Drakkar De Mennan, one of the most despicable and dreaded villans ever, is a member of not only the Zhentarium, but he also sits on the Undead Archmagi Council. Drakkar began his magical studies as an apprentice to a lich named Nazule. Nazule kidnapped Drakkar after murdering his parents, and would have done away with Drakkar, but found a use for him in the upkeep of his stronghold. Nazule constantly tormented and tortured Drakkar as a child, having him perform unspeakable acts of cruelty, constantly threatening to gruesomely murder him, and teaching him to live on a diet of the flesh of sentient beings (especially humans). Drakkar grew to be a mad twisted young man under the supervision of Nazule. Drakkar eventually earned his freedom and began adventuring and practicing magic on his own. He later joined the Zhentarium and was placed under the authority of Lord Brallus Sinstorm, a former priest of Bane, who was then in service to Cyric. Drakkar (while adventuring) came accross 3 powerful artifacts. Bloodthorn, an intelligent enchanted vampiric dagger, The Ring of the Spine, and The Ring of the Ghost. Drakkar was killed in a battle with the Harpers while traveling in the Underdark. Drakkar was brought back from the dead by a powerful necromancer named Raljar Telek. Raljar happened to be the creator of the 3 magical items Drakkar had so quickly becom attached to. Drakkar was given these items in exchange for service and loyalty to Raljar. While in the service of Phianna, Cardinal of the Church of Shar, Queen of Hargoth (now a lesser power of the realm), the Zhentarium, and Raljar, he grew more evil and chaotic than ever imaginable. He worked hand in hand with the Drow (specifically House Despona), Liches, deamons, and even a Death Knight named Hir Russak. He made it his solemn vow to erradicate the Illithid race (after a nasty incident on the Ethereal Plane). Drakkar, Hir Russak, Brallus, Matron Mother Despona, and Raljar were taken by the mists of Ravenloft, where they became lords of the lands (of varying levels) Russak escaped and eventually ascended to the immortal status of a lesser power. Brallus, Despona, and drakkar managed to escape Ravenloft by slaying a Uranium Dragon and finding the Codex of the Planes, which they used to escape and bring their Ravenoft estates back to to Faerun with them..
