Nalfein Do'Urden

Nalfein Do'Urden was the elderboy and house wizard of House Do'Urden of Menzoberranzan until his death.

History
Nalfein studied wizardry at Sorcere, the drow academy for wizards in Menzoberranzan.

In 1297 DR, Nalfein participated in House Do'Urden's attack on House DeVir. During the battle, Dinin Do'Urden, the secondboy of House Do'Urden, distracted Nalfein and put a sword in his back. Maya Do'Urden, melded to Nalfein, sensed his death and announced it, thus sparing newborn Drizzt's life from being sacrificed to Lolth as the third living son.

Relationships
Nalfein was the elder brother of Dinin and Drizzt Do'Urden. Nalfein was the long-time enemy of Ozomar Do'Urden (formerly of House Druu'giir), who defected from his house and became the house wizard of House Do'Urden after Nalfein's death.
