Origin: Birth place is unknown, but grew up and trained in Ilsharess, the High Elven capital city of Pithamos.

Race: Dark Elf

Fighting Style: Kergahan combines the uses of potent magic from the Necromancy school with combating undead in order to disrupt the negative energy life essence flowing through them. When it comes to fighting in close combat, he combines several uses of powerful spells from the Transmutation and Evocation schools, making him a formidable foe in melee.

Profession: Alchemist, Physician, Scholar and Historian

Classes: Necromancer/ Red Wizard of Thay/ Arch Mage

Appearance: Kergahan stands a little under six feet tall, making him unusually tall for a half elf of his breed. He is naturally strong and dexterous, and has a very solid build. He has raven black hair and solid black pupils with deathly pale skin. Though he is physically attuned, his eerie appearance makes him considerably unappealing to most types of people./ White hair, violet tinged jet black skin, and deep green eyes that look like gems.

Weapon: Before his possession, Kergahan used his potent magical greatsword, Serablaze, a weapon carved from a glacier in the distant Frozen North. Now that Millian Tyralious has gone toward the path of voluntary poverty, he uses the sword of the deceased Captain Vlad from the groups' earlier adventures. Campaign: The Main Campaign

Theme Song: No Memory by Stone Temple Pilots.

Description
Given a second chance again at life by the generosity of a dear friend, the Half-Grey Elven Battle Mage intends to give penitence for his past sins, even though they were committed against his will. Once possessed by a powerful Lich, he was finally released and revived by his old compatriot from the Dragon Wars, Mino Shiya/Dyamus Stonecutter. As equally cursed and dedicated as the two individuals are, Kergahan shares a terrible secret not even known to his close personal friends. Following the path of Necromancy, he dedicates his training to eradicating undead rather than raising it. For the very essence of undead flows through his veins, giving him supernatural strength and agility uncommon to his Grey Elven cousins. Being the progeny of the pairing between a transcended vampire by the name of Magattnus, and an unsuspecting Grey Elf, Kergahan carries the burden of being an outcast. Since rising from the grave, he has traveled with Mino Shiya/Dyamus Stonecutter and his companions aiding them in their battles with the Illithid invaders, and has ambitions for helping them defeat the tyranny of the Demon Lord in Spiral Tower Mountain. After D'jumi Ooomboulos recently gained the title of Elemental Mage of Life, perhaps Kergahan too will try for the opposing position on the Elemental Council.

Updated note: Kergahan set off from the group for a time, he accompanied Millian Tyr through Wakegrave Forest in order to gain entrance into the Temple of All Gods. Through a recent exploit and blood pact the group has made with a demonic deity, Kergahan has recently undertaken an apprenticeship with Death himself. If he survives Wakegrave Forest, then he shall undergo his training to become the future Mage of Death, a position recently opened on the Elemental Council.

After being freed from his bonds by the Goddess Awfhule, a deity he once revered, Kergahan has been given back his will to decide his own fate.

Kergahan suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder, or the existence in an individual of two or more distinct personalities or ego-states, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. His mind consists of three separate, personalities which are the entities of long vanquished decadent individuals from an age long past. After Death himself awoke the most powerful, yet dormant personality, (that of Mino Shiya’s once arch nemesis, a lich of currently unknown origins) something strange occurred. Kergahan had already offered the soul of this Lich (who had once possessed Kergahan, and cursed Mino Shiya with his double form.) as leverage for convincing a demonic God of Death for freeing the souls of many prominent figures of Safeev. This created the effects of a schism to happen, a sort of mutual coexistence between the three identities, with Kergahan arising as the dominant persona. The third and final personality has been unobtrusive, and thus still remains a mystery for now. I suppose only time will tell if this persona will awakened and vie for control versus the others.

Final note: After an epic battle at the Capital city in the Weiv Jexian empire, Kergahan witnessed the partial might of only one of the highest ranking members of the priest order. Giving it some thought, he believed they could not stand a chance in this fight without divine assistance. So, he sacrificed his power and his life in order to enlist the help of Vertican's brother Greg, the strongest entity on Sert, with his powers being used to fuel his protection from most complex magics. Kergahan decided to aid Greg in his adaptation to his life on Sert, and now travels with Greg in his afterlife.
