friends without the use of magic and Insithryllax accompanied Marek for decades.

Innarlith
Marek was sent by the Red Wizards to act as an agent on their behalf to Innarlith, a city on the Lake of Steam. Insithryllax and his niece Helena both came to Innarlith with him.

In Innarlith he posed as a self-employed mage that sold magical items to clients in Innarlith, while hiding his allegiance to the Red Wizards. He developed connections with the city's elite, through which he gained information and secrets.

His niece Helena developed a romantic affair with Willem Korvan, a chief servant of the city's master builder who supplied her with information about the city's important building projects.

He helped foment social unrest among the poor of the fourth quarter of Innarlith. On occasion he also secretly murdered rival mages and created destruction for people who refused to become his clients.

He developed a project to breed the mutant offspring of Insithryllax and female Fire Drakes, which he called 'black fire drakes' in order to gift them to others to win influence with them. He started a nursery to breed and raise them underneath the city of Innarlith, but he ran into troubles when he found difficulty with getting enough food to feed them. Some of the black fire drakes found a way to escape from the nursery to the surface where they made destruction through the city before being either killed by the city guard or subtly teleported back to the nursery by Marek.

Marek afterwards hatched a plan whereby he carved out a small piece of Fury's Heart to form a new pocket dimension he called the Land of One Hundred and Thirteen, because of the number of days it took to pacify it. He made this pocket dimension into a new nursery for the black fire drakes.
