History
After spending many years attmpting to extend his lifespan through the aid of Wish spells and other powerful magics his body was eventually wracked with age. Arklem had spent much of that long life seeking the secrets of Faerûn's powerful magic. Plumbing the depths of far-flung lands such as Mulhorand, Thay, Zakhara and even Kara-Tur he eventually came to believe that one with such vast knowledge and power was destined to rule.

After an attempted coup on his position in 1371 DR by the talanted Edulac and Valkebar, killing Arklem's top lieutenant Queltar Thaeloon in the process, Arklem fled the Host Tower. During this period Nephthys the Erinyes visited him and offered him the secrets of Lichdom in exchange for the Arcane Brotherhoods conquest of the fledgling Silver Marches. A deal which Arklem gladly agreed to. Following his transformation, a devastating coup of the Host tower began with the help of his new devilish allies began, setting Arklem back up as the undisputed master of the Arcane Botherhood and Luskan itself.

In 1376 DR Arklem was beaten in combat by Robillard, the battle-mage of Sea Sprite. He was not destroyed and retreated to the graveyards of Luskan, aided by mysterious allies.
