Mordenkainen



The venerated archmage, world renowned for his revolutionary research into extraplanar entities. Typically stubborn and one who did not suffer fools gladly, Mordenkainen could be difficult even with his friends. Is rumored to be in a long term on again off again relationship with Elminster.

Mordenkainen later traveled to Barovia in an attempt to free the local population from its vampire darklord Strahd and study the demiplanar magic that trapped the area away. However, he underestimated Strahd's power and, after barely surviving a confrontation with him, he lost his spellbook and his staff, eventually losing his memory and being driven to the brink of madness. He became known by the locals as the Mad Mage of Mount Baratok. His madness was cured by Dr. Rudolph van Ritchen with the help of Ezmerelda D'Avenir and the party. He joined in on the Battle of Ravenloft, distracting Strahd long enough for the forces of good to reach the Heart of Sorrow and for Ireena to drive her sword through the Heart.

After the Battle he made his way to Waterdeep long enough to catch up with his old friend Elminster and trade some notes. He is continuing his research into planar magics and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
