Gontro Vedrini was a human Necromancer from the land of Tallia that took over the Carallinian village of Boadella in 2A 54, establishing a tyrannical reign that would lead the inhabitants to starvation and horrible living conditions.

Personal history

He was born in the First Age year 6695 in the Tallian city of Egona, where he would become a student of the practices of magic at the nation of Lysandus. Becoming a proper wizard, he began to dive into the magics of necromancy. This practice eventually led him to being run out from the place, and escaping to the island of Carallinia. Around 2A 50, he met Diego Boadella and became a close advisor to him. Once the lord of the city died, he quickly took over and became a tyrant. He also came under the control of the magic item called "The Skeleton Key", which he kept in his tower for further study.   In the year 56, he began to research methods to becoming a Lich, as his understood his life was drawing closer to an end. In order to guard his tower from anyone stopping him from this process, he spawned an armada of skeletons to protect him. He was killed that year by a group of adventurers who infiltrated his fortress. His soul was taken by Cardia to the Nine Hells, where he would be tormented for all eternity.
