None know where the Accursed comes from, nor even when he first appeared. Was he seen in the One Hundred Swords uprising? At the foot of Prophet's Hill on that fateful day? Leaving the palace when the False King came ans slew the Devout's Pretender?

Nor can they say for whom he really follows. He has been seen leading Jackals into battle, whispering plans to their malicious leader. Some say that he is a former Obsidian Guard, chosen to be raised up by the Dark Soul for his atrocities. (Some dare whisper that he was one of the dreaded Red Knights.) And he has been seen the most commanding legions of the Cursed, barking orders at the Damned.

His armor indicates that soulless legion from which the Nameless and the Stalkers arise. But the dull red gleam behind the armor reminds one of the Black Lotus Eaters the most.

Whatever his origin, he has been a plague on the armies of the Blackbloods and the Dwarves. Despite countless defeats he returns anew each time with fresh forces and wicked magics. And his time shall come again.
