Constant Drachenfels

A lot of stories surround this evil. According to some, he is "older than time itself, somehow managing to take the life out of his victims and extend his own life."
"He would wear a body, amalgamated from the corpses of chosen victims until it was rotten and worn out. Then he would select a new body, repeating the whole process again and again."

He established himself at Castle Drachenfels, an all but impregnable fortress high in the Grey Mountains, at an unknown date. He maintained numerous hidden spies and infiltrated agents in several cities, palaces and courts of the Old World.

Drachenfels commanded a veritable army composed of goblins, but would suffer his first and greatest defeat at the hands of Sigmar, a barbarian warlord who had gathered several human tribes.

Drachenfels' army was routed and he was slain by Sigmar himself. However somehow he managed to survive and after a thousand years managed to fully restore himself.

In 1854 IC he gathered an army composed of undead and daemons and marched upon the Bretonnian city of Parravon. After extracting a suitable tribute he had the local ruling noble family executed together with their chief ministers and officials.

Some decades later Drachenfels ostensibly repented his crimes, and publicly renounced evil. Paying large reparations to his living victims, and abasing himself at the graves of many others, he managed to gain the trust of Emperor Carolus and invited the whole imperial court for a feast at Castle Drachenfels. In the infamous poison feast Drachenfels poisoned his guests, paralysing them. Helpless, they saw their children, which they had brought with them, tortured and murdered. Afterwards they starved to death with a prepared feast before their eyes.

Oswald von Konigswald
In 2480 IC a group of adventurers, led by Oswald von Konigswald and Genevieve Dieudonné, infiltrated Castle Drachenfels and Oswald managed to kill the Great Enchanter. Drachenfels' death caused a magical backlash which killed or revealed most of his hidden agents. The castle's garrison was later put to the sword by an army sent by Emperor Luitpold, while the castle itself was left all but undamaged at Oswald's request.

In 2505 IC Oswald bought the abandoned castle and hired the actor and impressario Detlef Sierck to write and direct a theatre play based upon Oswald's heroic feat, to be performed in Castle Drachenfels itself. Emperor Karl Franz, his son and heir-apparent Luitpold, all the Electors and other high-ranking officials of The Empire were the invited audience of the play's premier.

Drachenfels re-appeared during the play, returned from all but certain death, intent on taking over The Empire. However, aided by Sigmar, Genevieve and Detlef managed to defeat and kill him.
