History
The first time Algashon met Sammaster was near Baldur's Gate in 865 DR and soon the two become friend traveling together for many years; in truth Algashon considered Sammaster a perfect choice for a would-to-be-tyrant and his faith in Bane ordered him to support the ascent of tyrants. Algashon soon started to convince Sammaster to embrace evil and was he that incited Sammaster to attack his former love Alustriel, with the hope of steal the Alustriel's Silver fire, in 875 DR. He failed in his plot but Sammaster, after Algashon saved his life after the battle, fully embraced evil. Soon Sammaster come with the idea of the Dracolich and the born of the Cult of the Dragon and Algashon always supported him. A first motive of divergence was about the notoriety of the cult, Algashon wanted a system of secret cells, however Sammaster preferred to act openly. Soon Algashon become tired of Sammaster and when in 916 DR his spies tell that Harpers prepared an ambush to Sammaster Algashon decided to avoid the confront; so Sammaster was supposedly killed and Algashon become the leader of the cult, starting also the custom of the Purple dress for cult's leaders. in 972 DR however dissidents within the Cult beginned to openly question Algashons leadership and the weighty influence the church of Bane has had in Cult operations in the preceding years. Algashon' downfall started when the dissident mage Tuelhalva Drakewings in Peleveria allied with Gargauth and with the devil's help conquered the city; soon most of the Cult's dissidents gathered in Peleveria stopping to obeyed to Algashon; so Algashon gathered all his forces to destroy Drakewing and his followers; in the battle however Algashon and Drakewing killed each others.
