Kane Grey Thorn

Dossier

Kane was once a young nobleman of Grey Thorn, arrogant and hungry for forbidden knowledge. He sought out a beautiful witch and learned the bones of dark magic from her — how meat remembers, how a name can be cut, how a man can be struck like a bell forever. When he betrayed her to the mage hunters, she cursed him as she burned: "You will never know death, Kane Grey Thorn. Only hunger. Only exile." His flesh began to decay. His hunger became eternal. He fled Grey Thorn and has wandered Tanelon for over six centuries since. In the events of The Chronicles of Kane, he takes bounties in Arkest, encounters Sorrowblade and Bladesfool on the road, battles the dark elf Folshen of House Darkashul, is captured by void realm witches, fights the necromancer Fallis Genlo in the Void Realm, infiltrates the corrupted Temple of Kodiak in Spelloch to retrieve a forbidden book, runs through Arkest hunted by Shadowborn elves, and finally returns to the ruins of Grey Thorn where mage hunters led by Lord Grent attempt to destroy him. They fail. He rises from his own grave, empowered by Grey Thorn soil, and pursues them into the night.
