Arkhan

Arkhan the Cruel was a dragonborn paladin of Tiamat who lived in the late 15 century DR.

Possessions
In battle, Arkhan carried the magical axe Fane-Eater and carried a dragonscale shield. He also owned the Wreath of the Prism, an amulet that granted him control over a vicious manticore called Chango.

History
After a brief visit to the world of Exandria, Arkhan replaced his left hand by a legendary artifact known as the Hand of Vecna, with the intention of using its power to free Tiamat from her prison in Avernus.

By the, Arkhan, having taken residence in a tower located near a monument dedicated to Tiamat in Avernus, had yet to succeed in his endeavor. Prolonged possession of the Hand of Vecna was slowly causing his left side to wither away, a process that could only be slowed down by sacrificing the life of good creatures.

Background
Arkhan is based on a character in the streamed campaign Force Grey. He is played by Joe Manganiello, an American actor who is a lifelong D&D enthusiast.
