Description
Belak was once a humble hermit and initiate druid. He belonged to a Circle of Druids in the forests outside of the village of Oakhart, far from the Norath Vale. He was cast out after asking dark questions about the nature of life, death, and undeath. His perverted fascinations led him down the path of exile. He is obsessed with undeath and sees it as the next natural step after life.
