Pheldred

Pheldred was a Red Wizard of Thay in the mid-14 century.

Description
For a long time, his arms kept changing into manacles. He had dark hair and glittering black eyes.

Abilities
During his duel with Aumlar Chathoun, Pheldred cast a number of spells, including one which launched a shimmering sword, one which created an advancing strip of drifting silver sparks, apparently called deathwall, and another of his spells generated a spiraling silver energy that closed around its target, with unknown effects; the spiral was vulnerable to some wands. He used some manner of shieldings, which blocked numerous spells from wands, but worked ablatively, being slowly worn down by volume. Some of his shieldings could be made to expand and turn away magic. Another of his spells drank the power from spells around him and even wands, powering new spellblades with them.

Relationships
He sought revenge against Aumlar Chathoun, a Zhentarim mage. The mages Thavaun and Hulrivior of Triel counted him as their own. Korthauvar Hammantle and Hlael Toraunt were aware of him and his history.

Possessions
He wore two rings, dark maroon robes, and a richly made belt, in which he held two daggers and a whip.

History
Pheldred had been cursed at some point by Aumlar Chathoun, so that his arms kept changing into manacles. He spent some years with this handicap, until he was finally able to find the names by which he could command the fiend into which Aumlar Chathoun had bound the curse. The Zhentarim knew he'd managed to slip out of too many deadly situations unscathed.

In late, Pheldred ambushed Aumlar Chathoun, who was undercover in a caravan under Orthil Voldovan, en route from Scornubel to Triel, on the way to Waterdeep. He was eventually overmatched and forced to flee.
