I think you might be referring to baneliches.

Three are named in the Ruins of Zhentil Keep boxed set:
Stallac Benadi
Tomar of Bane
Harr Santolic
Another is named in Cloak & Dagger:
Faram Khaldan
The same source, on page 16, includes this line: "Hidden baneliches in Hillsfar, Phlan, Tantras, Yhaunn, Tulbeg, and Marsember explode as their power is ripped from them."
And in a 2004 post here, Ed names -- without providing any details -- the following baneliches:
Clarth Hornhaeld
Khorvan Jaeleth
Harlrhys Moksoun
Haursar Rhallowglas
Laumbur Yuthlekh
I find myself wondering about the aftermath of those baneliches exploding in the Tyrantfog... Might such explosions have cause lingering side effects?
Anyway, I don't have a detailed list, but I was able to pull this all together.

While that sounds familiar, he's not mentioned in Ruins of Zhentil Keep -- where baneliches are detailed -- and isn't mentioned as rising as an undead of any flavor in Cult of the Dragon (unless I overlooked the reference). |

He was never given a separate name. He claimed to be Bane.
He was something of an odd case, too. The original write-up of Baneliches says that they get their spells from Bane -- but this Banelich was giving spells to Walinda. So he must, as he claimed, have had some additional part of Bane in him.
Since he was never given another name, he could have been any of the named ones we already know about -- or any of the 26 unnamed ones. |
