Rhazzad

Rhazzad was a Moon elf wizard living in Neverwinter in c.1484 DR. He started studying the Spellcaster and the Chasm. He soon was contacted by mysterious and powerful "Masters" living in the Chasm that promised him great power in exchange for his service causing a spellburst that devastated part of the city.

Rhazzad preyed on those stricken by the spellplague, promising them treatment in his "Tower of Solace". Instead he used them to power some dark ritual,. He also tricked his fellow wizard Tualo the Bright into opening a Portal to the Far Realm. However an adventurer was casually involved in his plans when Dorothea, spellcaster wife of Neverwintan soldier Joseph Linkletter, transforming herself into a monster when emotional, asked the adventurer's help to arrived to the Rhazzad's tower for a medicine he gave her. When the adventurer reported their actions however suspicions about Rhazzad were raised. Later the same adventurer close the Far Realm's Portal in Tualo's house and discovered Rhazzad involvement. In an effort to rescue the soldier's wife from whatever Rhazzad is doing, the adventurer discovered that Rhazzad had sacrificed all of the spellscarred people that he's kept out of Helm's Hold to fuel a deadly magical explosion. A full assault was ordered on Rhazzad's tower before he can complete whatever plans he had for the Spellplague energy he had at his command. Against orders, Joseph Linkletter rushed ahead of the main force and was transformed into a massive foulspawn by Rhazzad, who intended to use him as a testbed for his own transformation. Joseph was subdued and managed to regain his sanity alongside his plaguechanged wife, while the adventurer confronted Rhazzad. It turned out Rhazzad was communicating with unnamed "masters" within the Chasm, who promised to grant him unlimited knowledge and power in exchange for his help. Though Rhazzad successfully completed his own transformation into a plaguechanged monstrosity, he was slain before he could fully achieve his goals. .
