History
Lander was born in Sembia from a merchant father. His mother was a covert Zhentarim spy. Nobody knew Lander's mother's true allegiance until his teen days when his father became suspicious after his mother insisted to go with them to a merchant meeting in Archendale. So his father discovered the truth and warned Archendale about the Zhent plot. His mother managed to find Lander and offered him a place among the Zhents, but in response he killed the Zhent companions of the mother but not her. So the mother arranged the death of Lander's father. Later a Harper approached Lander informing him that his mother had died. Lander decided to join the Harpers and stop the Zhent's at any opportunity. In 1360 DR, Florin Falconhand send him to Anauroch to warn the Bedine of an imminent attack from the Zhents and Asabi. During this adventure he met and fell in love with the witch Ruha. However just after the final battle that destroyed the Zhent army, a bedine assassin killed Lander.
