Iycanth

Iycanth, also known as Iycanth the Mad, was a crazed wizard working for the Bhaalspawn Abazigal.

Powers
Despite his insanity, he could cast the most difficult wizard spells.

Possessions
Iycanth owned a scroll of reversal, needed to access Abazigal's lair.

History
Iycanth was the most favored wizard and servant of Abazigal. He conducted several experiments on orb creatures, which resembled eyeballs. The wizard planned on using these creations to develop an army for Abazigal.

One day, he captured a gauth beholder, who took an interest in his eyes. Iycanth tried to harvest its eye, but it jumped into a pool to the east of his base, and disappeared. Upon finding Gorion's Ward in his lab, he may have requested the ward's party to sub-contract three novice adventurers—Bondari, Nanoc, and Tim Goldenhand—to acquire the gauth's eye stalk.
