History

Tarmysian by birth, served the vampire Orgren for 200 years. Tekua was one of the few thralls that lived. When Orgren was killed by a Silver Talent knight of Umbak, his thralls were released. Tekua now seeks to replace his dead master, and is conducting a blood sacrifice for this to make his own Cold Bargain. Getting back into their good graces before the aging begins to catch up to him is his primary goal.

Tekua was cornered in Torrelson’s Ford. He went crazy, killed a few people and fled into the countryside. He’s been wanted by the authorities ever since, under the name of “Arture”…

History of Orgren

Orgren was a one time butcher of Ados and serial killer. Orgren was taken by the Lich Lords through a Cold Bargain and given undeath as a vampire. He in turn collected several thralls in and around the edges of Umbak and southern Dunstrand over a 500 year period. His presence was known by the Umbakians and House Malor of Dunstrand, and he was actively hunted by the Umbakians whom he hated with a passion. He was willing to sacrifice his thralls in exchange for luring in knights and slaying them. When the power of the Lich Lords was diminished, several of their minions were unshackled. Orgren was killed by a Silver Talent knight of Umbak, releasing his thralls.
