Novraad: The Craven

Attributes: Mage, Fighter, melee

Lore: Doctor Novraad was an esteemed scientist, an expert in medicinal remedies extracted from plants. Obsessed with preserving life, he became curious about the plantlife of the mysterious Shadow Isles, where death and life seem to coincide. First Doctor Novraad moved to Zaun and began his new research. However, the expensive and hard to get plants from the Shadow Isles made his research near impossible. Doctor Novraad decided there was only one thing he can do…move to the Shadow Isles. After living there for just two days, Doctor Novraad classified over three dozen plants no one had even heard of before, but his research came with a cost. Doctor Novraad’s wife, Dehlylah, became unshakably ill. Using every remedy he knew and even applying the knowledge of all the new plantlife he encountered, his wife steadily grew worse until after three months of her weakening she finally died. Grief stricken at his loss the good doctor did the only thing he could with what he had learned from the Shadow Isles. He decided to preserve her body with a potion he concocted. The night after applying the mixture to Dehlylah’s form he awoke to find her swarmed by Kryull; a viscious, batlike creature with an unsatiable taste for flesh. The doctor shooed them away from his wife’s body to find her awake, but not herself. When she attacked him he was forced to destroyed her. The wounds he sustained killed him, but the only memory he retained is that a living man destroyed his wife. Novraad befriended the native Kryuul and swore vengeance against the living.
