			==Biography==
			Some five centuries before the events of the Mark of Nerath, Magroth ruled the entirety of Nerath, an [[empire]] on the [[Material Plane]] of the [[Points of Light]] world that was the 4th Edition implied setting (the world that holds [[Netir Vale]]). Having sold his [[soul]] to [[Orcus]] at an early age, he stayed in power through multiple pacts and regular [[sacrifices]] to the demonlord of [[undeath]]. His rule was without controversy, for several political dissidents worked against his wills. As [[punishment]] for the actions of only a few, Magroth decided that everyone of Darani was to suffer. He insisted that every [[family]] give up their first born child to be [[killed]].

			As Magroth gathered everyone together to enact the punishment, he was [[assassinated]] by Krondor, mystically empowered through a pact of his own with the [[Raven Queen]]. Kalaban in turn killed Krondor. With Magroth's fall, a terrible calamity struck Darani, all the citizens were [[killed]] and [[reanimated]] as undead as Darani slipped into the [[Shadowfell]]. Several centuries passed with Magroth stuck as any of his subjects in Darani, a domain with essentially always closed [[border]]s.

			Finally, after 500 years, Magroth was given a temporary reprieve from his curse as part of a deal with Orcus made through the demonlord's death priest [[Barana Strenk]]. In order to make the reprieve permanent, Magroth had to perform a series of tasks for Orcus, including arranging the [[death]]s of the last living descendant, [[Falon]] and a [[vampire lord]] named [[Sareth]] whom had welshed on a deal with Orcus. Taking Kalaban with him, Magroth left to the [[Material Plane]] The death of Sareth was readily accomplished. However, Magroth became enamored of the magical [[amulet]] the [[vampire]] wore, for in his thirst for power Magroth wished to have add vampire powers to his own. However, by donning the amulet, Magroth the Mad became [[cursed]] with vampiric weaknesses such as [[sunlight]]. He also had to contend with the amulet for [[domination]] of his will.

			The list of tasks also included enacting a [[ritual]] to animate the masses of [[undead]] in a lost necropolis. Magroth the Mad sought to pervert the ritual to his own ends to free himself from Orcus and take command of the undead. In order to do this, he would have to sacrifice Fallon. However, he was thwarted by the [[revenant]] [[Erak]] and a band of [[adventurer]]s. Erak, whom was actually Krondor returned from centuries of slumber, struck Magroth down. Magroth was recaptured by [[the Mists]] and was presumably dragged back to Darani. Without Darani around, Kalaban abandoned his former duties to find his own place in the world.
