Banak

Banak was once the top ranked evil priest in all the Bloodstone Lands.

Description
Banak was one of the top three commanders in the Citadel of Assassins alongside the Grandfather of Assassins and the archmage Knellict. His specialty was the domain of the undead. The evil priest would cast animate dead on whatever corpses he could acquire, and often his used powerful staff to create new corpses.

Possessions
The evil cleric possessed the staff of the adder.

History
Banak was an exceptionally powerful cleric that roamed Vaasa. Gareth Dragonsbane and his party banished his demon patron, Orcus, from Faerûn, which caused Banak to lose much of his power.

Since the fall of Orcus, Banak could only cast spells of intermediate power at most. Even so, Banak was experienced enough to remain a great threat to goodly folk of Vaasa and Damara.
