Biography & Lore
Oh, you know how it goes. There are many people in the Allir Reach who need killing. Meliant leads a regiment of hedge knights known as the Company of the Hand to perform that killing. Their deeds are mixed. They clash with Rangers as often as bandits and monsters.
In these various crusades, Meliant came across arcane texts which most would agree would have been better destroyed. He studied them instead and adopted the dark practices described therein. Now it would seen those texts have altered him in some unseemly way.
