Hazamir al Aktorral

Hazamir al Aktorral was a studious wizard who gained the position of Caleph of Calimshan after both of Shoon IIs brothers had died. Unexpectedly, he became riqysar (regent) of the empire after Shoon II died, charged with taking care of the realm until Shoon III came of age.

The task was beyond him however and rather than doing his job, he concentrated on his magical studies while the infant Shoon III was pampered by servants and the military & nobles were allowed to do as they pleased. He only occasionally deigned to scry on his political opponents from time to time.

His time in office was marked by more aggressive expansionism from the military in the environs of the Lake of Steam and Athkatlas rise from caravan stop to city and capital of Amn.

Once Shoon III came of age in 123 DR, Hazamir faked his own death and started on the road to becoming a lich. Later, in 361 DR Shoon VII discovered Hazamir's lair and turned him into a grisgol. The creature escaped its confinement when Shoon VII, now a demilich became trapped in the Tome of the Unicorn. The vampire Artor Morlin discovered the bizarre creature while fighting an undead horde on the Fields of the Dead in 1131 DR and took it back to his lair in the Dungeon of the Crypt underneath Waterdeep.

If Hazamir's body should ever be destroyed but his phylactery survive, he would regain his original lich body and go to great lengths to recover his soul gem and then go to greater lengths to hunt down Shoon VII.
