Ghost King

=Creation= As a result of the Spellplague, the red dragon Hephaestus, the illithid Yharaskrik, and the Crystal Shard formed the Ghost King. Borne of the failing Weave, Hephaestus's fearsome dragon body was turned into a dracolich and the illithid and shard became part of the undead beast's consciousness. Additionally, the seven liches that created Crenshinibon were also morphed and introduced to the Ghost King's awesome power. The Ghost King swore revenge on those who had destroyed the original three - Cadderly Bonaduce, Jarlaxle Baenre, and Drizzt Do'Urden among them.

Abilities
The Ghost King has exhibited the power, due in part to the Spellplague, to raise minions, such as nightwalkers and nightwings, from the Shadow Plane. Hephaestus was once a red dragon, and as such he still holds the ability to breathe fire as the Ghost King. Being a dracolich, the Ghost King is immensely large and very powerful, being resistant to average attacks from blade and wand alike. Its influence to reach victims is extremely effective, again due to the Spellplague-able to reach Jarlaxle from many miles away, despite the mercenaries' efforts to block such intrusions.
