Miltiades

Miltiades, although not specifically referred to as a death knight, is a skeletal undead paladin. Militadies grew up in the city of Turell. He was it's steward and champion. Due to his service, he was given the Holy Shield of Tyr, a magical war helm, and a runic sword of Tyr. For 50 years he faithfully guarded the city, until the battlemage Zarl attacked. Turell was besieged for 1 year, during which he personally slew many of Zarl greatest warriors. Zarl never challenged Militadies, so Militadies snuck into Zarl's camp one night and murdered him dishonorably. Miltiadies was then slain by all of Zarls men, and Turell was sacked and destroyed without it's protector. Tyr refused to allow Militadies to die and rest in honor, leaving his spirit to wander. 1,000 years later, Tyr tasked the half-dead Militadies to find the lost city of Phaln, which had been captured by Bane's minions, the red wizard Marcus and the pit fiend Tantal. Upon his resurrection, Militadies met Ren o' the Blade, Evaine and her familiar Gamaliel, and the druid cousins Androlson and Talenthia. Shortly after, Militadies slew the ghost of Zarl, but during the battle the Holy Shield of Tyr was destroyed. Militadies and his companions rescued Phlan, and Militadies entered a peaceful slumber.

A few years later Tyr once again raised Militadies to help the son of Shal and Tarl find and recover the Hammer of Tyr. At the end of the successful mission, a paladin of Tyr named Trooper gave his soul to his patron deity to restore Militdies to life. Militadies and Evaine has since stated a relationship, but their prior duties have put it on hold.
