Mennek Ariz

Mennek Ariz was a traitorous Red Wizard of Thay in Daggerford in 1486 DR.

Personality
Mennek, as an enchanter, greatly despised the preeminence of the Necromancers over his land and secretly aligned with rebels who sought to overthrow Szass Tam and the necromancers from control of Thay.

History
Mennek was an Enchanter in his home of Thay and secretly a member of the rebels known as the Thayan Resurrection. He volunteered for a mission in Daggerford. Here Mennek tried to find an opportunity to turn his situation around and this opportunity arrived with a Pit fiend named Baazka. Baazka tried to possess him but failed. Mennek sensed the event and made a bargain with the pit fiend. He grown in prominence around his fellows in Bloodgate using Baazka's knowledge. He helped adventurers sent by sir Isteval to ruin some red wizard plots in Daggerford in 1485 DR. In early 1486 he was captured by the Daggerford's militiamen thanks to information from Baazka through Shalendra Floshin. Mennek knew the Pit fiend's plot and agreed. The intention of him and his fellow rebels was to destroy Bloodgate Keep in order to show the weakness of red wizard necromancers.
