Fzoul Chembryl (pronounced: /fzˈuːl ˈtʃɛmbrɪl/ fz-OOL CHEM-bril[4]) was the Faerûnian god of service to evil as well as an exarch of Bane.[2] Formerly the mortal Chosen tyrant of his dark overlord, Fzoul was killed while fighting the Shadovar and was granted the status of an exarch as his reward for dying in Bane's service.[1]
History
Fzoul Chembryl, the ambitious Chosen and High Priest of Bane, joined the Zhentarim when Lord Manshoon (then leader of the Zhentarim) forged an alliance with him. He served as second-in-command for years, seemingly content with his position, but he schemed with another high-ranking Zhentarim, Lord Orgauth (the lord of Zhentil Keep who was, in fact, not human as he seemed, but a fell pit fiend) and eventually ousted Manshoon from power. Fzoul intended to turn the Zhentarim into an arm of the faith of Bane, and forced from the Zhentarim both loyalists to Manshoon (including Manshoon's lieutenant, the powerful mage Sememmon) and the faithful of the rival deity of Cyric. This led to a brewing war within the organization, with the western Zhentarim of Darkhold led by Sememmon and the Cyricists opposing the Zhents and Banites, until Sememmon was forced to abandon Darkhold and go into hiding. The Zhentarim of Darkhold, however, led by the evil Cyricist knight known as the Pereghost and a priest of Cyric called Dhamir Ercals, remained at odds and on the verge of war with the Banites. Fzoul, after Orgauth was slain, almost gained full control over the Zhentarim. An agreement made with Khelben Arunsun prevented Fzoul from organizing Zhentarim expansion into the Sword Coast, but the agreement would not last forever.[citation needed]
